But Sauron again returned, for his death was not final. We built for him the White Towers on the borders of Lindon and kept it under the guardianship of Círdan. When he escaped the wreck of the West on his tattered ships, we received Elendil Voronwë. Great waves shattered the coasts of Lindon, and many fair houses were sundered.

Little was known to us of the strife in Númenor until it was too late for us to intervene. But we knew that the Darkness had returned to the world, all our struggles without victory and many of our kin fled into the west, to Aman under the guardianship of the Valar.
LORD OF RINGS ELVES FREE
Sauron fled from that war with nought but a bodyguard, and in his absence, the power of Gil-galad waxed, until it was greatest of all the free kingdoms of Middle-earth. The valour of Men, great in those days, cast back Sauron's host and embattled him at Tharbad. The host of Lindon defended the Grey Havens desperately until the fleet of Númenor arrived. And Sauron's power was spread from coast to coast, but he could not yet enter Lindon, or cross the River Lhûn. Elrond fled north and was besieged in a valley that would later become known as Imladris. Thus fell Ost-in-Edhil, with all its beauty, knowledge, and crafts, and its fair houses and smithies. 1695 Sauron came out of Calenardhon, and he attacked Eregion and destroyed it. Elrond with a host of the Elves of Lindon was sent to Eregion, but it was not enough. Gil-galad, hearing of the betrayal from Celebrimbor, sent messages to Númenor with pleas for aid, for Lindon and Númenor had established tides to contain the Shadow of the East long ago. But alas! We could not bring ourselves to destroy our rings, for our crest had not yet fallen and our vanity was still great. Yet as the Dark Lord upheld his Ring and his victory waxed, Celebrimbor heard his gloating words, and we knew we had been betrayed. He taught Celebrimbor and the Gwaith-i-Mírdain of ring-lore, which would create, he said, realms to emulate Valinor. And so Sauron exploited their desire to preserve the lands from decay, which we in our arrogance believed we could stem. The Ñoldor of Eregion were of a kind suited to science and technology, and they thirsted relentlessly for knowledge. But Gil-galad did not trust him, for those among us who remembered Valinor said that this Aulendil had not been in the train of Aulë in Valinor. 1200 he approached Lindon, under the disguise of one Aulendil.

However, Sauron was aware of us, and begrudged us our peace. In the West, Círdan the Shipwright and his people, the Falathrim of Beleriand, founded the twin havens of Mithlond. That realm grew great in the skill of crafts, for they had an alliance with the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm. 700, many of the Ñoldor, led by Celeborn and with Celebrimbor and Galadriel, moved eastwards, and colonized Eregion on the slopes of the Misty Mountains. The realm encompassed the entirety of western Eriador beyond the Lune, and fair were our days in the green lands of the kindly West. The Sindarin lords, Celeborn their chief, settled in Harlond with a following of Sindar. Gil-galad made his capital at Forlond, with many Ñoldor and his herald Elrond.

Our fair realm, Lindon, was founded at the beginning of the Second Age by Gil-galad, last High King of the Ñoldor in Middle-earth. The people of the High Elves are separated into two sub-factions: the Elves of Lindon, under Lord Círdan the Shipwright, and the Elves of Rivendell, under Master Elrond Half-elven. And through countless years they have seen all their valour and forlorn deeds wrested into the endless dusk in which they now abide. Throughout the Second and Third Ages, many of their people have left Middle-earth and returned to their home of Eldamar, in the Undying Lands beyond the Sea. They reside in Lindon and Rivendell, two of the few remaining safe-havens for their kind. The High Elves are the most powerful and wise of Elves in Middle-earth, having seen the Light of the Two Trees, and having studied under the Valar.
LORD OF RINGS ELVES SKIN
They were tall, fair of skin and grey-eyed, though their locks were dark, save in the golden house of Finarfin and their voices had more melodies than any mortal voice that now is heard. were a race high and beautiful, the older Children of the world, and among them the Eldar were as kings, who now are gone: the People of the Great Journey, the People of the Stars.
