The elves in the Middle-earth were the first creations of the gods. They were created before the sun and the moon were. After the first elves were created they invented poetry and music. Some of the early elves were captured by the dark lord Melkor and twisted and mutilated until they became orcs. Later on, the elves invented writing and the arts of building, metallurgy, arts and crafts, and shipbuilding. Much later on in life the Elves were given three rings of power, but the dark lord Sauron forged one ring to rule them all. Because of this, they took off their rings and hid them.
