Race of
Elves
Throughout the ages, the deeds and
struggles of the noble race of Elves have been entwined
with the very history of Middle-earth. They remember
all too well the devastation caused by the tides of
evil that once darkened the land - a shadow which threatens
to do so once again. In ages past, the Elves divided
into many different groups, and settled throughout Middle-earth,
primarily in the ancient forested realms where they
yet live. Tall and strong, fair and graceful, Elves
have keen senses and a deep affinity for the beauty
of the natural world around them. Elves do not "die"
in the way understood by Men; Elves often live in the
lands of Middle-earth for thousands of years, suffering
neither the effects of time nor disease, though the
body of an Elf may be struck down in battle. At the
end of their days in Middle-earth, the Elves travel
to unknown realms across the western sea.
Long ago, the Elves welcomed the "younger"
races of Middle-earth and allied with them when the
need was great, but centuries of war, betrayal, and
hardship have made them fiercely protective of their
seclusion. Now, as the Third Age draws to a close and
the War of the Ring is at hand, the Elves are once again
stirring from their forested realms and hidden valleys,
allying with the Free Peoples of Middle-earth against
the darkness which grows from both the North and East.
