Re: beards

Mahtan, father-in-law to Feanor, was rumored to have a beard. In his picture re-titled &quot;Mirkwood&quot;, 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).

"The Silmarils with living light
were kindled clear, and waxing bright
shone like stars that in the North
above the reek of earth leap forth." </p>
