Tel'Nardil
The Old Elves, or Tel'Nardil, (Elves(Tel) of(Nar) Old(Dilis)), are the ancestor race of all Elves. Elven lore tells that they left Edora alongside their creator and leader, Corellon Larethian for the realm of Arvandor, leaving their offspring behind to care for the world. Some consider the Drow, who reside in the Underdark as direct descendants of the Tel'Nardils. The Sun Elves also consider themselves as direct descendants and view the other races as descendants of them instead.

Tel'Nardils did not posses a specific gender. They where a beings of constant change, both in minds and flesh. Their reproduction was a mental process and not a physical one. It is believed that this is the reason it is common for elves to look androgynous even among themselves.
