Noldor
The Noldor are a tribe/civilization of (Tolkien) elves.
Known for their love of knowledge and craftsmanship (especially smithcraft and jewel-making), they are most known for their production of the Silmarilli, the three jewels formed by the smith Feanor, containing the light of the Two Trees.
After the Darkening of Valinor, when Melkor and Ungoliant destroyed the Two Trees that illuminated the continent and stole the three jewels from Feanor, the Noldor left Valinor to make war on him. King(?) Feanor swore an oath to reclaim the Silmarilli from any hand that held them, and he and most of the Noldor left Valinor in spite of a warning not to do so. In the process, they attacked a port city of the Teleri and stole their ships to gain passage to Middle-earth, and were therefore condemned by Mandos and banned from entering Valinor again (though this ban was allegedly lifted later). From this point on and until the Fourth Age, most of the Noldor dwelled in Middle-earth.
