The Seldarine (Elvish for "fellowship of brothers and sisters of the wood") was the elven pantheon of gods that resided on the astral dominion of Arvandor under the leadership of Corellon Larethian.[2]
Members
The many members of the Seldarine included:
- Corellon Larethian, a greater god and leader of the Seldarine; he was the elven god of magic, warfare, music, art, and crafts.
- Angharradh, a greater goddess and consort to Corellon; commonly believed to be a combination of three other elven goddesses (Sehanine Moonbow, Aerdrie Faenya, and Hanali Celanil) formed when Lolth rebelled and was exiled.
- Aerdrie Faenya, intermediate goddess of the wind, weather, and avariel (winged elves).
- Hanali Celanil, intermediate goddess of romantic love, beauty, and joy.
- Sehanine Moonbow, intermediate goddess of the moon, dreams, mysteries, secrets, travel/journeys; she is also the protector of the elven dead and patron of the moon elves.
- Deep Sashelas, intermediate god of the seas and of the aquatic elves.
- Labelas Enoreth, intermediate deity of time, history, and knowledge.
- Rillifane Rallathil, intermediate god of nature, woodlands, and wild elves and/or wood elves.

The events of the Spellplague were hard on the Seldarine. Many of its members vanished mysteriously, including Rillifane. Sehanine became an aspect of Selûne,[9] while Hanali became an aspect of Sune and Aerdrie an aspect of Akadi[10]. Of the other elven deities, only Corellon and Angharradh retained their positions; Deep Sashelas, Labelas, Solonor, Erevan, Fenmarel, and Shevarash all became exarchs.
