Citation :The feasting people were Wood-elves, of course. These are not wicked folk. If they have a fault it is distrust of strangers. Though their magic was strong, even in those days they were wary. They differed from the High Elves of the West, and were more dangerous and less wise. For most of them (together with their scattered relations in the hills and mountains) were descended from the ancient tribes that never went to Faerie in the West.

Citation : On sait peu de choses des Nandor errants qui descendirent l’Anduin derrière lui. Certains, dit-on, restèrent toujours sur les pentes boisées de la Grande Vallée, d’autres atteignirent l’embouchure et s’installèrent au bord de la mer, d’autres encore franchirent les Montagnes Blanches, Ered Nimrais, remontèrent vers le nord et arrivèrent en Eriador, le pays sauvage qui va d’Ered Luin aux Montagnes de Brume.

Little is known of the wanderings of the Nandor, whom he led away down Anduin: some, it is said, dwelt age-long in the woods of the Vale of the Great River, some came at last to its mouths and there dwelt by the Sea, and yet others passing by Ered Nimrais, the White Mountains, came north again and entered the wilderness of Eriador between Ered Luin and the far Mountains of Mist.
