Eladrin
Eladrin are elves that have been exposed to the unbridled magic of the Feywild for enough time to have fundamentally changed their very being. While they are still similar to elves that live outside of the Feywild, the strange magic of the plane has changed the nature of eladrin to match its chaotic temperament.
The Feywild and the birthplace of the elves, Arvandor, share an intensely emotional magical energy, causing the eladrin to share similarities with the first elves. Elves that live on the Material Plane have become stoic and in control of their emotions, whereas eladrin are ruled by wild impulses. One moment, you could be having a cool-headed conversation with a somber winter eladrin. The next, the blade of a furious summer eladrin’s knife is at your throat because of a single, accidental slight.
While the Feywild might have molded the eladrin into fey-like beings, only some of them have been turned into true fey creatures. You are unlikely to see eladrin that have held onto their elven heritage in either the seelie or unseelie courts, though they might align themselves with either court if the need arises. Instead, eladrin have created a society for themselves in the Feywild. The eladrin have used their long-lasting life and powerful magical abilities to erect glorious cities full of spectacular elven architecture that are truly unique in the Feywild. Most of these eladrin cities are hundreds, if not thousands of years old. Brimming with knowledge, their scholars and universities have forgotten more ancient secrets than their Material Plane counterparts have ever known.
