 Grey elves are derived from ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', and are somewhat based on the Grey Elves (or Sindar) of [[J.R.R. Tolkien]]'s [[Wikipedia:Tolkien's legendarium|legendarium]]. A sub-type of high elf introduced in ''Greyhawk'', grey elves are not to be confused with moon elves (or silver elves), the most common subtype of elf and one for whom being called "gray" by another elf was a huge insult. Grey elves have tall, slim builds and often have pale grey skin, silvery hair, and amber-like eyes; some grey elves known as "faeries" have pale-golden hair and violet eyes.
-Grey elves tend to be highly intelligent, to the point they are sometimes considered the most intelligent among elves - their society values scholarly pursuits accordingly over physical ability. Grey elves spending much of their lives studying, while elves of other races act as servants for menial and physical labor. Like many elven societies, they are heavily secluded: they live in large citadels and isolated meadowlands that are typically hidden by powerful magic to ensure only other elves can find them; only a select few outsiders, such as very powerful mages and wizards, are even allowed entry, and these visitors are still treated with great suspicion.

 Grey elf society almost always takes the form of a very rigid hereditary monarchy with a caste system, and they are naturally highly intolerant of other races, to the point they fear their bloodlines being "tainted" by unions with shorter-lived beings. Grey elves are a very arrogant people that believe themselves the purest form of elf - superior to both non-elven races and even other elves - and almost never associate with non-elven humanoids. Conversely, other elven folk highly disdain grey elven arrogance and their treatment of elven servants, often making unfavorable comparisons to the lifestyles of humans or dwarves.
-Grey elven craftsmen specialize in spellbooks and scrolls, and are capable of making powerful magic items that could hold the strongest of enchantments and had charms that made them more receptive to enhancing magic - this is most likely the basis for elven armor in ''NetHack'' being safe to [[Scroll of enchant armor|enchant]] from +5. Grey elven armor often consists of winged helmets with shimmering suits of plate mail or chain mail, particularly elven chain mail; their weaponry includes bows, spears, swords, and two-handed swords. Despite this selection of weaponry, grey elves often take up mage professions with little relative specialization; those that do specialize tend to become bladesingers (which blended swordsmanship with arcane magic) or spellfilchers (essentially a form of mage-thief).

-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 of the passage and remained behind, becoming the Nandor from which the Silvan Elves and Laequendi (or wood and Green Elves) descended; the remaining Teleri pressed on past the Misty Mountains and reached Eastern Beleriand near the river Gelion. While wandering in the forest of Nan Elmoth, a Teleri ambassador named Elwë encountered Melian, one of the Maiar - the two fell in love and stood spellbound in Nan Elmoth for several years. Olwë, another Teleri ambassador, searched for Elwë for years before he could not delay any longer, and departed for Aman; Elwë's following, especially his friends and close relatives, preferred to stay in Beleriand to search for their king. When Elwë and Melian finally awoke from the spell, they returned to unit the Teleri that had remained behind with the ones who had settled among the sea shores into a collective folk known as the Sindar, or Grey-elves.
