Talk:Círdan

Beard

I don't own it myself, but I know where the "third cycle" stuff is found: Vinyar Tengwar 41. Other than that, there is the quote from "The Grey Havens":

"As the came to the gates Círdan the Shipwright came to greet them. Very tall his 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 he said: 'All is now ready.' "

That's all I've got, I'm afraid. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 11:12, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, well assuming our article is accurate it contains "Etymological Notes on the Ósanwe-kenta", "From The Shibboleth of Fëanor" and "Notes on Óre" by Tolkien. I just read the Shibboleth of Feanor so I know there's nothing about Cirdan there. I'll see if the other two were published in HoME as well. —Aulë the Smith ^(Tk·Cb) 12:00, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Reading around the web I'm pretty sure it's in the Ósanwe-kenta section, but that hasn't been published anywhere but VT. If someone with that issue could verify the discussion about 'third cycles' and beards and then add a reference that would be great. —Aulë the Smith ^(Tk·Cb) 12:07, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

The Osanwe section of VT41 is two pages words Etymologies-style. Scouring through the issue now. -- Ederchil ^{(Talk/Contribs/Edits)} 12:31, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

"Notes on Óre" does briefly mention the aging of Elves and Men, but does not mention a Third Cycle or Círdan. -- Ederchil ^{(Talk/Contribs/Edits)} 12:47, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps it's in the main body of the Ósanwe-kenta - issue 39 I think. —Aulë the Smith ^(Tk·Cb) 13:16, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
