Gillete, The Best Cirdan Can Get!

[latando angaina]

well, I have a notion all the elves in ME are beardless, yet Cirdan the Shipwright is described as follows:

Very tall he was, and his beard was long, and he was grey and old, save that his eyes were keen as stars; and he looked at them and bowed, and said: ‘All is now ready.’

Very tall is allright for an elf, but old and bearded?

any opinions?
