The purpose of the elves was to nurture the earth and foster it's beauty.This was the good purpose.The other purpose, the one they chose to forget,was to gradually fade and make way for the "Followers", or the race of Men. The purpose of Men was to "follow" the Firstborn, and to eventually take over and grow. Although the race of Man appears at first to be a weak and pathetic imitation of the Eldar, Iluvatar had a special plan in mind when he designed it and held a place in his heart for it.
