When finishing a long rest, any eladrin can change their season. Some eladrin remain associated with a particular season for their entire lives, whereas other eladrin transform, adopting characteristics of a new season.
Summer is the season of boldness and aggression, a time of unfettered energy. Spring is the season of cheerfulness and celebration, marked by merriment as winter's sorrow passes. Winter is the season of contemplation and dolor, when the vibrant energy of the world slumbers. Autumn is the season of peace and goodwill, when summer's harvest is shared with all. An eladrin is associated with one of the four seasons and has coloration reminiscent of that season, which can also affect the eladrin's mood: You can speak, read, and write Common and Elven.Įladrin are elves native to the Feywild, a realm of beauty, unpredictable emotion, and boundless magic. You have proficiency in the Perception skill. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep. The Common word for this meditation is "trance." While meditating, you dream after a fashion such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive after years of practice. Instead they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. 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. Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds.
Drow are an exception their exile into the Underdark has made them vicious and dangerous. They value and protect others' freedom as well as their own, and are good more often than not. Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly towards the gentler aspects of chaos. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old. 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. Elves love nature and magic, art and artistry, music and poetry.
Elves are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in places of ethereal beauty, in the midst of ancient forests or in silvery spires glittering with faerie light, where soft music drifts through the air and gentle fragrances waft on the breeze.
