why did the elves leave valinor

The elves who left Valinor did so for a variety of reasons. Some were discontented with the restrictions placed on them by the Valar, feeling that they should be free to pursue their own destinies. Others were drawn by the beauty of Middle-earth, which they believed could be a place where they could make their own mark on the world. Still others were lured by the siren song of Morgoth, who tempted them with promises of power and glory. Ultimately, each elf made their own choice, and each had their own reasons for leaving.
