What do you wish Tolkien.... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

A lot of things!

-I would love to have a full description of Boromir's journey from Minas Tirith to Rivendell.

-What happened to Elladan and Elrohir?

-How did Tolkien come to a final vision after the process that is read in HoMe?

I have a lot of appearance questions...appearance questions that most people probably do not care about!

-I would like incredibly detailed physical appearances on each member of The Fellowship. I would love an answer to my questions on beards- most likely they did not, but I would love to know whether or not Tolkien pictured Boromir and Aragorn with beards of any kind. I know the canon leans towards no, but it is never mentioned that they do not. For my part I see them as beardless...which leads me to my next question...

-Were all Numenoreans beardless until old age? When did they start growing beards? Were they unable to or did they choose not to in fashion after the Elves?

-Were there dark-haired Rohirrim?

-The hair color of Legolas?

Of course there are more that I might post later.
