Sindar

Sindar (meaning "Grey People") or Grey Elves were Elves of Telerin descent who inhabited Beleriand. They were united under Elu Thingol, the King of Doriath, and later his grandson Dior Eluchíl.

They belonged to the Teleri, who accepted the invitation of the Valar and set out on the Great Journey towards Valinor, being counted amongst the Eldar, although they were also counted amongst the Moriquendi, for they never actually set foot in Valinor before the destruction of the Two Trees as the Calaquendi did, setting in the lands of Beleriand.

However, they still became the fairest and most wise and skillful of the elves of Middle-earth under the rule of Thingol and Melian in Doriath, and they are therefore sometimes referred to as "Elves of the Twilight".
