Calaquendi

The Calaquendi (singular Calaquendë) were the Elves of the Light or Light-elves, those that reached Valinor and beheld the light of the Two Trees.

Distinction

Calaquendi included the Vanyar, Ñoldor, and Falmari, as well as the Sindarin king Thingol; although none of his subjects were. The kindreds who settled in Aman and their descendants were also referred to as High Elves, or Tareldar, especially by mortals. The Elves who had refused the summons of the Valar or did not complete the Great Journey to Valinor were named instead Moriquendi, or "Dark Elves" (those who had not seen the Light).

Another name for them was Amanyar (Quenya for 'Those of Aman') as opposed to the two groups of Moriquendi, the Úmanyar, "Not of Aman", and the Avamanyar, "Those who would not go to Aman".

After the exile of the Ñoldor some of the High Elves come back to Middle-earth. However, they always longed to return to the Undying Lands, and most had sailed from the Grey Havens by the time of The Lord of the Rings.
