Eladrin
The Eladrin live within the feywild and are technically the oldest and most enduring elven society in the multiverse.
Basic Information
Anatomy
At a surface level eladrin look quite a bit like other elves, though even more slender and their eyes tend to sparkle or shine which betrays their innate feywild magic. It’s the link between their emotions and their appearance that really sets them apart from other elves. There are broadly 4 “states” for an eladrin to be in, each one linked to a particular feeling and one of the 4 seasons. Some eladrin will spend their entire lives within a single “season” or “state”, while some will go back and forth between them as often as they change clothes.
SPRING ELADRIN Eladrin in the spring state tend to have green skin and hair, their presence and aura is filled with new life to such an extent that young flowers and plant shoots may sprout around their bodies. This state is linked to joyful and playful emotions, celebrations, and cheerfulness. Eladrin in this state are often energetic, exuberant, optimistic, and prone to mischief while acting naive and careless to potential dangers.
SUMMER ELADRIN Eladrin in the summer state tend to have bright golden hair and skin, their presence and aura is intimidating and almost radiates heat. This state is linked to passionate and wrathful emotions, confrontations, and anger. Eladrin in this state are often enraged, motivated, vindictive, and ready to act against any threat.
AUTUMN ELADRIN Eladrin in the autumn state tend to have red or orange hair and skin, their features mimicking freshly fallen autumn leaves. This state is linked to peaceful and calming emotions, self-reflection, and measured resolutions. Eladrin in this state are level-headed, well-meaning, open-minded, and slow to act without careful thought.
WINTER ELADRIN Eladrin in the winter state tend to have pale blue or white hair and skin, their features mimicking the rime and frost of the coldest depths of the year. This state is linked to sad and melancholy emotions, bitterness, and quiet contemplation. Eladrin in this state are gloomy, sorrowful, regretful, and are prone to lashing out, holding grudges, and crying frozen tears.

Common Etiquette Rules
Eladrin are much more wild than their counterparts on the material plane, but still are courteous to a fault.
Culture and Cultural Heritage
The Eladrin live within the feywild and are technically the oldest and most enduring elven society in the multiverse. There they’ve taken elven architecture and culture to creative heights, melding nature and structure through the feywild’s innate chaotic power. Most of the original eladrin have since lost humanoid form and have been elevated into powerful fey, strangely, the eladrin we know today are those that showed restraint.
Eladrin have merged with feywild magic, and much like the feywild their existence is dictated by their emotions. Eladrin are passionate, prone to wild mood swings, and generally go where their hearts take them. The eladrin value and respect personal freedom, love music and art, and often feel compelled to surround themselves with beauty.
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Eladrin and Elves intermingle fairly often.
