Elden-Eladen (Eladrin)
The Elden-Eladen, or eladrin, are the elves of the four seasons, and the oldest of the Elden heritages. They descend from the Haku-Elda, and over some 100,000 years the land and magic around them shaped them into a people of their own.
Appearance
Section titled “Appearance”Eladrin are lithe and of middling height, around six feet tall and about 100 pounds, with slightly pointed ears and large eyes. Their skin, hair and other features follow the seasons: their coloring shifts with them, and their hair can grow almost like a plant’s.
Society and Culture
Section titled “Society and Culture”Eladrin life follows the turning of the seasons, which shape their coloring and much of how they look.
Homeland
Section titled “Homeland”Their home region is Sylvaria, but their nature is tied to Sylvar, the Feywild, where a season can turn in an instant.
Life Cycle
Section titled “Life Cycle”An eladrin can live around 500 years.
Relations
Section titled “Relations”The Elden-Haea, Elden-Draku and Elden-Droki all branched from the eladrin, as did the sea elves. Most eladrin speak Elvish, Sylvan and Aethyrian Common.
Among the Aethyrsparked
Section titled “Among the Aethyrsparked”An eladrin whose Aethyr Knot ignites brings the restless change of the seasons into a life bound to the Aethyrweave.
