#shiere eladrin

[somelazyassartist]

Finally updating my Elf (and Elf-Adjacent) Ear Headcanons to fit my newer art style and also adding some ones that weren't included in my old charts :] this is just appearance-wise, I have a lot of other thoughts about Elf speculative biology :]

⤷ Alyssa gained her powers from her Mother, a powerful archfey and a respected noble eladrin. Alyssa was raised as a shiere knight, to protect and defend the Feywild with her abilities. Her curiousity of the Forgotten Realms couldn't be killed, however, and one night she decided to leave the Fey behind, only to find herself with a tadpole in the brain. Now she's on the run, from transformation, the Absolute's cultists, and her furious Mother dearest.

The shiere are the loyal knights of the Feywild. These sidhe are created from the reborn soul of an elf who swore their undying service to an archfey. They rule over fiefdoms within the Feywild, mustering armies and defending borders from whatever evils might threaten their homes.

The sidhe are a variety of fey that I have created to fill in a serious gap in Dungeons and Dragons lore. While D&D has always had plenty of extra-planar creatures to populate their most important realms, such as devils for Hell and demons for the Abyss, the Feywild has never really had something equivalent. There have only ever been a small smattering of low level fey creatures that have consistently shown up in D&D lore, and not once has there ever been an iconic variety of fey that could be said to command others in the way that demon lords and archdevils can. Hence, the sidhe.

The sidhe are drawn primarily from the celestial eladrin of 2nd and 3rd edition, though a handful of fey from other sources have been folded into the blanket term.

Celestial Eladrin

I’ve been scouring DnD wiki for celestials to update into 5e and I stumbled across the celestial eladrins and decided they looked fun so this is my first take on them. Think regulars eladrin but celestials instead of fey and they can turn into incorporeal forms like light or fire.

Oh to be a Shiere Knight for their Tulani Lord/Lady,,,,,, blah blah blah intricate rituals undying devotion risking everything for the person you swear loyalty to blah blah blah

[somelazyassartist]

Nyeheheh homebrewing is so much fun........ Especially when it's something I already love a lot............

[somelazyassartist]

Now that Fae Eladrin are finally starting to see some love I'm literally begging for the other kinds of Eladrin to come back. Please. Eladrin society is one of my major hyperfixations please I need to see people make Coure or Firre or Shiradi or Shiere or Ghaele or any other kind of Eladrin ocs. Or hell, even some Eladrin-Aasimar (Eladrin/Human hybrid) or some Celadrin (Eladrin/Elven hybrid) (<- because again Eladrin are NOT Elves, they only share a common ancestor with Elves, and are typically referred to as "cousins". The term "Elf" used for an Eladrin is mostly a colloquial phrasing for ease of acknowledging their shared ancestors, even though they evolved into a completely different type of creature. Thank you Monsters of the Multiverse stats for clarifying that better than Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes stats. Celadrin are to Eladrin/Elf pairings what Half-Elves are to Human/Elf pairings basically). Please I need to see more love for the lesser-known beauties of the Eladrin species

[somelazyassartist]

Also I'm just gonna make this short because I have way too many thoughts but I think it's really interesting how like,, a mix of nature and nurture come into play in a lot of Eladrin's "roles" in society (not strictly upheld in most cases but more in the sense that they're very common patterns). I'm just gonna use the Shiere as an example because they're probably the most obvious example. Like,,, Shiere usually end up being Knights or other some such position of guarding, protecting, or guiding. In one sense, this is partially nurture; most are trained from a fairly young age (for Eladrin) to fit said roles. But also it is so clearly a nature thing as well to them. Like, in the sense that if you get a sled dog it will want to pull sleds, or a herding dog will want to herd, or a truffle pig will want to search for truffles- not beholden to those roles but in that same sense will a Shiere WANT to wield weapons, because it is in their nature to feel most comfortable with a sword in their hand. A Shiere gets offered a job to be a Tulani's bodyguard and will think "oh fuck yes there is going to be so much enrichment in my enclosure"

[somelazyassartist]

I've gotten a lot more work done on homebrew Eladrin stuff!!! I got the Coure, Bralani, Noviere, Shiere, Firre, Shiradi, and Tulani character stats done, as well as some "quirk tables" for Eladrin-Descended Aasimar (they don't have any mechanical component but!! I like it when there are tables- like in the Fairy race, Shadow Sorcerer, or Fey Wanderer Ranger- that let you add something cool to your character just for fun! Plus since Celestial Eladrin bloodlines can lead to Aasimars sometimes I just think it'd be neat if a bit more of their Celestial heritage stood out a bit)!! I still need to do the Celadrin, Half-Elf Variants, and possibly remake the Fey Eladrin if I decide that's worth it lmao!!

They're sorta different from a lot of player races (because let's be honest, they're Celestials, they're INCREDIBLY powerful), and it's hard to dumb down their abilities too much without taking away a lot of what I love about Eladrin, so I sorta tried to do a different way of balancing things? So basically: yes, these player races are INCREDIBLY powerful. However: the more powerful you are, the more drawbacks you have. Certain abilities can't be used wearing armor so that puts your AC lower, sometimes you'll have to risk doing damage to yourself as well when you attack someone else, sometimes you've got disadvantage on certain ability checks for one reason or another, all stuff like that, y'know?? So I'm hoping that helps balance them in a way that's like, yeah you're awesome but you've also got drawbacks y'know?? I'm hoping that makes sense haha, but I've been having a lot of fun playing around with em!!

[somelazyassartist]

I stg one of these days I'm just gonna snap and make homebrew versions of all the stuff I'm severely disappointed in the lack of content for. I want Half-Eladrin options. I want a proper Fey Eladrin player race instead of the one that just got lumped in with the normal Elf races. I want elaboration on what the fuck the non-humanoid Eladrin look and act like. I want a player race of the Celestial Eladrin, complete with the Coure, Bralani, Noviere, Shiere, Firre, Ghaele, Shiradi, and Tulani subraces. I want expansion on how exactly they evolved from High Elves into being Eladrin. And like, so much more stuff that really has potential but just isn't expanded on as much as I'd like.
