Avari

The Avari (Q: "unwilling"; or "the Refusers") were a branch of Elves that refused to embark on the Great Journey. At the outset of the Great Journey, the Eldar outnumbered the Avari by a considerable margin. By the time the Great Journey was ended and Tol Eressëa was permanently anchored in the Bay of Eldamar the proportions had reversed, with Moriquendi (including the Úmanyar) outnumbering Amanyar by nearly as much as the Eldar had originally outnumbered the Avari.
