Unlike the rest of their kin, the Eladrin seem to have diverged from the rest of elven society before their schism. Thus, the Eladrin represent Elven kind before its split.  They are a matriarchal society who live in large family groups deep in the jungles of Borgash, amongst other regions of the Valley. Eladrin are a tribal, hunter-gatherer people, closest of all Elves to the Fey, which is so associated with these beings. Due to this deep infusion of magic and their passionate temperaments, they have the ability to take on the aspect of one of the legendary four seasons – depending on their mood. The Eladrin’s physical appearance, personality, and abilities are as changeable as the twisting, untamed magic of the Feywild itself. Each Eladrin is linked to one of the four seasons – Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer – and, depending on the season to which an Eladrin’s emotional state feels most closely linked, their whole appearance can change from one day to the next. A Spring Eladrin’s skin and hair will turn dazzling shades of green, and they are filled with such vibrance and joy that flowers and green shoots burst forth from the ground around them. In contrast, an Eladrin wearing the aspect of Winter is prone to bouts of melancholy and bitter rage, their skin and hair turn shades of cold blue and white. Some Eladrin “wear” a single season their entire lives, whereas others change their appearance in tune with the changing of the seasons. Other fey elves may slip from Autumn to Summer, from Winter to Spring as it suits their ever-changing moods, as easily as someone might throw on a new set of clothes. **ELADRIN APPEARANCE** At a surface level eladrin look quite a bit like other elves, though even more slender and their eyes tend to sparkle or shine which betrays their innate feywild magic. It’s the link between their emotions and their appearance that really sets them apart from other elves. There are broadly 4 “states” for an eladrin to be in, each one linked to a particular feeling and one of the 4 seasons. Some eladrin will spend their entire lives within a single “season” or “state”, while some will go back and forth between them as often as they change clothes. ## Spring Eladrin Eladrin in the spring state tend to have green skin and hair, their presence and aura is filled with new life to such an extent that young flowers and plant shoots may sprout around their bodies. This state is linked to joyful and playful emotions, celebrations, and cheerfulness. Eladrin in this state are often energetic, exuberant, optimistic, and prone to mischief while acting naive and careless to potential dangers. ## Summer Eladrin Eladrin in the summer state tend to have bright golden hair and skin, their presence and aura is intimidating and almost radiates heat. This state is linked to passionate and wrathful emotions, confrontations, and anger. Eladrin in this state are often enraged, motivated, vindictive, and ready to act against any threat. ## Autumn Eladrin Eladrin in the autumn state tend to have red or orange hair and skin, their features mimicking freshly fallen autumn leaves. This state is linked to peaceful and calming emotions, self-reflection, and measured resolutions. Eladrin in this state are level-headed, well-meaning, open-minded, and slow to act without careful thought. ## Winter Eladrin Eladrin in the winter state tend to have pale blue or white hair and skin, their features mimicking the rime and frost of the coldest depths of the year. This state is linked to sad and melancholy emotions, bitterness, and quiet contemplation. Eladrin in this state are gloomy, sorrowful, regretful, and are prone to lashing out, holding grudges, and crying frozen tears.
