Silvan+Elves

The best known **Silvan Elves** are the [|Elves] of northern [|Mirkwood] and [|Lothlórien]. They're also known as the wooded-elves. The Silvan Elves of Mirkwood don't trust Dwarves, but are kind to men, who they trade with. In The Hobbit, [|Bilbo Baggins] has to rescue the Dwarves of [|Thorin Oakenshield]'s company from these Elves. Later in the book they are one of the five Armies in the [|Battle of Five Armies]. [|Legolas] of the [|Fellowship of the Ring], although he lived with them, was not one of them. He was the son of the elf-king [|Thranduil], who came from Doriath. Legolas was actually a [|Sindarin] Elf.
