It's just an interesting decision on his part to start with the reaction to their appearance rather than their appearance and then to sort of build up.
But anyway, it's so unique in the way he describes people.
And I just thought it was worth lingering on for a bit.
But Don, tell us a little bit about what they look like, right?
What does the text tell us?
Yeah, it would.
Flatter noses, which of course is going to mean wider nasal bases.
And interestingly, even though they are in some ways a little bit like the dwarves in terms of their height and their build, very unlike the dwarves here, but more of a similarity with the hobbits, they have no facial hair below their eyebrows.
No sideburns, no mustache, no beard.
I mean, you get the occasional guy who could grow a small tail of hair on his chin, like a single braid beard, but
like scraggly and not very thick.
You can sort of imagine.
It's just interesting.
And you wonder where is he drawing?
Is he drawing any real world inspiration?
The chapter's name is beards.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it's the one that tells us that Aragorn, Denethor, Boromir, Faramir, none of them would have facial hair at all.
The fact that they don't is sort of a hmm.
