Vanyar
The People of Ingwë
The first of the Elves to make the great march westwards from Cuiviénen to Valinor, and accounted the highest of the High Elves. Their leader, Ingwë, bears the title High King of the Elves, and dwells on Taniquetil beneath the halls of Manwë.
All of the Vanyar journeyed to Valinor long before the first rising of the Sun, and remained there. For this reason, they are not mentioned often in the histories of Middle-earth.
