Moriquendi

			Quendi (All Elves)
	Eldar
Vanyar	Noldor	Teleri
	Falmari	Sindar	Nandor		Avari

The main branches of the Moriquendi or Dark Elves are shown here in bold text. In addition to the Avari who refused the summons of the Valar, at least two divisions of the Teleri also remained in Middle-earth: the Sindar and the Nandor.

Called the Dark Elves, those of the Elves who never saw the light of the Two Trees of Valinor, including the Avari, the Nandor and the Sindar. The Sindarin king Elu Thingol, however, was not accounted among the Moriquendi, as he had travelled to Valinor before returning to Middle-earth.
