Arvegil145 has just left Hobbiton.
I take back my previous comments about the inclusion of Nuin, etc. due to these two pieces from NoME:

Quote:
But Elves when discovered in 1085 were already a people, though appear never yet to have met Men, who awoke much further east.
- NoME, 'The Awaking of the Quendi', p. 39

plus this:

Quote:
Then some date before the Arising of Men would be best, but not very long (in Elvish terms) before, for the Finding. At that time, though fairly numerous (?some thousands), they had not spread far abroad— ? fear of Melkor, Sauron, &c.; and do not seem ever to have met Men (though they had almost certainly heard lies about them from emissaries of Melkor).
- NoME, 'The Awaking of the Quendi', p. 35
