{{Pronounce|Eldar.mp3|Ardamir}}
The name given to the [[Elves]] (and the term West Elves may also apply to these kindred) by the [[Valar|Vala]] [[Oromë]] when he first found them wandering in the starlight of [[Cuiviénen]]. At first, the name was applied to all [[Elves]], but after the summons of the [[Valar]], it came to be used only of the peoples who followed the summons and began the [[Great Journey]].

The [[Three Kindreds]] of the Eldar were the [[Vanyar]], the [[Noldor]] and the [[Teleri]]. All of the Vanyar and Noldor went to [[Aman]] (though many of the Noldor later returned to [[Middle-earth]] with [[Fëanor]]).

Many of the Teleri also journeyed to Valinor, but twice a host of this people turned away from the Journey in Middle-earth; these two kindreds are called [[Úmanyar]], the Eldar not of Aman. The first of these were the [[Nandor]], who turned aside east of the [[Misty Mountains]], and travelled down the River Anduin. The second, the [[Sindar]], tarried in [[Beleriand]] seeking their lord, [[Elwë Singollo]].

Half Orcs

Among the [[Dunlendings]] who, in the Third Age of Sun, came to Saruman's banner of the [[White Hand]] in [[Isengard]], there some whose blood, by the sorcery of [[Saruman]], became mixed with that of the [[Orcs]] and [[Uruk-hai]]. These were large Men, lynx-eyed and evil, who were called Half-Orcs. Many were counted among the strongest servants of [[Saruman]]. The Half-Orcs mostly perished at [[the Battle of Hornburg]], either before the fortress walls or in the Huorn forest. Yet some lived beyond that day of doom and followed [[Saruman]] into exile, even to the [[Hobbit]] lands of [[the Shire]], where they served the fallen [[Wizard]] until his last breath.
