Edhel (Earth-4552)

The Elves were the first and oldest of the Children of Ilúvatar and are considered to be the fairest and wisest race given sapience by Eru Ilúvatar and inhabit Arda.

Background
The Elves were the first children of Eru, the One, whom they called Ilúvatar. The Elves are not subject to disease or physical aging, though they could be killed by violence or by wasting away and losing the will to live. They were otherwise essentially immortal. When harmed or injured, their blood is revealed to be silver. In their overwal appearance, they looked pretty much like a normal Men, but possessed longer hair, almost universally bright eyes and pointy ears.

Some, known afterward as the Calaquendi (elves of the light), were brought by the Valar from Middle-Earth to Valinor across the Narrow Sea, where they were taught by the Ainur. But after the Silmarils were stolen by Melkor, some of the Elves returned to Middle-Earth, where they remained until the end of the Third Age.
