High elves? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I always thought that High Elves were those elves that saw the light of the Trees in Valinor so the only elves being classified as High Elves in Middle Earth are Noldor descent (and Thingol). So Elrond is not a High Elf but Galadriel is. I don't know if Gildor and Glorfindel are old enough to have seen the light of the Trees or if they were born in Middle Earth.

This means that it is not impossible, though that there remain more High Elves in Lothlorien or Rivendell or any other place in Middle Earth.
