B2MeM 2013: Day Eighteen

[dawn_felagund]

Below are three prompts, one from each of the three major eras of Arda’s history. To participate, choose one that sounds interesting, locate the quote in the books (that’s the scavenger hunt bit!), read the surrounding passage or chapter, and create your piece based on that.

Your piece does not need to be based on the scene from the quote. While this is certainly one approach, you could also write about a character, location, or theme found in the scene. Remember, there’s no prompt police, and we encourage creative use of the prompts!

	"For the Naugrim withstood fire more hardily than either Elves or Men, and it was their custom moreover to wear great masks in battle hideous to look upon; and those stood them in good stead against the dragons."
	"Therefore they grew wise and glorious, and in all things more like to the Firstborn than any other of the kindreds of Men; and they were tall, taller than the tallest of the sons of Middle-earth; and the light of their eyes was like the bright stars."
	"'They come from Mordor,' said Strider in a low voice. 'From Mordor, Barliman, if that means anything to you.'"

To use the icons, you can either right-click, save them to your computer, and upload them to your own image host or you can copy the HTML code below the icon you want and paste it wherever HTML is acceptable.

Many thanks to Zdenka, Lyra and Elleth for their wonderful work on the icons for Day Eighteen!

There's a tiny typo in the links to today's icons -- they all link to the respective icons for March 16!

Oops! Thanks for the catch! This is evidence of my rush to get B2MeM posted yesterday mere minutes before stepping out the door to celebrate St. Patty's Day because I wasn't sure how late I'd be getting home! ;)
