Part 6/8:
Among the Teleri, some elves chose to remain in Middle-earth, refusing the Valar’s invitation. These elves, known as the Avari or "reluctants", preferred the beauty of Middle-earth under the stars. Notably, there were also those who embarked on the journey but halted midway, becoming the Sindar, or Grey Elves. These variations exhibit the significant choices the elves made regarding their destinies and affinities.
