Note
While the term 'Wood-elves' might be taken as a synonym for 'Silvan Elves', and in fact has the same derivation, it seems in practice to be used by Tolkien almost exclusively of the Elves of Mirkwood; for this reason, this entry concentrates on that culture: for more details of the Silvan people in general, refer to the entry for Silvan Elves
