There was not always animosity between the Elves and the Dwarves. Dwarves made the best armour and the elves often traded and bought and sold. The entrance was the primary access point for their dealings, and was placed their mostly for the purpose of the elves. The elves of Eregion were great craftsmen, and they traded and worked with the dwarves of Moria, and there was great friendship. This ended when Sauron revealed himself, slew the elves' king, Celebrimbor, and the Gates of Moria were shut.

∙ 13y agoElves and Dwarfs had always had bad blood between them, But some hundred years or so before there was a war between the elves and dwarfs , and elves have long memories (seeing as the live for ever). But it also mentions in the book that Thorin's Ancestors had nothing to do with it.

The elves basically deserted the Dwarfs, and Thorin holds a grudge on all elves

Why did the elvish-looking folk disappear when the dwarves went running into their camp?
If you are referring to the book "The Hobbit," we aren't told exactly. We do know that elves and dwarves had a long-standing grudge against each other. But it does seem as if the elves were trying to trap them, or at least to create an excuse for taking them prisoner. The elves in "The Hobbit" were more like the elves in Celtic folklore - silly, tricky, deceitful little fairies - than the regal, mysterious elves in "The Lord of the Rings." Legolas was a Mirkwood elf, one of the people that the dwarves encountered in "The Hobbit," and was not considered the equal of the Lorien elves.
