So it's not out of the ordinary.
It's not an indication of intellect or ability.
And it's interesting, you know, he talks about the flints to do things with as tools.
They were stone tools, but men had access to metals even before they arrived in Beleriand.
But the explanation here is that, look, metal was rare and expensive to work with, so they worked with stone.
The footnote adds that the Itani had access to metals and smithing via their contact with the dwarves, which makes sense.
How else would they have gotten access to that sort of
material.
And the dwarves, of course, trading all the time, that's how it works, but not with the druidine.
They didn't particularly care about metals.
They worked with the stone tools.
