MUME Dictionary
EDHEL, GREY-ELVES, SINDAR
An Elvish people of Telerin origin. Coming to the western
shores of Middle-earth with the others of their kin,
they did not pass across the sea, but remained in Beleriand. Some had tarried
there searching for their lord, Elwë, while others were persuaded to
remain by Ossë the Maia.
Before the return of the Noldor to Middle-earth, the Sindar (S. Edhel) were found in most parts of Beleriand, all claimed Elwë (known as Thingol in the Sindarin tongue) as their high king. There were two main countries of the Sindar, however. In Doriath under the rule of Thingol and Melian, and in the Falas, under the lordship of Círdan the Shipwright.
