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.
