3 stages

Like Mithadan I thought 3 stages were mentioned in the laws and customs chapter of HoME 10 but upon a quick scan after seeing this post I looked it up and could find nothing and so I waited for the other real elven loremaster of the board to post [elenion, the first being mithadan] and sure enough he had source being the Vinyar Tengwar journal , [for the '3rd' stage at least].

But what article in VT exactly, Elenion?

laws and customs does make reference to a youth of elves, as mentioned so a pre-bearded adult phase is a natural and almost certainly correct inference.

Is the Beleg picture in the newer JRRT artist and illustrator or the pictures by JRRT or?...
