A new view on elven ears
Now then, look at your ear. See the bit of the lobe under your earhole? Right, good. Now, in say 70 years of living, gravity pulls that bit down. Lets say that somebody who was 70 had 2cm of that earlobe part. A very young elf of only 700 would have 20 centimetres of earlobe, presuming that gravity worked the same before the world was made round. So a 3000 year old elf (leggy) would have abot a metre of earlobe-thingy. And really old elves, like Cirdan, would have their ears down to the ground. Didnt this cause a problem in fighting, and being graceful? did they tie their ears in bows to keep the out of the way? How and what did they do to deal with the situation?
