Elves (Middle-earth) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Elves are described as the fairest and wisest of all creatures in Middle-earth, lovers of art (particularly songs, which they sing in beautiful voices). Stricty speaking, Elves and Elf are translations of the Westron terms for them, in keeping with Tolkien's conceit that his writings on Middle-earth were translated from the Red Book of Westmarch. The Ñoldorin Elves in particular possess skills and knowledge which to Men appear to be "magic." Their memories and dreams are as vivid as real life. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Elves_(Middle-earth)   (1154 words)

Middle-earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tolkien insisted that Middle-earth is Earth in several of his letters, in one of them (no. 211) estimating the end of the Third Age to about 6,000 years before his own time. Tolkien translated 'Middle Earth' as Endor (or sometimes Endóre) and Ennor in the Elvish languages Quenya and Sindarin, respectively. By the end of the age, all that remained of the free Elves and Men in Beleriand was a settlement at the mouth of the River Sirion. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Middle-earth   (5772 words)

Encyclopedia: Elves (Middle earth) Concerned for the safety of the Elves in Middle-earth, which was at that time under the control of Melkor, the Valar left Valinor and made war against the Dark Lord: this was the Battle of the Powers, which saw Melkor taken as captive back to Valinor. Unlike Men, the Elves were not subject to illness or death, and at the time of the Lord of the Rings, there were still at least two Elves in Aman who had awoken by Cuiviénen in the first days; Ingwë, Lord of the Vanyar, and Olwë, brother of King Elu Thingol. Even the elves were able to teach their skills of craft to the men who came to rule Númenor, a kingdom later noted for its works of wonder and enchantment. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Elves-(Middle_earth)   (251 words)

Middle Earth - History Sometime after the awakening of the elves, the dwarves, guided by Aule, migrated to the mountains of western Middle Earth. Upon returning to Middle Earth, the Noldor were hailed as "High Elves" and reunited with the Sindar who never departed Middle Earth. More distant still were the "wild men" who, in unrecorded history, settled in western Middle Earth as the Easterlings (swarthy men who, already tainted by the corruption of evil, attempted to migrate into Beleriand late in the First Age), the Woses, the Men of the White Mountains, and the Haradrim. www.geocities.com /scott_metz/lotrhistory.html   (3107 words)

ELF, ELVES There are now but four enclaves of Elves left in Middle-Earth: the kingdom of Thranduil in Northern Mirkwood; the Last Homely House of Elrond in Rivendell; Lothlórien, ruled by Lady Galadriel - the most powerful Elf remaining in Middle-Earth; and the Grey Havens of Círdan to the West of the Shire. As the third age progresses, many Elves have now left Middle-Earth, returning to their true home in Valinor, no longer concerned with the troubles of their former home. Although all MUME races are immortal in a sense, Elves have the additional benefit of being immune to disease. mume.pvv.org /Import/help/elf.html   (221 words)

One Risus to Rule Them All... Even the elves were able to teach their skills of craft to the men who came to rule Númenor, a kingdom later noted for its works of wonder and enchantment. It is the inherent “blessed” nature of the elves and the simple intention of their craft which makes their works endure. As orcs are corrupted elves in their origin, their enchantments are as negative images of elven works. mmkurko.home.att.net   (2510 words)

Middle Earth Races All elves in Middle Earth are ageless, untouched by sickness or pestilence. Thus some of the Teleri were in Middle Earth, and never saw the light of Aman, and were called the Moriquendi, the elves of the dark. The Noldor pursued Melkor to Middle Earth, and swore a terrible oath in disobedience of the Valar, and fought the fruitless war of the Silmarills. www.fortunecity.com /victorian/byzantium/55/merpadd.htm   (2549 words)

Middle Earth Council Of Elves They wrestle against the spiritual forces of Satan, much like the Elves stood in alliance with men against the evil forces of Sauron and Sauraman in the battle of good vs. evil in the wars of Middle Earth. We are here for a reason, and that reason is to keep the magic of Middle Earth alive, that so many people on this planet have forgotten to see. Elves have been likened to the Angels of God. groups.msn.com /MiddleEarthCouncilOfElves   (396 words)

