SINDAR

From the dark forges of Nan Elmoth emerged a black blade of meteoric iron, wielded by both Elves and Men, that spoke with a malevolent will of its own. This sentient weapon, forged by the Dark Elf's craftsmanship, would pass from Thingol's armory to Beleg Cúthalion's hands, and ultimately play a cruel role in the tragic tale of Túrin Turambar in the First Age of Middle-earth.

Among the ancient Teleri who awoke at Cuiviénen stands a bearded Elf-lord whose wisdom spans three ages of Arda. From the havens of Falas to the Grey Havens of Lindon, this master shipwright has guided countless vessels to the Undying Lands, bearing one of the Three Rings of Power and serving as guardian of the western shores. His silver hair and far-seeing eyes have witnessed the rise and fall of kingdoms, from the First Age battles against Morgoth to the final departure of the Ring-bearers at the close of the Third Age.

Rivers of flame erupted from Thangorodrim's peaks as Morgoth shattered the long peace of Beleriand. In one catastrophic assault, the Dark Lord's armies of Balrogs, dragons, and countless Orcs overwhelmed the forces of the Noldor, transforming the green plains of Ard-galen into the charred wasteland of Anfauglith. This devastating battle marked the end of the Siege of Angband and forever changed the fate of the Elves in Middle-earth.

Before the Sun first rose in the skies of Middle-earth, the armies of the Dark Lord Morgoth poured forth from Angband, clashing with the Sindar Elves under King Thingol in the forests and plains of East Beleriand. This devastating conflict saw Orcs and evil creatures face the swift arrows of the Grey-elves, while Denethor's Green-elves of Ossiriand rushed to aid their kin, marking the first great struggle between the forces of light and darkness in the First Age.

The greatest of all Elven maidens, daughter of a Maia and an Elven king, danced beneath the ancient trees of Middle-earth and sang with such power that she could shake the very foundations of Angband. For the love of a mortal man, she challenged the Dark Lord Morgoth himself, stole a Silmaril from his iron crown, and ultimately chose mortality over her immortal life – becoming the only Elf in history to truly escape the bounds of fate.

Deep in the shadowy depths of Mirkwood dwelt a powerful Sindarin lord, father of Legolas, whose halls of stone rivaled the grandeur of the dwarven kingdoms. This ancient ruler of the Woodland Realm, crowned with leaves and berries, wielded both diplomatic cunning and military might while protecting his people from the growing darkness of Middle-earth's Third Age.
