 Wild elves are fond of wild animals as most elves are, and try to live in harmony with them, keeping some of them (even larger "dire" animals) as guardians. The rare tools they use regularly are naturally non-metallic and designed to be assembled or deconstructed at a moment's notice; they often have a "crude" aesthetic as a result, but are excellently-crafted and effective. Wild elves that leave their remote homelands for adventure are especially drawn to careers requiring physical strength: wild elf rangers and barbarians are particularly common, and even wild elf fighters are not unheard of. Having long abandoned magical tradition, wild elves rarely craft magical weapons, but are not especially averse to arcane magic like wood elves, even as they ultimately tend towards druidism or shamanism.

-After many years Atyamar was befell by terrible weather, and most of the Elves resumed their journey westwards, crossing both the Anduin river and the Misty Mountains. Many of the Teleri were fearful and remained behind, becoming the Nandor, and a second Sundering would occur when these Nandor split further: some hid themselves in the woodlands of Anduin and became Silvan Elves (or wood elves) - others continued on to settle their own dwellings at the Anduin river's delta, or else passed by the White Mountains into the wilderness of Eriador. Eventually, those Nandor that had journeyed onward reached the Sindar (or [[Grey-elf]]) forest kingdom of Doriath where they were welcomed by King Thingol as long-lost kin and given the lands of Ossiriand to settle; they named the land Lindon and became the Laegrim (Sindarin for "Green-Elves"), named for their leaf-colored clothing. The peace that came was not to last, however: Morgoth and his armies of orcs and other underlings invaded King Thingol and his allies, with Thingol calling the Green-Elf leader Denethor to his aid.

 The Green-elf is derived from [[J.R.R.
