Ugh! This is too involved and the thing is, no matter which point you argue, you're always at least half-right. I think the problem is that High-elves had a specific definition before the Great Journey and then a revised one after resulting in some confusion over what qualifies. Same goes for Dark-elves.
Someone needs to do a "Lines of Descent" that gives the title (High-elf, Grey-elf, etc.) along with the names. This is way too much contradictory info. to keep in my poor head! I can barely keep my brain from rolling out my ears the way it is!!
Lindil, if you could whip up something like that and send me a copy, I will bow down to your superior Elf knowledge! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] (Hmmm...does that sound like a challenge?)
