War Pig1237 wrote: Aside from perhaps the lavish plate Armour which you mentioned above Fingowin, I believe that Peter jackson's The Lord of the Rings films were quite accurate in their portrayal of the Eldar. Furthermore, please note that it was explicitly stated in several of Tolkien's works and by the Professor himself that elvish earlobes were leaf-shaped and slightly pointed (see here).

"the Quendian ears were more pointed and leaf-shaped than Human."

- Extract from Professor Tolkien's early linguistic writings

Oh good to know! Yesterday I read an article where someone memtioned they had normal ears which confused me...

If I'm honest I love the elven armour (and Gondor armour too) in the films. The only elves I like wearing chain mail are the elves of cirdan because they somehow are like more noble vikings :)
