The Moriquendi are the elves who never saw the Two Trees' light (hence their name of course, elves of darkness). I believe the story goes that when the first elves awoke at Cuivenen (sorry forgot spelling), the Valar summoned them to Valinor. Unfortunately Melkor (who found out first about their awakening) was able to waylay some, sowing terror. (From this tale, it was said that Melkor corrupted some captured elves and they became orcs, nemesis to the elves).
That's way some elves did not heed the call and never came to Valinor.
From the Moriquendi branched the Avari (the "Unwilling"), the Nandor, among several.
There's a chart in the index of the Sil that shows their sundering. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Hey, your RPG sounds interesting, will it be in BD or another site? Can I join in once it you've got it all together? I am trying to come up with one with Beleriand as the setting after the exile... kinda stuck still actually [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]
