Talk:Seldarine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Campaign settings

Monster Mythology would have been the last point that they were referred to, in Greyhawk, as the Seldarine. That term, however, is still coined in modern FR products in line with the Mordinsamman etc. The point of this article was an overview of the Seldarine within the Forgotten Realms, where they are distinct from the Elven Pantheon of generic D&D for their additions (Sheverash etc.), history (Evermeet, Zandilar etc.) and interactions with the FR world. -Erolos 09:23, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

The word "Seldarine" was first coined by Roger E Moore (who has been long associated with Greyhawk) in his "Elven Point of View" article for Dragon #60 (1982), long before the Forgotten Realms campaign setting was published. Robbstrd 21:14, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Monster Mythology is actually more of a generic source, despite Sargent's close association with Greyhawk. That notwithstanding, the elven pantheon has been referred to as the Seldarine in official Greyhawk products since the 1992 release of the From the Ashes boxed set. More recent Greyhawk products featuring the word include the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer and the Living Greyhawk Journal. As for the point of this article--I see no reason why the Seldarine's role and differing membership in the Realms can't be covered in a separate section of the article (such as "The Seldarine in the Forgotten Realms"). In fact, Greyhawk has made some additions of its own to the pantheon, including Ye'Cind and Tarsellis Meunniduin, so perhaps there should be a Greyhawk section within the article as well.
