The elven rings gave those who bore them powers to do good and great things. Galadriel's ring allowed her and Celeborn to make Lorien the powerful place it was. Elrond's ring gave him power as a great healer and ruler of Rivendell...
Once the One Ring was destoryed the elven rings lost their powers and thus the elves lost their powers. All they had made with the rings was lost and faded, and so ultimately the race of elves faded as well.
At least that is how I have come to understand it... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
