Ha, mentioning the second daughter in passing, because who cares about the first? At this point, Hurin's family is all kinds of fucked, and it rubs out on the people around them. (poor, poor Beleg)
Also, Petty-Dwarves. Oh this side racism. I never understood how Tolkien always had to beat down on the dwarven race. Well, that's what you get when you keep using height as shorthand for greatness in you characters. Even Hobbit aren't spared that nonsense, with Merry and Pippin coming back "as the tallest hobbits ever" after the War of the Ring.
You know what? 8 foot tall Meadhros probably looked silly on a horse and bumped his head everywhere, how's that for your mighty Feanorian?
