Seldarine

The Seldarine (Elvish for "fellowship of brothers and sisters of the wood") was the elven pantheon of gods that resided on the astral dominion of Arvandor under the leadership of Corellon Larethian.
Greater gods:

• Corellon Larethian, leader of the Seldarine; he was the elven god of magic, warfare, music, art, and crafts.
• Angharradh, consort to Corellon; commonly believed to be a combination of three other elven goddesses (Sehanine Moonbow, Aerdrie Faenya, and Hanali Celanil) formed when Lolth rebelled and was exiled.

• Khalreshaar, an interloper goddess in the elven pantheon, aspect of Mielikki. Believed by half-elves to be the daughter of Silvanus and Hanali Celanil, and as such, the first truly half-elven deity.

Worship

Each member of the Seldarine was represented by both male and female forms. For example, in Cormanthor, there were statues of the Seldarine in either both their male and female forms or in a single androgynous form. Some gods even had more than three forms, including nonhumanoid forms.
In fact, the elves found the human obsession with biological sex and gender roles to be limiting and not befitting of a deity, who was beyond mortal definitions. All gods were to be respected, not squeezed into a role that presented them as little more than powerful versions of mortals at best or spoiled children at worst.
