silvan elves with sharp teeth

silvan elves able to see in the dark

silvan elves that communicate in bird sounds and trills and tongue-clicking

silvan elves with dark skin so they can hide between foliage better

silvan elves who never met the ainur and as such properly worship them

devoted to nessa and yavanna and orome

silvan elves that literally talk to trees

silvan elves that paint their faces so they’re completely invisible when they want to

silvan elves who went south instead of west and now inhabit the forests of Harad

silvan elves that may not know how to write, but who knows the name of every stream, rock and valley in the area

Silvan elves who don’t worship the Valar because the Valar basically abandoned them when they didn’t want to come to Valinor.

Silvan elves who kicked Melkor’s ass in countless wars in the east and took on Ungoliant in the south, and whose deeds are remembered in epic song-cycles twenty times longer than Rumil and Pengolodh’s little pamphlets.
