"Then Feanor swore a terrible oath....to pursue with vengeance and hatred to the ends of the World Vala, Demon, Elf or Man as yet unborn, or any creature, great or small, good or evil, that time should bring forth unto the end of days, whoso should hold or take or keep a Silmaril from their possession."-The Silmarillion, Of the Flight of the Noldor

When Morgoth stole the Silmarils from Valinor, their creator, Feanor, and a large chunk of the Noldor elves left to hunt down their prized possessions. The book states, "The Noldor came at last far into the north of Arda; and they saw the first teeth of the ice that floated in the sea," which, in the present map, most likely refers to Forodwaith. This should be a very scattered race, with only small encampments few and far between in the far north of Middle-Earth.

Seeing as their oath against anyone who withholds a Simaril from them is mostly directed at Morgoth, one should gain alignment with the Noldor by killing the spawn of Utumno, giving players a bit more inspiration to travel to the unforgiving underworld. As more inspiration, Feanor himself learned the art of blacksmithy from his father-in-law, who learned from master craftsman Aule, the Valar, so their armor should be very robust and offer a bit less protection than mithril armor. Their weapons should offer as muchy damage as high elven weapons, but be far more durable.

As far as looks go, they should look similar to the High Elves, but, living in a biome of utter cold and little light, their skin should be more white in color. I must admit, I am not that creative, and the book doesn't describe the Noldor or their weapons, so if you guys have any suggestions, please leave a comment of your thoughts.