The Great Journey Lord of the Rings Fanatics Library Most were convinced to leave their dwelling and go to Valinor, but some preffered the starlight of Middle Earth rather than the rumour of the Trees, and so were sundered from their kin, and are called the Avari, the Unwilling. Long and slow was their march, for there were many pathless leagues from Cuiviénen to the western shore of Middle Earth, and the Eldalië: did not hasten, for they wondered at all they saw on their journey. He then came back to Aman and told of them, whom he called the Eldar, and Manwë decided to assail Melkor and regain control of Middle Earth. www.lotrlibrary.com /racesofarda/elves.asp   (736 words)

The Elves Leave Middle-Earth Orome named the three groups of elves that came with him the Eldar, or "Elves of the Great Journey." Those that stayed behind in Middle-Earth, and still reside there to this day, were named Avari, or "Unwilling." A name was given to the three groups of Eldar. The world we have thus inhabited is named "Middle Earth." I and the rest of the Elves have grown to love Middle-Earth, but just recently something very interesting appeared and gave us reason to consider leaving our homes. But I decided to make Middle-Earth the "Earth" and Valinor a kind of other worldly realm. students.ou.edu /R/Kyle.L.Raney-1/story4.html   (935 words)

Middle-earth Timeline The Dagor-nuin-Giliath ("Battle under the Stars") is fought against Morgoth and the elves are victorious, though Fëanor is slain and the Silmarils are not recovered. The "Unwilling" who stay behind become the "dark elves" (having never seen the light of the two trees they are considered lesser in wisdom than those that made the voyage). They are often found as nobility among other of the dark elves, including the King of the Wood Elves in Mirkwood, Legolas Greenleaf, and Celeborn, lord of Lóthlorien. www.infoplease.com /spot/lotr-timeline.html   (823 words)

Elenia: Middle-earth The true battle that decided the fate of Middle-earth was borne upon the plains there. Elves bear bows and arrows as their main weapon, for they do not relish the sight of their dying foes. Legolas is not from this land; he is from Mirkwood, where the elves of shadow live. www.angelfire.com /ego/elenia/middlearth.html   (616 words)

Encyclopedia of Arda: Middle-earth Debatable, but probably 'Earth in the Middle of the encircling seas All these kinds together are known as the Moriquendi, the Dark Elves, for they did not go to Valinor or see the light of the Two Trees.

Essay on Middle-earth Many Elves were captured and were cruely tortured and bred into twisted evil beings with no will of their own. After the Elves were brought into the world by Ilúvatar three great tribes moved to live in Valinor, the land of immortality, with Valar. What it was could not be seen: it was like a great shadow, in the middle of which was a dark form, of man-shape maybe yet greater; and a power and terror seemed to be in it and to go before it. hemsidor.torget.se /users/f/Finwe/sagovarld.htm   (9409 words)

Introduction to Middle Earth for LOTR movie Elves are the highest race of Middle Earth. But with that, the elves also know that their days in Middle Earth are numbered. Another point to note is that with the destruction of the Master Ring, the elven rings will also lose their power, so that is why the Elves will have to leave Middle Earth at the end of the tale. www.geocities.com /puayc/articles/tokien/introForMovie.html   (2952 words)

Elves Nonetheless there was less difference between the two Kindreds, Elves and Men, in early youth; and a man who watched elf-children at play might well have believed that they were the children of Men, of some fair and happy people. For in their early days elf-children delighted still in the world about them, and the fire of their spirit had not yet consumed them, and the burden of memory was still light upon them. They learned to speak before they were one year old; and in the same time they learned to walk and to dance, for their wills came soon to the mastery of their bodies. fan.theonering.net /middleearthtours/elves.html   (403 words)

Sword Forum International swordforum.com When I heard that he would be directing LotR, I suggested that each of the Middle Earth cultures should have its own idiosyncratic methods of fighting and of general movement as well. Given the richness of Tolkien's mythology, it would imply that each Middle Earth culture developed its own unique martial arts. As I recall, the image of the Elvish warriors performing a synchronised upward slash was partly to demonstrate the total contrast between the Elves and the Orcs - the former being magical, ultra-disciplined warriors and the latter being basically an insane rabble. swordforum.com /articles/ent/tonywolf.php   (814 words)

Encyclopedia of Arda: Elves of Middle-earth The Elves that dwelt in Middle-earth were, for the most part, those who did not start the Great Journey (the Avari), or those that fell away from it (the Silvan Elves, the Nandor and the Sindar). Of those Elves who left Middle-earth for Aman, many of the Noldor later returned, and there were still some few of this noble people to be found at the time of the War of the Ring.
