Hey guys I wrote the history of the elves but I was focusing on the Sindar Elves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long ago before the rising of the Sun or the Moon, in the far east of Middle-earth, Cuivienen, The Water of Awakening, awoke the first Elves. The Elves awoke under the starlight of the Years of the Trees, on the shores of the Inland Sea of Helcar, beneath the mountains of the Orocarni. The Valar did know anything about their existence, but the spies of Melkor soon discovered about the existence of Elves. Melkor then sent his creatures to watch and harass the Elves. A lot of the ancient Elves were captured and imprisoned in Utummo by Melkor. The tortured Elves are thought to be the origins of the Orcs. The period of time that the Elves were in this terrifying and unprotected state is unknown.
The Valar had discovered about the existence of Elves form Orome, who had heard their singing voices. He had named them Eldar, the People of the Stars, but Elves called themselves Quendi. Concerned for the Elves safety, Valar left Valinor and went to war against the Dark Lord, this was the Battle of Powers. Valar was victorious, and he took Melkor captive and brought him back to Valinor.
After the defeat of Melkor, the Valar debated on the fate of the Elves. It was decided to bring them to the land of Valar. Orome was sent back to Cuivienen to summon the Elves. Orome found that Elves were afraid of Valar and did want to go on the journey. To help the Elves decide, three ambassadors were chosen, Finwe, Elwe, and Ingwe. The three ambassadors traveled to Aman with Orome. Then they arrived there, they were filled with awe by what they saw there.
Most of the followers of Finwe, Elwe and Ingwe set out on the Great Journey across the land of Middle-earth. They were known as the Three Kindreds, the Noldor, the Vanya, and the Teleri. Those who disobeyed the summons were known as Avari, or the unwilling.
Orome lead the people of the Three Kindreds. The Teleri, led by Elwe and his brother Olwe, were the greatest amount. Many of them were uncertain and doubtful. Many of them left the Great Journey and remained in Middle-earth. The most noble of them were known as Nandor, who were lead by Lenwe down the vales of Anduin.
Some of the Teleri Elves decided to leave the journey. They settled east of the Misty Mountains, and became known as Silvan Elves. They lived on ether side of the River. Some lived in the land that would later be know as Lorien, and other’s around the hill of Amon Lanc in the far south of Greenwood the Great. At the time, of when the Silvan Elves were living closely together, that the Silvan Elvish language was created.
As time goes by, the Silvan Elves move further away form one another, and join with other Elves. Because of that the Silvan Elves branch would become extinct. But nonetheless the ancient language survived.
The Silvan Elves of Greenwood the Great would later become known as Mirkwood Elves. In the Second Age Sauron's power grew. The Mirkwood Elves slowly withdrew farther northward. In time Sauron chose to settle within the Forest of Mirkwood itself, built his fortress of Dol Guldur on the hill of Amon Lanc. Sauron brought darkness and shadow to Mirkwood. The King of Mirkwood, Oropher, died in the Battle of the Last Alliance. His son Thranduil became the lord of Mirkwood. It was from Thranduil's underground halls that his son Legolas journeyed at the end of the Third Age, to play a great part in the War of the Ring.
Unlike their cousins in the east, the Lorien Elves remained settled in their land. Amdril was the ruler of Lorien but he was lost in the battles of the Second Age. His son, Amroth, would become the ruler of Lorien. With the power of Sauron growing in Dol many of Lorien Elves fled into the south. Amroth was among them. He was drowned in the Bay of Belfalas. At this time Galadriel and Celeborn became the Lord and Lady of Lorien.
In the Third Age, during the time of the War of the Ring, Sauron’s forces attack both Lorien and Mirkwood. Thanks to the help of Galadriel and her ring, Lorien withstood the tree waves of attack form Dol Guldur. But Thranduil had no ring of power to protect his people, but he was able to drive back the enemy. With the fall of Sauron and the destruction of Dol Guldur, the Mirkwood Elves return to the home land. Yet again the Silvan Elves dwelled in the south of the Wood.

That would be great. It would be my favorate subject.
Good text, especially because of the details about the Sindar who are rather forgotten in most annals/histories like that... thanks for posting 
I am always happy when there are finally threads that are actually related to LoTR... 
, i was going for a Warrior/Paladin gonna have to look on some forums for the most effective combination
I personally like Edhelacharn / Ellacharn a little better as it's easier to speak, but that's just my own opinion
