Corellon Larethian
Corellon or more fully Corellon Larethian, whose titles included Creator of the Elves and the Protector, was the Patron God of all Fey. He was the creator and preserver of the Tel'Quessir, governing those things held in the highest esteem among Eladrin and Elves, such as magic, music, arts, crafts, poetry, and warfare. Corellon lived in the realm of Arvandor. He approved of those who killed orcs and followers of Lolth, blessed those who aided others and became angered at those who defiled the dead, or fled from their foes.
Angharradh
Angharradh, also referred to as the Queen of Arvandor, who was sometimes considered the personification of three separate elven goddesses, Aerdrie Faenya, Hanali Celanil, and Sehanine Moonbow, as well as a single goddess who extended beyond these three separate aspects before the Spellplague, was the chief goddess of the Seldarine. As such, her nature reflected traits of each of these deities. Due to the nature of her creation, Angharradh exhibited a fierce protectiveness and strong resolve. Despite her vigilance, the reversal of the Elven Retreat and the return of drow to Cormanthor weakened Angharradh's spirit while causing the three goddesses to spend more time apart.
Aerdrie Faenya
Aerdrie Faenya, also known as Queen of the Avariel, was an elven goddess of the Seldarine. She was free, chaotic and impulsive, and didn't like to stay in any one place for too long. While she delighted in creating unpredictable weather, including some fairly severe thunderstorms, her primary joy was simply to feel the air around her as she flew high above the ground. Somewhat distant, Aerdrie seldom involved herself in the culture of her fellow deities. Usually disregarding the other elves of Faerûn, Aerdrie concerned herself with the affairs of the few remaining avariel. Though often thought of and treated as though a goddess, Aerdrie Faenya was, in fact, the fey-oriented aspect of the primordial Akadi.
Hanali Celanil
Hanali Celanil is the fey aspect of the goddess Sune, serving as the deity of romantic love and beauty within the Seldarine. She lives in the realm of Arvandor. A being of timeless beauty and benign nature, she always forgives minor transgressions and delights in rewarding her followers with the bliss of unexpected love and affection. She embodies romance, beauty, love, and joy in elven spirits, her only flaws being her own mild vanity and flighty nature. Although she rarely appears to her faithful, Hanali delights in seeing the growth of love among elves, and she often acts in secret to protect young lovers. She was thought for many years to be an aspect of Angharradh, the Triune Goddess, before her true identity as Sune was revealed.
Sehanine Moonbow
Sehanine Moonbow is the fey aspect of Selûne, Goddess of the moon. She is one of the more powerful members of the Seldarine. The Lady of Dreams actively opposes the nefarious schemes of the Spider Queen and the other drow powers. She is said to be the wife of Corellon Larethian. Sehanine lives in the realm of Arvandor.
As befits the elven goddess of mysteries, Sehanine is cloaked in secrets and illusions and rarely speaks her mind directly, preferring to communicate through a process of dreams, visions, and other mystic experiences. The Goddess of Moonlight is truly spiritual and ephemeral being who evades any attempt to define her and whose serenity surrounds her like a mantle of moondust.
Deep Sashelas
Deep Sashelas was an elven deity who made his home on Arvandor, although he was rumored to maintain a demesne off the coast of the Moonshae Isles known as Tír faoi Thoinn. He was heavily involved with the lives of the sea peoples and spent most of his time with deities from that realm. He gave one group of Corellon's creations the ability to breathe and live underwater, wishing to see the wisdom and goodness of the elves prevail in the deeper and wilder realms of the sea. He was heavily involved in the constant reshaping of the ocean depths, creating reefs and islands, tinkering with undersea volcanoes and the like.
Deep Sashelas was a political deity; he made considerable efforts to maintain the unity of the Asathalfinare and was on good terms with non-evil human sea and water deities. He had a special enmity for Sekolah, the sahuagin god and for Panzuriel whom he helped banish and weaken.
Labelas Enoreth
Labelas Enoreth, or the Lord of the Continuum, is the chaotic good, elven deity who governs the orderly passage of time and guards against those who would alter the path of history. Together with Sehanine Moonbow he oversees the long life span of the elves and their lives after they have left the mortal realms. His symbol is the setting sun.
He is a philosopher, a patient teacher and instructor, who gives wisdom and knowledge to young and old alike. He is often praised but rarely invoked. Those who worship him are those with an interest in ideas and knowledge, and the changes wrought by the passage of time - sages, historians, philosophers, and librarians.
Rillifane Rallathil
Rillifane Rallathil is the elven god of protection of woodlands and the guardian of the harmony of nature. His priests liken him to a giant ethereal oak tree so huge that its roots mingle with every other plant, which stands in the heart of Arvandor. The great tree draws into itself all the ebb and flow of the season and the lives within the woodlands of the green elves. At the same time it defends and protects those lands against disease, predation and assault of all kinds. The Leaflord is the patron of the Sy'Tel'Quessir and revered by many voadkyn. The Leaflord is quiet, reflective and enduring over eons unchanged. He is the least flighty of the Seldarine, the least likely to act on a whim, and often grave and self-absorbed. Rillifane's avatar manifests only rarely, disliking direct action and preferring to act through his priests. When he does, it is usually in response to an attack on an elven habitat, and is heralded by sudden gusts of winds shaking leaves from trees.
Solonor Thelandira
Solonor Thelandira is the elven god of hunting, archery, and survival in wild and harsh places. He teaches his followers the arts of hunting; including archery, moving unseen and hiding in the wild places. He watches over the borders of wilderness and farmed land and seeks to maintain the balance between them. Solonor lives in the realm of Arvandor on the plane of Arborea.
Solonor is never in one place long, and is always hunting his quarry with his magical bow that can fire as far as the horizon and his quiver that never empties. He hunts not to kill for killing's sake but to maintain the balance of nature and to destroy evil. He does not close with foes, but tracks them and shoots from a distance. He can create an arrow of slaying, and if this strikes home it will kill all enemies. Many fiends have fallen to a single shot.
Erevan Ilesere
Erevan Ilesere was the elven god of mischief and rogues. Having lost power in the Spellplague, he became an exarch of Corellon. His titles included the Trickster and the Chameleon. As befitting his role and station, little is known about this fallen deity, many if his secrets remain with his followers and priests.
Fenmarel Mestarine
Fenmarel Mestarine is a member of the Seldarine, though he refuses to have any contact with them unless absolutely necessary. He is sullen and withdrawn, offering cynicism and distrust to almost any non-elf who he comes across. Many of his followers tend to look down and show a common disregard or dislike for any half-breed elf, not limited or excluding either human and elf breeds, or the cross breeding of the various elvish races.
Shevarash
Shevarash is the elven deity of revenge, loss and hatred of the Drow. He never displays any emotion aside from anger and the occasional exultation after the death of an enemy. The Black Archer is disdainful of moderation in the pursuit of revenge, and will often strike preemptively against his foes.
