High Elves

The High Elves were those Quenya who answered the summons and traveled to Valinor. It tends to be a term used by mortals, such as Men and Hobbits to distinguish the Noldorin exiles and other folk who left the Undying Lands and returned to Middle-Earth from lesser Elves who remained behind.

High Elves tended to have considerable power, such as the ability to see Ringwraiths and other shadow creatures, and to combat such entities. Those of the Noldor race were often skilled craftsmen as well. However, the High Elves always longed to return to the Undying Lands, and most had sailed from the Grey Havens by the time of  The Lord of the Rings.
