DARK ELF
When Melian set her Girdle around the land of Doriath, Thingol's kinsman
Eöl left that land, and dwelt instead in the forest of Nan Elmoth. Living
under the dark shadows of that ancient forest, and preferring the night to the
day, he came to be widely known as the Dark Elf.
Eöl's epithet was no doubt influenced by the fact that the Sindarin Elves to whom he belonged were of the Moriquendi, the Dark Elves.
