History

It was later joined by Oropher (Then called Dain) and some time after that Aragorn, King of the Reunited Kingdom and friend of Oropher changed his name and race and became Legolas Greenleaf.

Lore
Wood-elves, or Silvan Elves, were a class of Elves that lived near the Blue Mountains. They were added to the number of High Elves, and they shared the lands with the Dwarves.

The best known Wood-elves are the Elves of the Woodland Realm in Northern Mirkwood and Lothlórien. In the First Age the elves of Ossiriand, the Laiquendi, were also referred to as Wood-elves.

Silvan Elves were of Nandorin descent but they were mainly governed by Sindar and Noldorin rulers. Examples of such rulers were Thranduil, the King of the Woodland Realm in Northern Mirkwood, Amdír and his son, Amroth, who ruled over Lorien, and Galadriel and Celeborn, who too ruled over Lórien.

Silvan Elves were considered to be less wise than other Eldar, but were more wise than men. Some of them were almost indistinguishable from the Avari, those who never joined the Great Journey.
