Sindar are referred to as a class all their own. They are not Moriqueni(Elves of the Darkness) nor are they properly Calaquendi(Elves of the Light) for they did not see the true light of Valinor but were left behind against their will. It's the Ñoldor's fault for not waiting for Elwë. So the Sindar have a special in-between, the Elves of the Twilight, for they saw the Light from afar and were not shrouded in darkness.
