Elf Deities

Corellon

Corellon or more fully Corellon Larethian, whose titles included Creator of the Elves and the Protector, was the patron god of all fey. He was the creator and preserver of the Tel'Quessir, governing those things held in the highest esteem among eladrin and elves, such as magic, music, arts, crafts, poetry, and warfare. Corellon lived in the realm of Arvandor. He approved of those who killed orcs and followers of Lolth, blessed those who aided others and became angered at those who defiled the dead, or fled from their foes.[

Aerdrie Faenya
Aerdrie Faenya (air-dree fah-ane-yuh), the elven goddess of the air, weather, and birds, is chaotic good. She is also called the Winged Mother and the Lady of Air and Wind. Stories say that she was revered in times past by the legendary winged avariel elves, but now she is mainly venerated by those elves who are interested in the weather, especially druids and rangers, and by those elves who either possess winged mounts or have befriended flying creatures. The domains associated with her are Air, Animal, Chaos, Elf, Good, and Storm, and her favored weapon is the quarterstaff.

Angharradh
The elven goddess of fertility, birth, and wisdom, Angharradh (on-gahr-rath), is chaotic good. She is known as the Triune Goddess and the Queen of Arvandor. She combines the aspects of three elven goddesses, Aerdrie Faenya, Hanali Celanil, and Sehanine Moonbow, but she is an entity distinct from them, as they are beings separate from her. She is revered almost exclusively by moon elves and moon half-elves, who believe that she is the consort of Corellon Larethian. The domains associated with her are Chaos, Elf, Good, Knowledge, Plant, Protection, and Renewal, and her favored weapons are the longspear
and shortspear.

Deep Sashelas
Deep Sashelas (deep sa-sheh-lahs), the elven god of oceans and sea elves, is chaotic good. His titles include the Lord of the Undersea and the Dolphin Prince. He is the patron of sea elves and is friendly towards all nonevil sea-dwelling races as well as their deities. He and his followers have an especially good relationship with dolphins. He teaches his followers to defend the homelands of the sea elves and their allies against undersea races that are bent on their destruction, as well as to protect and to revel in the serene and unique beauty found only underwater. The domains associated with him are Chaos, Elf, Good, Knowledge, Ocean, and Water, and his favored weapon is the trident

Erevan Ilesere
The elven god of mischief and rogues, Erevan Ilesere (air-eh-van ill-eh-seer), is chaotic neutral. His titles include the Trickster and the Chameleon. He is an ever-changing god, always looking for some exciting new adventure or mischief to engage in. His fun-loving and prankish nature has somewhat strained his relationships with his fellow elven deities, and as a result he spends most of his time with deities who share similar mischievous outlooks. His followers are always looking for new sources of excitement and are notorious adventurers and pranksters. The domains associated with him are Chaos, Elf, Luck, and Trickery, and his favored weapon is the shortsword

Fenmarel Mestarine
Fenmarel Mestarine (fehn-muh-rehl mess-tuh-reen), the elven god
of outcasts and isolation, is chaotic neutral. Those who have left traditional elven society, either intentionally or involuntarily, as well as elves who wish to isolate themselves from the outside world, worship him. He is the patron of wild elves and is worshiped by most members of that race, as well as outcast elves of all types. He teaches his followers to be self-sufficient, to forge their own path, and to cultivate the arts of camouflage and deception. The domains associated with him are Animal, Chaos, Elf, Plant, and Travel, and his favored weapon is the dagger.

Hanali Celanil
The elven goddess of love, beauty, and art, Hanali Celanil (han-uh-lee sell-uh-nihl), is chaotic good. Her titles include the Heart of Goldand Lady Goldheart. She is a joyful deity and delights especially in the creation of beautiful things and in the intense love of youth. She exhorts her followers to spread love, happiness, and beauty and to defend against those who would destroy these things. She is on good terms with Sharess and Sune, with whom she has friendly arguments over the merits of elven versus human beauty. The domains associated with her are Chaos, Charm, Elf, Good, Magic, and Protection,
and her favored weapon is the dagger.

Labelas Enoreth
The elven god of time and longevity, Labelas Enoreth (lah-bay-lahsehn-or-eth), is chaotic good. His titles include the Lifegiver and the Sage at Sunset. It was he who blessed the elves with their longevity, their seemingly eternal youth, and their wisdom. He is a teacher, a historian, and a sage, and is revered by folk in those professions. He and his followers mark the passage of time and history. They do not forget the slights of the past and often right wrongs that more short-lived races have long forgotten. The domains associated with him are Chaos, Elf, Good, Knowledge, and Time, and his chosen weapon is the quarterstaff.

Rillifane Rallathil
Rillifane Rallathil (rill-ih-fane rall-uh-thihl), the elven god of woodlands, nature, and wood elves, is chaotic good. His titles include the Leaflord, the Wild One, and the Great Oak. He is often portrayed as a huge, ethereal oak tree whose roots and branches touch every living plant and who succors and nourishes all living things. He and his followers believe that all things should be free to live out their lives as nature ordained, and as a result they fiercely protect untouched places, especially the great forests and the creatures therein, from all who would despoil them. The domains associated with him are Chaos, Good, Elf, Plant, and Protection, and his favored weapon is the quarterstaff.

Sehanine Moonbow
Sehanine Moonbow (seh-ha-neen moon-boe), the elven goddess of mysticism, dreams, death, journeys, and the moon, is chaotic good. Her titles include the Daughter of the Night Skies, the Goddess of Moonlight, and the Lady of Dreams. A quiet and mystical goddess, it is said that her tears, mingled with Corellon’s blood, gave life to the elven race. She watches over the dreams of the elves and protects those who go on long journeys, including the final journey of death. She is the goddess of subtle magic such as divinations and illusions, and her association with moonlight makes her especially beloved by the moon elves. The domains associated with her are Chaos, Elf, Good, Illusion, Knowledge, Moon, and Travel, and her favored weapon is the quarterstaff.

Shevarash
Shevarash (shev-uh-rash), the elven god of vengeance, loss, and hatred of the drow, is chaotic neutral. His titles include the Black
Archer and the Night Hunter. He was once a mortal elf whose family and friends were brutally killed during a drow attack. He swore vengeance, and he spent the rest of his life hunting drow and raiding their cities. Such was his dedication that he was made a god after his death. His worshipers follow in his footsteps, swearing to destroy the hated drow and fearlessly hunting them down even at the doorsteps of their own cities. The domains associated with him are Chaos, Elf, Retribution, and War, and his favored weapon is the longbow.

Which ones engage in coitus with which others? Surely there is a love triangle or three here somewhere.

There is but I made the brief as a starting point for players who might want to have elven deities for their elf or half-elf PCs. If they want to know more Google has much to teach the young padawan.

Beware googling for such information; it might lead a young padawon to the dark side of FR wiki, which is fraught with the dangers of 4e lore... which leads to confusion, then anger, which leads to hate, which leads to...
