There some of them left the big group because they liked the land they were just wandering in. They started to wander along the River Andúin. These Elves were called the Nandor. Their leader was Lenwë. The Nandor wandered to the coast, from there to the White Mountains until they finally settled down in Ossiriand. The Nandor didn't join any battle. They prefer to live secrelty and peacefully. Because of the colour of their clothes they were also called the Green-Elves (Laiquendi).

Nargothrond was for a long time ruled by Finrod and later by Orodreth. When Túrin came to Nargothrond he persuaded the Elves to change their policy and fight openly against Morgoth and his servants.
