	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).
		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.
		The trip to Lórien furthers the perception that most Elves live in trees and carry bows, while we learn from Tolkien's other writings that his Elves were just as likely to live in caves (Nargothrond) or mountain fortresses (Gondolin), and the Ñoldor are more often known for their mighty swords.

	Sundering of the Elves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tolkien's legendarium, the Elves are a sundered people.
		They awoke at Cuivienen on the continent of Middle-earth (see: Awakening of the Elves), where they were divided into three tribes: the Vanyar, the Ñoldor, and the Teleri.
		That summons and the Great Journey that followed split the Elves into two main groups (and many minor ones), which were never fully reunited.

	History
		Thus were the Elves born from the blood of Corellon Larethian, mixed with the soil of the world, blessed with the tears of the moon, and given their nearness to divinity.
		Even though the summoned elves were a mix of clan elders and high mages and common elves, Elven court was always perceived and operated as a settlement of peers.
		The elves, weakened by the devastating battles with the dwarves, were unable to stem the tide of human encroachment and retreated to the only still purely Elven holding, The forests of Kael, and the city of Miryth Dragkor.

		Especially the Noldorin Elves possess skills and knowledge which to Men appear to be "magic." Their memories and dreams are as vivid as real life.
		It should be noted that Tolkien's Elves differ greatly from Elfs of older folklore, as well as most modern fantasy Elves: for example the now clichéd special affinity with nature and bows, as well as explicit references to "pointy ears", are not to be found in Tolkien's writings.
		However, by the Third Age (the time of The Lord of the Rings), the importance of Elves in affairs of the world is diminishing, and only a few of them are left in the refuges of Rivendell, Lothlórien;, and Mirkwood.

		They awoke at Cuivienen on the continent of Middle-earth (see: Awakening of the Elves), where they were divided into three tribes: the Vanyar, the Ñoldor, and the Lindar.
		The Elves (always pluralized as such, never Elfs) are one of the races that appear in the work of J. Tolkien.
		In J. Tolkiens Middle-earth, the Moriquendi (the Elves of Darkness, singular Moriquend) are, in essence, the Elves that did not join the Great Journey over the sea and behold the light of the Two Trees in Valinor.

	Science Fair Projects - Cuiviénen
		Its name (cuiviër+nen) means 'water of awakening,' and it is said to have been on the shore of a large gulf in the inland Sea of Helcar in the far east of Middle-earth.
		The Awakening of the Elves took place in very ancient times, during the Years of the Trees, and Cuiviénen is known to have been destroyed (perhaps by natural forces) since then.
		The first Sundering of the Elves took place when the Eldar departed from Cuiviénen to Valinor, leaving behind the Avari.

	Leonid Korablev -- The True lves of Europe
		In view of (relatively) abundant references to Elves in surviving ancient and medieval texts, modern connotations of the word 'elf' as well as 18th-19th century related folk-lore ideas appear as grotesque distortions of a waning tradition.
		It is clear that Tolkien widely used the elements of that tradition in creating his Elves; we maintain that besides being a marvelous achievement of a story-teller, Tolkien's Elves (Eldar, Quendi) were a (veiled) attempt of a scholar at reconstructing the tradition in question.
		In a few cases the Elves were identified with the souls of the dead (which may have arisen from the confusion between the old barrows and the hills in which the Elves were reputed to dwell [14].)

	* Evereska, Land of Elves *
		With the elves of Faerun currently in decline, it serves as the strongest elven community on the mainland, and a permanent home for those unwilling or unable to make the journey to Evermeet.
		Whatever the case, all Evereskan elves consider the waterfall and the tower sacrosanct and never attempt to climb or enter it.
		The waters of the pool, however, are highly valued, as they can purge any elf or half-elf of all wounds, curses, diseases, madness, and such if he or she merely bathes in the water during a full moon.

		When the elves first saw him, astride his great horse Nahar, many of the Quendi were afraid, and hid or fled.
		The majority of these elves were from the Teleri, who lingered on the road, not sure whether they wanted to leave the twilight of Middle-earth.

		It is also rumoured that some of the Elves were being captured by a Rider if they strayed too far, and as later turned out these were brought to Utumno and twisted into Orcs.
		At first the Elves were suspicious of him, fearing he was the Rider who captured the Elves, and because of the lies of Melkor.

		When the Elves received the summons, they were unwilling to leave their land for Aman; the only time they had ever seen the Valar (other than Oromë) was when they were going to war and were full of wrath.
		The journey was slow as the Elves were filled with wonder at all the wonders they passed, the many lands, hills and rivers, many places that looked like good places to live.
		Tolkien refers to the Elves that stayed in Middle-earth as unenlightened and in some way of lesser intelligence, stature and honor..."diminished" is a word he often uses.
