In the years following the Second Age, a group of Elves led by an Elf queen named Mirandia elected to leave for the Feywilds, never to be heard from again. It was assumed that they perished in the chaos and wild magic of the Wilds. However, after many millennia, some began to trickle back. However, they had become much changed by thousands of years in the Feywilds, having been imbued with the magic of that strange and alien realm, and they were now referred to as the Eladrin.
Eladrin appearance follows motifs related to the four seasons. Some Eladrin can change their "motif" by choice while others do it based on their mood (or have their forms change with the seasons), while others cannot change it at all. This change will extend to their clothes and any tools and weapons which they currently possess.
