Warhammer 40k's Eldar are like this as well. They end up forking into factions with some giving themselves over into complete violent, orgiastic depravity and the other becomes extremely austere, self-denying ascetics.

And, going full circle, Eldar is of course the name of elevenkind in the Silmarillion.

Yes, the Eldar are a closer parallel to what the Nonmen are in these books. Although I'd probably still rather encounter the average Eldar in a dark alley.
