According to Tolkien, who can be considered one of the fathers of today's elven imagination, the elves were created by Eru Ilúvatar to be a sort of balance keeper, therefore much wiser than men who instead were messing around. Tolkien drew inspiration from Norse mythology to the Ljósálfar (elves of light) who were considered as a kind of angelic and ancient creatures with a deep connection to nature and the cosmos.

Hurting elves – Iron in fantasy lore
J.R.R. Tolkien drew from existing European fairy beliefs in making iron anathema to elves in his Middle Earth legendarium. But he developed these tropes further to shape elf culture and technology in profound ways. Some examples:

"Elves do not build or make things of iron. They are pragmatists and opportunists in such matters, taking and adapting what they find; though they understand the making of finer metals…" – Tolkien‘s essay The Nature of Middle-earth

https://www.33rdsquare.com/do-elves-hate-iron/




When massive stars run out of helium, they can fuse carbon into heavier elements like oxygen, neon, silicon, magnesium, sulfur, and iron1. Once the core turns to iron, it can no longer burn, leading to the star's collapse due to gravity1. The iron core eventually implodes into a neutron star, and the outer gases explode in a supernova2.

Well not only in Norse Mythology but also in the Lore of Middle Earth, the Elves are closely connected with the Gods and basically holier than men in most ways.

They're like Men but fairer, more beautiful, more artistic and indeed their crafts are superior. And they live longer as you pointed out.

Diametrically opposed to Giants, Trolls, Orcs, and all the other foes of Men who will bring about ragnarok.

@Absurdo_N
they only are after a certain book about furry feet people and a ring.

folklore elves were in the same category as goblins. in folklore where it varied from elf to elf. just like goblins were not what we see in media today.

most goblins were actually more helpful then elves and elves tended to be more malicious. famous example the Erlking which modern stories rewrote as a goblin, but the name is taken from the word ellekonge which was elf king.

You have left out the most important part that was the core of a previous message of yours on this race. Despite their exceptional longevity, they do not lift weights! They should all look like this guy and not like romantic heroes.
