teleri

One of the things that really turned the Valar against them was the first kinslaying over the boats. But what if the Teleri or whatever they're called had simply agreed to give them some boats to get the Simarils back?

It was once prophesised by the Vala Námo that a certain apparent Maia, who once served all 14 Valar and took on the form of a Teleri Elf, would fall from the grace of the Valar and the Calaquendi alike, and would dwell with Melkor and Annatar ere Dagor Dagorath. Most of the prophecy had been...

It seems that once the Elves got so far in their geneologies, it was no longer so clear as to who was of which clan (with all the mixing and inter-marrying going on). However, was it ever explicitely stated to which Elrond belonged? On his father's side, there is certainly much Noldorin blood...
