Grey Elves
I'm new to this, so I'm hoping that I'm posting this in the right place. Does anyone know if Grey Elves exist in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting? If so, where can they be found?
 * Grey elves are from Tolkiens setting in Lord of the Rings, see Sindar - but pretty much the Moon elves would be the Forgotten Realms equivelant. Zerak talk 19:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Sand elves?
Regarding this revision, does anyone have a reference for sand elves? Fw190a8 23:23, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Doing a google search suggest that they're from Everquest and other settings, highly doubt they're from the Realms, good revert Zerak talk 14:54, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Added template
I've added a template to easily reach the elven subraces, and revamped the list of subraces near the bottom of the article. Comments welcome! Fw190a8 04:04, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Looks real good Focke! My only suggestion would be to move it to the "Subraces" subsection (try saying that five times fast). I especially like the use of the sidebar, it mixes thigns up as most of the templates are at the bottom of articles. Johnnyriot999 17:42, 6 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Please go right ahead and recategorize. You're a lot more familiar with them than I, definitely! Fw190a8 10:39, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh no no, I just meant to move the template within the article itself. I changed it so you can see what I mean. It looks a bit awkward now but when the article is referenced I think it'll look better and a bit more filled out. Johnnyriot999 15:11, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Eladrin and Drow are also Elves
I've modified the "otheruses" template at the top since both drow and eladrin are also consider to be part of the greater "elf" race. 00:48, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Sugested Move
Should we rename this page Tel'Quessir and make a note at the top of Elf, Drow and Eladrin Hurtzbad 00:55, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Star Elves
What's about Star Elves? At least they existed in Realmspace (maybe are still roaming around there) and some of them found their way to Evermeet helping them to create flying ships and fighting back dragons of a dracorage (described in E.Cunninghams Evermeet) Historicus 15:59, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not quite sure what you mean. We have an article on them, but they're eladrin, not elves. Niirfa-sa 17:44, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Maybe they should be included into the article as a part "Eladin". Never got the idea to look into that ela article for them, because they are still called elves. Therefore I assume that many people will take a look into this article, searching for informations about elves and their subraces. A Moon elf is an elf, because they are called elf, a Star elf is an elf, because they are called elf. Eladin seems to be only another "new" subrace, for whatever that is worth. It's Ok to give them their own article, but since the old name is still in use and most sources still use it, people will refer to them as what they actually are called.

 * Consensus awhile ago, as this thread shows, resulted in the creation of the Tel-quessir article. According to 4e, elves and eladrin are different races. Eladrin are not a subrace. Nor are drow. They're entirely different races. Yes, it's a retcon. But look at it this way - sun elves and moon elves (as well as star elves) were always very different crunch-wise and fluff-wise from wood elves and wild elves. Niirfa-sa 19:56, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
