[Admin note: Our poll for this year's B2MeM theme ended up with a perfect tie between the scavenger hunt and alphabet options. We've kinda sorta combined the two, using the scavenger hunt format with the alphabet for inspiration. Thanks again to everyone who shared feedback with us!]

Middle-earth is full of hunters. The Vala Oromë found the first people of Middle-earth while hunting, and hunters have remained central to the stories since. Whether hunting for an Arkenstone or a band of Orcs or for truth and justice, Tolkien’s world is full of hunts for things both physical and metaphorical. Back-to-Middle-earth Month Scavenger Hunt: Expedition in the Abecedarium seeks to encourage creativity in the Tolkien fandom through a “quote scavenger hunt” that participants will use as inspiration for stories, art, meta, and other creative responses.
