It seems that chant doesn't have enough design space to support one color in more than one set.
Hence, I'll likely more all the Melian / sinder stuff to next set along with 
. Or maybe I should move 
to the next set since it seems to be developing some kind of Island theme(?). In any case, I don't think I can have 3 colors with chant running around in this color. I feel like at least one needs to moved to the next set.
This is currently designed to be the first set of a three set block of Silmarillion. I'm using this plan: http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2015/07/11/98552-an-essay-the-silmarillion-as-a-trilogy/
Film 1 – The War of the Jewels
• The Creation of Arda and the Trees and chaining of Melkor
• The Awakening of Elves and their Journey to Aman.
• The Creation of the Silmarils
• The theft of the Silmarils and oath of Fëanor
• The Kin slaying and Doom of the Noldor
• The Battle Under the Stars and slaying of Fëanor
Film 2 – The Love of Lúthien
Film 3 – The Breaking of the World
Dividing the Book
66 pages in the book total, 162 cards in set
=> Around 2,4 cards per page
This might seem a bit weird at first, but it gives a nice kind of inevitability and also helps to keep the frequency of references around equal (how much time is spent on whatever issue).
