Kwende1

Kwênde was the most archaic name known for the few clans of elves who wandered the New Lands.Their origins are believed to have been wandering families of Avari who had fled Middle-earth since the First Age but the mortals who arrived later knew them by many different monikers such as "First people", "Long-ears", "Owners of the earth", "Sky spirits", "Star people", "pale brothers" and others.

They were never many and did not build large realms or fortresses, but there was some talk of one "Land without evil", presumably the last elven realm of the New lands, though it's exact location was unknown. Most were wanderers in the wilds, friends of animals, especially harts and deer and lived in the forests or mountain lands, mostly as hunter-gatherers ,though some also were growers, especially of special magical elven corn.
