The Deep Elves, the second kindred of the Eldar who journeyed to Valinor. The Noldor are the most skilled of the Elves in craftsmanship and lore, and the most ambitious. Led by Feanor, many of the Noldor returned to Middle-earth in pursuit of Morgoth and the stolen Silmarils, bringing great knowledge but also the curse of the Kinslaying. Famous Noldor include Galadriel, Elrond (who is half-Noldorin), Gil-galad, and the smiths who forged the Rings of Power.
