Eladrin

The first Eladrin came to Rhonnos from the Feywild sometime during the Shadow Years. They and their cousins, the Elves, moved into the northern lands at about the same time, but given the difference in lifestyles, never came into conflict.

Lord Obberil was the original leader of the Eladrin and he moved them west towards the coast. The Eladrin settled into the forests nicely, as they were far enough away from the Giants to the south and had no direct competition at the time. They called their lands Llwywen, after the kingdom they left in the Feywild.

Being near the coast, they quickly turned to shipbuilding, and their prowess has yet to be matched. Eladrin ships are the fastest in the seas, and over the years the Eladrin used that to their advantage.

During the Night of Fire and the years that followed, some Eladrin were warped by the energies of the Far Realm and slowly became the Drow. Considered cursed, the Eladrin drove them out, and eventually into the Underdark, where they thrived. The Drow would be a threat, but never one as great as the Tieflings.

As Nerath expanded, the Eladrin fought against them, knowing the dangers of diabolic pacts. But the Eladrin, while long lived, did not have the numbers the Nerathi had, and were pushed back until Tel Avandi (Sanctuary Island) was all they had left. Their naval power kept them safe for the most part, but they were forced to remain mostly isolated until the fall of Nerath.

Overall, Eladrin are somewhat haughty and distant to all other races, but have respect for Dragonborn. Elves, they consider naive, Dwarves are greedy and stubborn, and Humans are just reckless. Tieflings they usually hold a special hatred for.

Education and magical learning are important parts of Eladrin society, and those who stray away from that tend to be regarded as miscreants and troublemakers.
