The many races of Elves

[CirdanCuthalion]

There are several races of Elves as many of you may or may not know, I'll list the ones that I know, feel free to add bits and peices of the different races, and what you know about them:

Elves that dwelt in Beleriand:
Sindar (the grey elves)
Nandor
Laiquendi (green elves)
Noldor (under Finrod)

The Elves that made the Great Journey and dwelt elsewhere:
Eldar (the high elves)
Vanyar
Teleri
Calaquendi
Unmanyar
Silvan (wood elves... what my character is)

Elves that did not make the Great Journey:
Moriquendi (the dark elves)
Avari (the unwilling... those elves from several different races that refused, or rejected the Great Journey)

Those are the different races of Elves that I know of. For more, in depth information about those races, check out J.R.R.Tolkien's book "The Silmarillion"
Enjoy!
