Re: beards

Mahtan, father-in-law to Feanor, was rumored to have a beard. In his picture re-titled "Mirkwood", which in reality was Beleg coming across Gwindor in Taur-Nu-Fuin, Beleg appears to have a beard though this is uncertain.

BTW, the references to Elven aging were in Morgoth's Ring if I recall (categorizing the three phases may be my interpretation based upon the description rather than words used by JRRT) and I thus incorporated it into Cirdan's discussion with Ælfwine in Conversations in Avallónë. Sorry but I don't have HoME 10 with me to provide a cite (and I hope its not actually HoME 12).
