Few among the elves, and
an even smaller number

of half-elves, have the honor of being inducted into the


ranks of the bladesingers. One must have the mind nec-


essary to be a great wizard, and also the agility of the


greatest dancers.


THE SELDARIN E


The pantheon of elven deities, called the Seldarine,


includes Corellon and the
group of primal elves whom


he graced with divinity. These gods were the ones who

brought word to Corellon of Lolth's radical ideas, and


their creator rewarded them with a vast increase in their


divine power. When Lolth lured some of the primal elves


away from Corellon
with her promises, this high-rank-


ing core of divine entities remained loyal. Because
they

rejected Lolth's treacherous ways, they retained
their

primal power and their immortality.

Surface elves, and other elves who dwell
in the light,

revere these
entities for remaining true to Corellon. In

practice, this reverence is expressed more as the honor-

ing of an ancestor than the worshiping of a god, for all

the elves are descended
from the Seldarine.

The Elf Deities tab
le enumerates the members of the

Seldarine. For each god, the table notes alignment
, prov-

ince (the god's main areas of interest and responsibility),

suggested domains
for clerics who serve the god, and a

common symbol
of the god. Several of the gods in the

table are describ
ed in this section.

CORELLON LARETHIAN

The creator of all elves is both
chaos and beauty per-

sonified. Corellon is as fluid
and changeable as a breeze

or a brook- quick to ange
r, but equally quick to forgive

and forget. The god loves
magic, artistry, nature, and

freedom. Anyone who
has felt the mystical presence of

Corellon describes it as a joy like no other, followed
by a

deep melancholy when his presence is no longer
felt.

Corellon doesn't
expect much from followers-no

complex rituals
or frequent ceremonies or even regular
