I would agree with you,Dimaldaeon. It Does seem strange that a king would not marry and produce an heir. But then we are talking about Elves. It seems not to be too important an issue for them. Marriage in general seems not to be an important issue for Elves. If you find a spouse, good for you, if not, you weren't really looking for one anyway.

I don't imagine there was a shortage of prospective candidates to rein in his place. An heir is therefore unnecessary.
