	Encyclopedia of Arda: Elves
		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.
		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.
		Elves also have far clearer sight and perception than Men; they are naturally aware of many things that are hidden from the Younger Children, but these gifts are not without limit.

	[ Daily Tolkien ] The Wild, Wild, Wood-elf West
		After the War of the Elves and Sauron many of the Eldar fled Middle-earth, and by the end of the Second Age Lothlorien's warriors were so poorly equipped and armored compared to the Eldar of Lindon and Eriador that many of them were slaughtered in battle with the Orcs.
		The writer also speculates that the Silvan Elves were part of the "Nelyarin Avari which made as far west as Anduin, and there they mingled or supplanted the Nandor who were still living in Greenwood and Lothloren".
		The history of the Eastern Elves is primarily that of the Umanyar and those of the Eldar who returned in pursuit of the Silmaril.

	The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum - What race was Legolas?
		Silvan is actually an old word that has fallen from use (I think it was Anglo in origin, but can't be sure) that was a term for a woodland creature.
		Silvan elves are not one of the 3 kindreds that are existent in the Eldar.
		The Silvan culture had developed into its own, and one born to Silvan parents would be of Silvan blood because of the disappearance of distinctive communities based on specific kindreds of past ages - that's the point.

		The Silvan Elves, probably mixed with Avari Elves, had already established a small settlement there when Oropher at the beginning of the Second Age came to the forest, accompanied by Sindarin Elves, with his son Thranduil, whose date of birth is unknown.
		The Sindarin Elves were more noble and refined than the somewhat rustic Silvan Elves, and naturally they became leaders of the realm, just as in Lothlórien.
		The Third Age was quiet for the Elves of Greenwood, but the evil fortress of Dol Guldur, which arose in the first millennium of the age, polluted their southern borders and remained a constant threat.

		The armies of the Silvan Elves are not numerous but they are effective, possessing fine-quality weapons and superb leaders.

		The Sindar are associated with Beleriand, whereas the Silvan Elves are associated with the forests east of the Misty Mountains.
		It seems to me that the Silvan elves of the 2nd-3rd Ages would have to be either Nandor who remained there during the Journey, Laiquendi who fled back East late in the Beleriand Wars, or Avari, or perhaps combinations of the three.
		The Silvan Elves (Tarwarwaith) were in origin Teleri, and so remoter kin of the Sindar, though even longer separated from them than the Teleri of Valinor.

		They wished indeed to become Silvan folk and to return; as they said to the simple life natural to the Elves before the invitation of the Valar had disturbed it.
		But the Elves of this land were of a race strange to us of the silvan folk, and the trees and the grass do not now remember them.
		By the end of the Third Age the Silvan tongues had probably ceased to be spoken in the two regions that had importance at the time of the War of the Ring: Lórien and the realm of Thranduil in northern Mirkwood.

	Nandorin
		Concerning the relationship between the Green-elven and Grey-elven tongues, it is stated that "although the dialects of the Silvan Elves, when they again met their long separated kindred, had so far diverged from Sindarin as to be hardly intelligible, little study was needed to reveal their kinship as Eldarin tongues" (UT:257).
		Wrote Tolkien, "Though the comparison of the Silvan dialects with their own speech greatly interested the loremasters, especially those of Noldorin origin, little is now known of the Silvan Elvish.
		Yet Sindarin somehow sneaked into even the Silvan communities: "By the end of the Third Age, the Silvan tongues had probably ceased to be spoken in the two regions that had importance at the time of the War of the Ring: Lórien and the realm of Thranduil in northern Mirkwood.

		Glorfindel and other Elves of great renown attended the Council of Elrond, yet it was appointed to Legolas to represent the race of Lúthien and Thingol, Galadriel and Fëanor, in the Fellowship of the Ring.
		The Silvan elves took horrible losses, for the same reasons as the Green-elves in the First Age: they were ill-equipped compared to the other elves, used very little metal, and wore no more armor than Legolas.
		Legolas' grace, his singing, his emotional and poetic language, Tolkien's early conceptions of Elves as fairies, and popular impressions about elves in general have given many readers the impression that he is a bit of a lightweight.

		In Lorien, the Silvan elves are led by Galadriel (noldor) and Celeborn (sindar).
		The Sindarin Elves are sometimes called Elves of the Twilight, because they have not seen the Light of the Trees in Valinor like the rest of the Eldar, but neither did they refuse to go at all, like the Avari.

		Yes, the Eldar were primarily in Lindon adn Eregion; the Silvans populated the rest of Eriador and Rhovanion.
		By joining the Silvan elves they were giving up their status as 'refusers'.
		And I'd argue that the very concept of 'Silvan' elves was born out of the extensive reference to 'Wood' elves in 'The Hobbit'.
