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 whobrought 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
theyrejected Lolth's treacherous ways, they retained
theirprimal power and their immortality.Surface elves, and other elves who dwell
in the light,revere these
entities for remaining true to Corellon. InSuggested

from the Seldarine.The Elf Deities tab
le enumerates the members of theSeldarine. 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 acommon symbol
of the god. Several of the gods in thetable are describ
ed in this section.CORELLON LARETHIANThe creator of all elves is both
chaos and beauty per-sonified. Corellon is as fluid
and changeable as a breezeor a brook- quick to ange
r, but equally quick to forgiveand forget. The god loves
magic, artistry, nature, andfreedom. Anyone who
has felt the mystical presence ofCorellon describes it as a joy like no other, followed
by adeep melancholy when his presence is no longer
felt.Corellon doesn't
expect much from followers-nocomplex rituals
or frequent ceremonies or even regularC H APTER 2 I EL
