I am taking an educated guess that the first elves to becomes kings were the elves who showed natural leadership, control, wisdom, and the ability to persuade. I have not read the Histories, so someone may be able to prove me wrong, but I am quite sure that is how it worked out. From those first leaders and those close to those leaders came the heredtary lines of elves born into leadership, sub-leaders, advisors, middle-class, and possibly even a warrior class.
