The Sindar who speak the Sindarin language nowadays, and are also called Grey Elves, come from the ancient Telerin people, and they were the group who chose to do the opposite and not complete the Great Journey, rather staying behind instead.
During the end of the first age, as well as the second, many Sindar migrated over the Great Sea, and it wasn’t long before they all fell in love with the new location and the sea coast, and they continued to settle there for many more generations to come.
Their adventurous spirit allows them to adjust to a situation on the fly, and the actions they take across the world resonate, allowing their names to weave their way into the common knowledge, names like Osgarien, Lúthril, Mistriel, and Theriedir.
