Fakes - all fakes.What about Círdan the Ship-wright? Not to mention Nastajia's dad Oberon (of 'The Dreamland Chronicles' fame)?
Tolkien's LOTR setting does not canonically have female bearded dwarves. That's just a fandom joke.If you're playing in a setting where female Dwarves have beards, such as Tolkein LotR setting, then those females can have beards.

Peter Jackson =/= Tolkien. (And if I'm gonna be really snarky, Peter Jackson < Tolkien.)
In my campaign world, there are no female dwarves anymore. What happened is a campaign mystery. New dwarves are carved from stone by their parent and blessed alive by the priests in major rituals. So they are all male, all bearded, and a great quest for the whole race is to discover how to placate the gods and get the females back.

Damn... It’s too bad we’ll probably never get this given how prolific the Peter Jackson films are. I love the first trilogy and enjoyed the first of the Hobbit films, but I agree this would be a much better format to adapt the series to.I agree with you that Tolkien > Jackson, though I'm still a big fan of the movies and think that the books as written were unfilmable. They're masterpieces, but different media require different tacts, and as many gripes as I have regarding BOTH Jackson trilogies, they're still quiet laudable in their achievements. Honestly, I think the books would be better suited to serialized adaptation, though - a 4 season TV show would probably be the best format for Hobbit+LotR.
I admit I forgot about that, but I'd call it "secondary canon" at best--an idea Tolkien may have had at one point but didn't necessarily keep to.Actually, that's not true. Tolkien described female dwarves as having beards in War of the Jewels and in The Peoples of Middle-earth.
I'm just salty because they thoroughly messed up my favorite part of the books (everything to do with the Stewards of Gondor). Well, except that they did a great job with Boromir, but then he came across as the best member of his whole family, which is also a problem... I blame Philippa Boyens and her obvious raging crush on Aragorn.I agree with you that Tolkien > Jackson, though I'm still a big fan of the movies and think that the books as written were unfilmable.
