When Did Elves Come To Middle Earth And Why?
Elves are one of the most powerful races in middle earth. They are immortal and highly skilled in archery; elves are also the most beautiful-looking race in the known world.
The Firstborn, the Elder Children of Ilúvatar, were conceived by Eru Ilúvatar alone in the third theme of Ainulindalë. The elves awoke at Cuiviénen in the far east of Middle-earth.
Their creation took place even before the Sun and Moon. The first three elves to be awakened were Imin (“First”) and his wife Iminyë, Tata (“Second”), Tatië, Enel (“Third”), and Enelyë.
All of them walked towards the forest and came across several other pairs of elves. Slowly, they invented poetry and music in Middle-earth. Over the years, they also developed speech with words.

Who Is Galadriel In ‘The Rings Of Power’?
Galadriel is one of the most prominent characters in J.R.R. Tolkien’s apprendices. She was a royal elf of both the Noldor and the Teleri, and the grandchild of both King Finwë and King Olwë.
The Elven warrior always believes that evil is returning to Middle-earth. She is known for her beauty and great fighting skills.
Once close kin of King Ingwë of the Vanyar, Galadriel is a strong warrior of “Amazon disposition”. She was the leader during the rebellion of the Noldor.
Galadriel was also present in their flight from Valinor during the First Age. In the second age, she traveled to Lindon with her husband Celeborn to rule over a group of Elves, as a fiefdom. They later shifted to a different region. When the Rings of Power were forged, Galadriel left for Lórien through the gates of Moria after distrusting Annatar. In the third age, her renunciation of power resulted in the lifting of a personal ban from Valinor.
