View source for Falmari

The '''Falmari''' ''([[Quenya]]: "Wave-folk:)'' were a branch of the [[Teleri]], the third and largest of the Elven clans that made the [[Great Journey]] to [[Valinor]]. While part of the Telerin host refused to make the final journey to [[Aman]], those that did not became known as the Falmari. The Falmari were close in friendship with the [[Maiar|Maia]] [[Ossë]], who served the [[Valar|Vala]] [[Ulmo]], Lord of the Waters. They paused on the last leg of the journey to Aman and established [[Tol Eressëa]], the Lonely Isle, though they later learned the art of ship-building from Ossë and continued on, where they founded the city of [[Alqualondë]].

The Falmari were friendly with the [[Noldor|Ñoldor]], at least until the First [[Kinslaying]]. They were great musicians and mariners and sailed in swan-ships.
