Do elves become old?

They become very old indeed. CÃ*rdan is even said to have a beard!
And here comes a question: Would Fëanor have had a beard if he still lived?

Yes, it may be that only those who awoke at Cuivenen would have beard now...
But Fëanor was one of the first (if not the first!) Elf who was born after Cuivenen... Anyway, his beard would probably burn down

The disturbing picture of Feanor with a beard keeps popping up in my brain. Oh Falagar, why did you put that idea into my head?
BTW, have my e-mail disappeared into the garbage can again?

No, I just don't check my e-mail very often (about once a day or so). I'll check it right away
(probably not very fun for the rest of the Mooters hearing us chatter... ) Edit: It was in the Junk again...Saved your new address

Does Tolkien ever hint at where men go when they die? I always assumed that they go to be with Iluvatar.

I knew they were summoned to Mandos and then they leave the circles of the world from there...I guess I always concluded that since Iluvatar was beyond the circles of the world (said in the akallabeth) and that men go to a fate beyaond the circles of the world, then to Iluvatar is where they would go. |

Late, but still I remeber something about Cirdans beard. He was an exception. Only few elves do have beards. So I don't think that Feanor had a beard.

Ok, to take another example, how about Finwë? Or perhaps, to take a person that is alive, Ingwë? Do you think he sits in Aman with a long beard?
Ok, this discussion got a little out of hand...

But I did not think of Túrin having a beard. I can't imaging how kissing a man with a beard is and Nienor kissed him. Okay, that are two opposite statements. Faramir with beard can kiss Eowyn, but Túrin with beard could not kiss Nienor. Quote:
