� Elves are immortal and do not physically age
� Elves do not grow weak as they age, only wiser and more beautiful
� Elves have more beauty than any creatures on earth, but also possess the most extreme happiness and sorrow
-Elves excel in speach, song, and poetry.
-Elves were the first creatures on Earth to speak with voices, and no creatures before them ever sang.
-They typically have fair complexions and coloring, with few exceptions such as Elven Princess Arwen, who is noted for her rare and unusual dark beauty.
-In war, Elves can be killed with fire or steel, and some have been known to die from grief,
-Elves are surrounded by a light similar to that of a glowing moon, such as how Queen Galadriel is often know as "Lady of the Light".
-Queen Galadriel was the bearer of one of the three elven rings, Nenya. Nenya's power enabled the Mirror of Galadriel to see into the future and also gives Galadriel the power of mind to visualize Sauron's moves.
-Elves speak both Quenya and Sindarin language. (Sindarin is the more common, and it was the one used in The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.)
