Comments are now closed but you can continue using the prompts; no claiming is necessary.

How to Post your Prompts:

Leave a comment with the subject line identifying the main characters, gen/het/slash/femslash/poly (if it’s not obvious), a brief description of the prompt, and possible warnings if needed (MPTTor SWG’s). The comment itself should be the prompt.

If for some reason you cannot make a subject line appear, please write and bold the relevant information as the first line of your prompt.

The subject lines and/or bold text will allow participants to easily scan for prompts they're interested in.

For example:

Subject line-- Frodo and Aragorn, gen, hurt/comfort at the Field of Cormallen
Comment-- While Frodo is unconscious after being rescued from Mount Doom, Aragorn cares for him.

OR

Comment-- Fëanor/Nerdanel, wedding night, sexual content

On their wedding night, Fëanor and Nerdanel end up not sleeping at all, as they are too busy enjoying each other.

Éowyn and Lothíriel, gen, the first Shieldmaiden

[ladyelleth.livejournal.com]

Lothíriel is about to marry Éomer and become Queen of Rohan, but grows nervous the night before the festivities. She seeks out Éowyn for comfort, who tells stories to pass the time and to familiarize Lothíriel a little more with Rohirric culture and tradition - among them Éowyn's favourite about the first Shieldmaiden of the Rohirrim, and how that tradition began.

That story could be based on Germanic myth (Hervor (II) from the Hervarar Saga, maybe?) and history, or canon (or both). Encyclopedia of Arda (http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/s/shieldmaidens.html) has some interesting thoughts, and there's a reference in HoMe VIII stating that Éowyn says that women must ride now, as they did in a like evil time in the days of Brego [> Aldor], when the wild men of the East came from the Inland Sea into the Eastemnet.

I saw this whilst 'window shopping' last weekend - and now I am pretty sure I have time to write something for it!

So here is a Rohirric farthing, struck during the reign of Éomer Eadig....
