Dark Elves

In Middle-Earth the term Dark Elves refers to the Umanyar, those elves who have never seen the light of Aman, the peoples of the Nandor and Avari, the East-Elves or wild Elves.

The Sindar ore often considered neither Light Elves nor Dark Elves but Elves of Twilight.

Dark Elves should not be confused with Fallen Elves.
