The Avari (Quenya for Unwilling, or The Refusers) were the elves who did not follow Orome into the west to Valinor. Some wandered away from Cuivienen into the hills, and had not seen the coming of Orome, while others had remained suspicious due to Melkor's tales. But in the end, some of these elves stayed near the waters of Cuivienen, while others started to wander westward, even reaching as far as Beleriand. The Avari started to die out eventually in the west, and mingled with Nandor, eventually becoming hardly distinguishable from the Silvan Elves.

The Avari are comprised of six tribes of Kindi, Cuind, Hwenti, Windan, Kinn-lai, and the Penni. There is also a rumored seventh tribe known as the Hisildi, but the fate of this tribe is unknown.

Lore: (Some of this is made-up for the sake of Roleplay)

The Avari who wandered to the west formed a kingdom bordering the sea of Rhun, and would eventually be known as the Avari Penni, one of the Avarin tribes. The other six tribes migrated to the Wild Woods, and each found their own place among the wild woods. The tribes eventually formed what could only be described as kingdoms, but they were still tribal like. Some of the tribes built villages or outposts outside the Wild Woods, expanding their territories to the border of the last desert. However, as the tribes grew, one tribe in particular grew greedier, the Hisildi. The Hisildi were the biggest tribe among the Avari of the Wild Woods, and it was there wish to unify the tribes under their rule, and to eventually expand further. The Hisildi swept from their realm in the north of the Wild Woods and conqured the realms of Cuind and the Windan, and had begun their invasion of the Hwenti. The lord of the Hwenti, Dinen Feredir (Silent Hunter) fought back by using various tactics, famously using the trees, and had them on reatreat from Hwenti territory after the infamous siege of Xeansios, the capital of the Hwenti. After this, lord Dinen travelled to thr realms of the Kindi and the Kinn-lai, and propsed an alliance against the Hisildi, to which both realms aggred. The Hisildi then set their sights on the red mountains, and took territory to gather the abundance of resources. The Orocarni (also known as the Red Dwarves)  noticed this and feared an attack, and they sent messagers to Dinen. After meeting with the leaders of each Dwarven clan, they dwarven lords swore an oath to Dinen to help push out the Hisildi The red dwarves and their Avarin allies pushed the Hisildi out of the mountains, and the Orocarni then launched a campaign in eastern territory of the Hisildi. Eventually, after months of battling, the Cuind and Windan were libereated and followed Dinen and his allies, eventually taking the capital of the Hisildi, ending the war. There were hunts to sweep out the Hisildi colonies of Hisildi, and the tribe fled north, their fate unknwon, Ever since that point, the Orocarni remained a strong ally of the Avari. Lord Dinen was crowned king of the Avari, and he eventually traveled west to the Penni Avari, and they joined as apart of the Unified Avarin Kingdoms. King Dinen built a great capital near the Red Mountains, and the capital was built from numerous styles of elven brick, and Sarngaran. However, over the years, the easterling tribes pushed back the elves into their forests, and at one battle against the Wainriders of Palisor, lord Dinen and his only son died. His wife had died of a sickness before, and therefore leaving the kingdom without an heir. Tensions rose of who should be king, and an agreement was struck that the tribes would seperate. Years passed... and the tribes still remained divided. While the Penni had no longer any contact with the Avari of the Wild Woods, the Tribes of the far east grew more suspicous of each other, and tensions grew. But, an elf by the name of Malthen Tinu stopped the tensions single handedly, and united the tribes against a massive invasion of the wainriders. After the Avari emerged victorious, Malthen was crowned the new king of the Wild Woods.

Note: Malthen Tinu will be a custom character I will apply for.

Tribes:

Penni: Generally, the Avari Penni refers to most, if not all the Avari who wandered west. Some of the Avari Penni live among the Silvan elves of Dorwinion, as it was thought to be once  a land of the Avari. However, the Penni Avari are also what the Avari elves of who dwell deep within the forests of Eryn Caran refer to themselves as. The only elves who have seen the Penni Avari are elves of dorwinion, and the Easterlings who safe guard the forests as the former home of their former king, Khamul. The easterlings view the Penni similar to Dorwinion, as both nations share Elvish inhabitants, they mix them together. The Penni have remained seperate from their kin from the tribes of the Wild Wood, not coming in contact since the falling apart of the Unified Avari Kingdoms. However, they have contacted their kin once more, as a rumor has drawn them back, a rumor of a new king of the Wild Woods.

Tribes of the Wild Woods: These tribes in general are very similar to each other, and are collectively referred to as the tribes of the Wild Woods. The tribes use much of the red mountain stone for their cities. The Wild Woods tribes have a strong hatred of the Easterling tribes, namely the wainriders for pushing them back into the woods. They hold a strong friendship with the Orocarni.

Hisildi: Not much is known of the fate of the Hisildi after the war, but there are tales from Red Dwarven travellers who claimed to see pointy eared men in the Taiga east of th Red Mountains.
