In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, eladrins are a type of celestial of chaotic good alignment and hail from the plane of Arborea. In 4th Edition Eladrin will appear as a core, PC race akin to High Elves, but more magical.

  • Bralani - Wild and feral eladrins that can assume the shape of a whirlwind or zephyr of dust, snow, or sand.
  • Firre [2] - Red-haired elven eladrins that protect works of art and the artists who create them.
  • Ghaele - Knights-errant of the celestials who quietly muster resistance and offer guidance to any of good heart.
  • Noviere - an aquatic eladrin that dwells on Ossa, the second layer of Arborea.

  • Shiradi [3] - Shiradis battle for freedom across the planes, helping the oppressed, deceived, and less fortunate.
  • Tulani - The ancient faerie lords of the eladrin, who roam seeking peace, beauty, and solitude.

[edit] The Court of Stars

The celestial paragons of the eladrins are collectively known as The Court of Stars. The members include:

  • Faerinaal, the Queen's Consort - Oversees the defense of the Court of Stars and liberates eladrins captured by evil forces.
  • Gwynharwyf, the Whirling Fury - Queen Morwel's loyal champion and a barbarian of unparalleled ferocity.
  • Morwel, Queen of Stars - The ruler of the eladrins and the Court of Stars.

Former Members:

  • Ascodel - This former Royal Consort was tricked into a pact with the demoness Pale Night, condemning a generation of young eladrins to be eternally bound to the Abyssal layer of Androlynne. Ascodel died fighting to defend these children on Androlynne.
  • Vaeros - The predecessor of Faerinaal perished during a mission to the Abyss to liberate eladrins captured by the forces of evil.
