Elves: Arda (Middle-earth & Valinor)

A compendium to the Arda elves for adding a lore friendly layer into the roleplay. The details are for the most part supported by the canonical sources. The goal is to outline the elves' biology, cultural characteristics, family trees, timelines (Ages) and simple maps in as much detail as possible, yet in a concise manner. If it works as intended then it's good enough to create an RPG supporting environment and able to tell the current events and people of interest by the given Age (see the entry “Units of Time” to see how), year and location in the scenario. For the individual xouls, original or the ones based on canon (which are many), still might need additional details in the description.
