Which of the 3 types of Tolkien Elves are you?

[Archbob]

So for true Tolkien fans that have read the Simarillion, you know there are 3 main types of Elves.

1. Vanyar - The fewest in number but the first to follow into the blessed land and the Closest to the grace of the Valar. Their Lord Ingwe is high lord of all the Elves.

2. Noldar - Probably the most powerful elves in Body and Mind, but also more quick to anger and sometimes Rash in decision. Many of the Noldar rebellion and had an Exodus back into Middle-Earth at the beginning of the first age. Elrond, Galadrial, etc are all considered part of this race.

3. Teleri - The bulk of the Elves population. Considered by Melkor Weak and useless but pure at heart and are the elves that build ships in the white havens of Valinor.

What about the elves that never went west and stayed in middle earth proper? I think you forgot them.

The Sindar? The belong to the Teleri, IIRC.

edit: oh wait, that's not the ones who stayed in middle-earth either

I tried to read the Silmarillion but got bored hafway through the third chapter. Are there any 'dark' elves or ones that went eat through the land of he easterlings?

 

[Archbob]

Technically the Avari would be part of the Teleri, just kind of dark and sometimes evil, I didn't include them.

I was a human the last time I checked

When I see how seriously people take the fantasy stuff, I am afraid that advancements in genetics will inevitably lead to a genuine elven race being created by Tolkien-fans...

 

[MobBoss]

Ah, the ones I was thinking of were the Sindar, but they are a subset of the Teleri.

Here is a good site that explains it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sundering_of_the_Elves

Probably Noldar. I'm a bit hot headed and rash at times.

What are Noldar?

The lost cousins of the Sindors?

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Hmm, weak and useless but pure in heart? Yeah, that's how I see myself. I guess I am Teleri - except that I hate the ocean.

 

[Swedishguy]

A more important question is what kind of hobbits we are.

 

[brennan]

You spelt Noldor wrong.

The elves that never went to the West were called the Moriquendi or 'Dark Elves' as they never saw the light of the trees. /LOTR geek

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

But that includes both Sindar - Teleri who started on the journey but ended up not going - and Avari - who never heeded the call of the Valar in the first place.

I am drow.I hate all elves except drows,halfdrows and draegloths.

Yes.

 

[bhsup]

It's not only the TYPE that is a biggie with me, but which one. I, myself, am actually Ingwe, so all you other suckers can just bow down right now and kiss my big toe.

By extension, obviously, I am Vanyar.

 

[Bill3000]

Noldor FTW!

 

[Mirc]

Same. Noldor probably.
