The Game
The game is named Five Things: Writers' Prompts. This manner of prompt was invented by a group of people in Shurtugal Fan Fiction website, which then became popular when the group opened a club for people interested with the game. Sadly, because the website – consisting of forums and a place to publish writings – is strictly for fans of the Inheritance Cycle series, I cannot channel my fondness of the unique method there if the theme of the prompts is not related to the Inheritance Cycle; therefore, I cannot express prompts for Tolkien's works like this there.
The game, originally, is like this: Person A offers up a prompt – always in the number of five – (say, "Five ways to irritate Murtagh (in IC) or Námo Mandos (in LotR)", then Person B explains the five ways (but the explanation must be more than one sentence) before offering his or her own prompt which the next person (Person C or back to Person A if there are only two people playing) must 'answer' before continuing the line by his or her own idea of the five-things prompt. In the original game, there could also be one other alternative prompt offered in case the next person in line does not like the prompt or has difficulty in figuring it out. The prompt itself could be – five – ways, situations, count of times, places, situations, and so on about one certain character – and sometimes one certain timeline or area.
Now I tweak the game a bit – with profuse apologies to the inventors – to suit this… unique circumstance. The number and requirements in each prompt stay the same, but the length of each piece in every prompt is longer than some sentences, and I play alone – sadly – and so there is no one in line or alternative choice of prompt. If you give me ideas, though, I shall happily oblige the challenge – as long as those ideas do not tamper with my believes and personal views; so just go on and tell me in whatever means of communication you like – E-mail, PM, review, or messenger (mine is at unknown(underscore)aware(at)hotmail(dot)com. The same goes if you wish to ask me questions or if you wish to play with me – I would be very delighted indeed!

Summary
In nearly every home, its dwellers have rooms, items or nooks special for themselves. It is no different even with the greatest of the Valar, Manwë and Varda. These are five features of their home most beloved by the couple with their various reasons.
Of the Prompt
In this prompt, five features of Ilmarin, the abode of the Valar Manwë and Varda, are 'explained out'. The features can be rooms (or a part of it), decoration (tapestry etcetera), or areas (a quiet courtyard or places like that). There could be original characters – whether fully or borrowing the disused names from Tolkien – appearing here, but the main characters are Manwë and Varda. The timeline, if there is any, is given before each part of the five pieces; all pieces, however, are not closely connected in this regard.
