NOLDOR
The division of the Elves that
followed Finwë as their lord. In the long march from Cuiviénen to
the western shores of
Middle-earth, they were second
great host. When they reached
Valinor, they learned much from
Aulë the Smith, and were accounted the greatest of the
Elves in matters of lore and
craft.
They dwelt in Aman for many Ages, but after the Darkening of Valinor many of the Noldor (S. Golodhrim) forsook the Undying Lands and followed Melkor to Middle-earth. Melkor had slain Finwë and stolen the Silmarils, the work of Fëanor, the greatest craftsman of that people, and the Noldor returned to make war on him until he gave up the Great Jewels.
