Moraquandi question
I know about the dark elfs that do not go into the light and stay in the wood but in the simirals it says that the moraquandi are the elfs that never saw the light of the two trees
So are they the dark elfs that where born out of the time of the trees or the elfs that wandered and only like the darkness

I would say only the elves who lived at the time of the Two Trees and their descendents.

I thought the Dark Elves were those that refused the journey to Valinor all-together. There were those that took the march, of which most arrived but some got lost (or changed their minds). Then the Noldolie that went to Valinor but returned to Middle Earth.
Does that make any sense? |

The Moriquendi were the Elves that never saw the light of the Two Trees, Elrond and Celeborn were two examples, as they were born in Middle Earth.
Those the refused the journey to Valinor were called The Avari.

Note: Elrond was not an elf.

We do not know for certain if Celeborn was in Valinor or not, there is more than one version of his beginnings.
The Avari and all the elves that strayed from the journey at any point that would have prevented them from reaching Valinor at the time of the Two Trees are considered Moriquendi. This include even the Sindar, although they are called grey elves because of their dealings with Melian. The term Moriquendi does not include the decendents of the Caliquendi that had not seen the light of the Two Trees, just as Legalos said. |

If I remember correctly, the terms caliquendi and moriquendi were coined by the Noldor returning to ME in the First Age to (derisively) differentiate themselves from the other elves of ME who had never been to Valinor or seen the Trees.
Note that King Thingol was actually a caliquendi since he was brought to Valinor along with Ingwë and Finwë to see the Trees and convice the elves to make the great journey. With this one exception, all the other sindarin elves were moriquendi. All the elves born after the trees were destroyed, whether in Valinor or ME, are moriquendi. |

Intermarriage of Caliquendi and Moriquendi would just complicate things and I am not sure what would be what. In that scenario I would have to abandon the terms moriquendi and caliquendi in favor of the terms amanyar and umanyar, which the elves apparently did as well. |
