Eladrin and other celestials in 5e
Regarding your question: Are eladrin mentioned in 5e?

They are! In pp. 285–286 of the Dungeon Master's Guide 5th edition, there are stats for it as an elf subrace for PCs. Incidentally, the book also refers to the plural form as eladrin. &mdash; Sirwhiteout (talk) 01:22, January 6, 2018 (UTC)

I couldn't find any mention of archons, guardinals or leShay on any 5e source so far, though. &mdash; Sirwhiteout (talk) 01:49, January 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for answering!


 * Is this eladrin subrace more similar to the celestial eladrin or the 4e eladrin, in your opinion?

 * Considering that they're basically elves that get to do misty step once per short rest (which is incidentally described as "fey step"), I'd say that's closer to the 4e eladrin. &mdash; Sirwhiteout (talk) 03:34, January 6, 2018 (UTC)

Devas
Do you mind if I help out by writing up the movanic deva? I have one as an NPC in my campaign, so I figure this would be a good opportunity to get to know more about her. :) But there's no rush on it, it can wait until you've got the celestials sorted out and clarified. — BadCatMan (talk) 07:59, January 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * Go for it! I'm working from the top of the hierarchy down now. ~ Lhynard (talk) 08:34, January 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * Okay. Looking at the lore, I could do the astral, monadic, and movanic devas of 1e/2e/3e. The 4e edition is utterly different, of course, and I don't know about 5e's. — BadCatMan (talk) 08:41, January 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * Great; perfect. Devas are a type of possessed aasimar in 4e. They are already treated with separate articles, and I spent time making sure that all the links and images correspond to the correct articles. For your purposes, just link everything to Deva (angel), not to Deva, and we'll be good. (I don't really like the page name "Deva (angel)", but it's what we have for the time being.


 * FYI, in 5e, there is only a single deva type so far, but, like 1e–3e, it's back to being an angel. It seems to be an astral deva, which matches 3e, which originally only statted the astral deva. In any case, I or Sirwhiteout can fill in the 5e stuff later.

 * By their description and purpose (silvery skin and hair, sent to the Material Plane, Feywild and Shadowfell to help others, polymorphing primarily to human and animal shapes), I'd say 5e's devas are most closely related with movanic devas, although they carry maces that are more common to the astral devas in previous editions. &mdash; Sirwhiteout (talk) 13:15, January 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * Good point ~ Lhynard (talk) 15:58, January 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * Odd. Are they called simple "devas"? Could they have merged the three kinds into one generic deva? — BadCatMan (talk) 01:35, January 7, 2018 (UTC)


 * They are simply called devas, yes. ~ Lhynard (talk) 01:49, January 7, 2018 (UTC)
