About Elves
Rivendell
Lothlorien
Grey Havens
Clothes of the Elves

Elves are often taller then Men. Elves are described as being noble and elegant. They are immortal unless they are slain, die from grief or a broken heart. They cannot age or get diseases. If Elves die they go to the Halls of Mandos.
They have a love for nature, and to other persons they're like angels. Many of the Elves in Middle-Earth are leaving to go to the Grey havens-which only they know how to get to, and no-one else can go there unless they are with elves. The Grey Havens is an immortal land-until the Earth dies, but the elves are safe there.

Rivendell

This is the Elven place which Elrond found. Rivendell is called Imladris by the Elves although in the film Elrond says “welcome to Rivendell” -i think he says this so people who haven’t read lotr don’t get confused. Rivendell is situated in the valley of the misty mountains.
The sword Narsil stayed in Imladris until Aragorn reclaimed the throne of Gondor. The heirs of Isildur lived in Rivendell.
Imladris is a refugee for the weary and the oppressed. In Rivendell there are some of Saurons chief foes they are:
The Elven wise
Lords of the Eldar
Power to with stand Mordor.

Lothlorien

This is one of the places where the Elves live, it is home to the guardians of Lorien the Noldor Queen Galadriel and Sindar King Celeborn. It is found in the Golden Wood east of the Misty Mountains (near the gates of Moria). Galadriel has one of the three Elven rings, Nenya the ring of Adamant and of water. She used Nenya to protect Lothlorien from evil such as Orcs.

Grey havens

This is the place for Elves to go after they want to leave Middle-earth. In the Grey havens otherwise known as the Undying Lands is where only Elves can go (NoTe- there have been a few exceptions like the ring bearers and also Gimli is another exception) The Undying Lands used to be in Middle-earth until Manwe moved it out of Middle-earth so only Elves would know how to get to it, and they could only get their on Elven ships. Cirdan was the keeper of the Grey Havens throughout the second and third age.

Clothes of the Elves

Elves wear natural colours like white, blue, green and brown. White represents purity, goodness and is very angelic. Blue represents the sea or water. Blue is cool and calm like the sea also. The Lorien elves wear whites and blues this shows that their history has great depth to it that they are at one with natural and seeing that Galadriel is the bearer of the Ring of Water, Nenya, this may also be reasons for why the Lorien elves wear watery colours. The whole atmosphere of Lothlorien is represented in the film as blue and other simple colours this shows that the Lorien Elves live very simple, natural lives.

The Rivendell elves wear more of a variety of colours. The Rivendell Elves change their colours depending on the seasons, as we see from the film that it is autumn so many of the colours are brown, yellow, orange which all are linked with autumn.
