The Moriquendi

[Nerwen]

Probably not, as Tolkien mostly uses the term to refer to whole peoples– the Noldor are Calaquendi, the Sindar are Moriquendi, etc– with Thingol being an individual exception.

But that's beside the point in the case of Legolas. He's a Dark Elf, like his father and grandfather before him.

So... you're a bit of a
Necromancer, huh?

*shrugs* I suppose it's appropriate to this fandom...

I had a question about Lake Cuivenen; were is it? I've read the Silmarillian, but I never could figure out were it is. Is it east of the Sea of Rhun?

As a side inquery, the Blue Wizards, what ever became of them? If they settled down and married, the Fourth Age would see a blossuming of the arts of magic.

A friend of mine was working on a story set in the Fourth Age, long after the reign of Elessar the Great (the only king who should be named Elessar). We had Elves still in Lothlorien, Mirkwood, Rivendell and the Grey Havens, along with Ithillian. Gunpowder is now no longer a secret known only to wizards, now Gondor and others have it, but in amounts that are low. Think the 1400's and 1500's in Europe, plate armor is still common and gunpowder is on the way in. His story also featured the return of Morgoth.

I ramble...................

Yes, you do.

You should have started a new thread for this, but anyway–

1. Cuiviénen no longer exists by the Third Age.

In the changes of the world the shapes of lands and of seas have been broken and remade; rivers have not kept their courses, neither have mountains remained steadfast; and to Cuiviénen there is no returning.

-The Silmarillion, "Of the Coming of the Elves".


2. What became of the Blue Wizards? Nobody knows... not even the author.

...and whether they remained in the East, pursuing there the purposes for which they were sent; or perished; or as some hold were ensnared by Sauron and became his servants, is not now known.

–Unfinished Tales, "The Istari".

Cuivienen was north and further east of Rhun along the eastern slopes of the Orocarni Mountains.

According to the apocryphal writings of Tolkien, Morgoth will not return until the very end of the world.

According to the Silmarillion, all Elves who did not reach Aman were Moriquendi. If, however, a Noldor of Aman had children within Middle-earth, then the Calaquendi title was conferred upon them, or at least the powerful traits of these Elves were the same (like Celebrimbor, for instance). There's a handy Elvish family tree in the glossary of the Sil which breaks it down.
