Rivendell Elf

"[The Quendi] were a race high and beautiful, the older Children of the world, and among them the Eldar were as kings, who now are gone: the People of the Great Journey, the People of the Stars. They were tall, fair of skin and grey-eyed, though their locks were dark, save in the golden house of Finarfin; and their voices had more melodies than any mortal voice that now is heard."

- The Lord of the Rings

The Rivendell Elves are mostly Noldorin Elves that did not return to Valinor, who dwell in Rivendell, home of the Lord Elrond, at the end of the Third Age. They are more ancient than the Wood-Elves and the Galadhrim, and are great warriors and loremasters.

Spawning
Rivendell Elves currently spawn in the fair vale of Rivendell, or Imladris in the Elvish speech. These include normal Rivendell Elves, as well as Rivendell Elf warriors. The Rivendell Elf Warriors bear an assortment of Rivendell weapons and wear Rivendell armour, while civilians (normal Rivendell Elves) have only Rivendell bows and Rivendell daggers to defend themselves with.

There are currently three structures created for the Rivendell Elves, the main one being the  Rivendell hall. Within it the player can find several High Elves. The Rivendell House is a smaller dwelling, with only one Rivendell Elf. There is also the Rivendell smithy, but it only contains one  Rivendell Elf smith. From this trader NPC, you can purchase Rivendell equipment and sell it ores.

Behaviour
Rivendell Elves will attack any evil mob or player who has negative alignment with the High Elven faction. They are capable of both a ranged and a melee attack. When not engaged in combat, they will roam their land randomly.

Hiring
Rivendell Elves can be hired from Rivendell Elf lords in their Rivendell Elven Halls. For this, you will need at least +250 alignment with the High Elven faction; prices start at 30 silver coins, but decrease the higher your alignment is, all the way down to 15.
