They dwell among the fey folk, with many older Eladrin eventually transcending their mortal forms to become fey spirits.Įlves have been a part of European folklore for millennia, but the modern conception of the fair folk ( tall, slender, graceful, ageless, and good with bows) has been greatly influenced by the works of Tolkein ( not to mention Dungeons & Dragons itself), but the Eladrin are probably the closest thing D&D has to classical representations of elves. Natives of the Feywild, a place of faerie magic and raw emotion, the Eladrin also might be the oldest example of elven culture.
In this guide, we’ll go over what makes this subrace of elves unique, break down the mechanical benefits (and drawbacks) of playing an Eladrin, as well as some of the classes that synergize well with a fey elf character.Īll elves have a touch of the otherworldly about them, but of all the high, wood, or dark divisions of their species, it’s the Eladrin – the fey elves – who may be the most alien. Untamable, changeable, and fiercely free, the Eladrin are ruled by their emotions and innate connection, both to the changing seasons of the natural world, and to the roiling fey magic that lives within each of them. Eladrin are a subrace of elves native to the Feywild.
