Most of today's living elves were already alive back then! By human standards, those times were like the 1990s ... which were actually pretty different times when it comes to political correctness, so fair point actually.

Are you saying that the sword was made due to elven cocaine?

If it was made by Ñoldor, which seems likely... yeah, you could say that.

(“Elven cocaine” being mainly Fëanor's hubris, the doom of Mandos, and all that; which admittedly had all the bad parts of actual cocaine, but none of the fun ones).
