Description

Celadrin were a planetouched race that resulted from the union of elves and eladrins (usually firre). Many of the celadrins encountered outside of their homes were warriors, though they were also known for their skill as bards.

Society

Celadrins were usually found living with sun elves, although a few were known to wander the world before eventually settling down in distant elven settlements. They usually lived in communities with prominent temples to Hanali Celanil, and tended to venerate her as their patron deity, though they worshiped the entire Seldarine pantheon as well.

When forced to fight, they were cautious warriors who tried to first learn as much of their enemy as possible. They then used that to find the most optimum time and location to fight, using ambushes, stealth, and hit-and-run tactics. Celadrins preferred to use longswords, rapiers, and longbows and shortbows in a melee fight, and their wizards often used sleep spells due to their kin's resistance.

Other than reproducing amongst themselves, celadrins also propagated from the union of elves with eladrin, typically during the height of the summer solstice and consummated at Hanali Celanil's more wild revels.

History

It was said that many celadrins could trace their origin back to the height of Myth Drannor, a time of liberation and understanding. After the fall of Myth Drannor, celadrins moved to Deepingdale and Lake Sember. They also originated from other communities with prominent temples to Hanali Celanil, such as Evermeet and Evereska.

The Church of the Winsome Rose had celadrin warlocks among its defenders. In the late 14th century DR, at least three had became eldritch theurges, who tried to restore love among elven races in Cormanthor.

During the same time period, one celadrin was also known to be a member of the Kaliesh-Erai, a psionic elven organization located in Evereska.

Celadrin traits

Your Celadrin character has a number of traits in common with all other celadrin.

• Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 2, your Dexterity increases by 1 and your Constitution decreases by 1.

• Age. Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.

• Alignment. Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others' freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good than not.

• Size. Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.

• Darkvision. Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

• Keen Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

• Fey Ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep. Moreover, you have resistance to fire damage.

• Fiery gaze. You know the Scorching Ray spell. It is always prepared and it doesn't count against the number of spells you know. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest

• Trance. Elves don't need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is "trance.") While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

• Elf Weapon Training. You have proficiency with the longsword, shortsword, shortbow, and longbow.

• Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
