“It’s true, you don’t see many dwarf women. And in fact they’re so alike in voice and appearance, they’re often mistaken for dwarf men!”
(Whispering) “It’s the beards.”
I was never quite sure whether Aragorn meant “beards are how you tell them apart” or “the women having beards are why they’re so often mistaken”
isn’t it definitely the latter?
What do you weave into your beard: lavender or cedar?
Whether or not Dwarven women have beards is a hotly debated topic in both LOTR and DnD. I was surprised to learn this too.
