The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini largely rehashed the setting and languages of The Lord of the Rings, as well as creatures such as elves and dwarves having nearly identical qualities to the Elves and Dwarves of Middle-earth ( though the plot is much more similar to that of Star Wars ).

However, the Men of Esgaroth, supported by Thranduil and the Elves of Mirkwood, demanded a part of the dragon's hoard as recompense for the destruction.

These were in addition to the three Celebrimbor forged, untainted by Sauron's evil, for the Elves.

Meanwhile, the Warsong Clan are left behind in Ashenvale to build a permanent settlement, but anger the Night Elves and their demigod Cenarius by cutting down the forests for resources.

Tyrande Whisperwind, leader of the Night Elves, is outraged to find the Humans and Orcs violating the forests and blames them for Cenarius ' death, so she initially vows to destroy both.

The Humans, Orcs, and Night Elves form a reluctant alliance to spring a trap on the Burning Legion, and delay it long enough for many ancestral spirits to destroy Archimonde at Mount Hyjal.

Each of the four playable races has different music: monastic music for the humans ; ambient and Native American-sounding music for the Night Elves ; warlike African-sounding music for the Orcs ; and fast, haunting music for the Undead.

Elves are immortal, in the sense that they do not perceivably age, and even if their bodies are slain, their spirits remain bound to the world, going to the Halls of Mandos, where they are later re-embodied ; a cycle that will perpetuate for them until the world ends.

Elves are thus tied to the world for as long as it lasts.

They wanted to become immortal like the Elves and enjoy their accumulated power for all time.

This proved to be disastrous for the Elves in the Nírnaeth Arnoediad when Ulfang and his clan switched sides and defected to Morgoth, while Bór and his sons died bravely fighting on the side of the Eldar.

They lived among the Folk of Haleth in the First Age and were held as Edain by the Elves, who called them Drúedain ( from Drûg, Halethian name for them, plus Edain ).
