Wood-elves are the Silvan Elves that dwell in the vast forest of Mirkwood to the northeast of Middle-earth. They are very much similar to the Galadhrim of Lothlórien, except that they are considered less wise and more suspicious. They live in the uncorrupted portion of Mirkwood, the Woodland Realm, and wear reds and browns that reflect their darkened home. Notable Wood-elves include Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm, and his son Legolas Greenleaf, a notable member of the Fellowship of the Ring.
