Corellon Larethian - Relationships

Relationships

In many campaign settings, the elven pantheon of gods (also known as the Seldarine) consists of the leader Corellon Larethian, as well as Aerdrie Faenya, Deep Sashelas, Erevan Ilesere, Fenmarel Mestarine, Hanali Celanil, Labelas Enoreth, Rillifane Rallathil, Sehanine Moonbow, and Solonor Thelandira. Other elven gods may be present in different campaign settings.

Corellon is considered to be foremost among the Seldarine. His consort is Sehanine Moonbow. Some myths claim that Corellon gave birth to the rest of his pantheon in his female aspect, while others claim that he fathered them on Sehanine Moonbow. He raised Ye'Cind to the status of demigod by infusing him with a spark of his own power.

Gruumsh One-Eye, god of the orcs, is his greatest enemy, because Corellon took his eye in an ancient battle. The entire orc pantheon hates Corellon intensely. Corellon also opposes the deities of the goblinoids.

Corellon was also the one to banish the drow goddess Lolth (Araushnee in the Forgotten Realms setting) to the Abyss. For this, he can count all evil drow gods as enemies.

Because of his keen friendship with the Seelie Court, Corellon often finds himself at odds with the Queen of Air and Darkness. Corellon's truest friends are the rulers of the other demihuman pantheons: Moradin, Yondalla, and Garl Glittergold. Together, they work to ensure that the gods of the human and monstrous pantheons don't grow strong too quickly.

Corellon is also allied with Cyrrollalee, Ehlonna, Emmantiensien, Oberon, Pelor, Skerrit, and Titania.

Corellon is also on good terms with Vanathor, Bahamut's gold dragon advisor and bard.

In the Forgotten Realms, Corellon has most often been at odds with Cyric, Talos, Malar, and Moander.

With the 2004 publication of "The Complete Divine", Corellon Larethian added the domain of "Community" to his existing domains of Good, War, Protection and Chaos.

In 4th edition, Corellon is one of the "Four Free Gods", along with his bride Sehanine, Avandra and Melora. He is on good terms with Ioun (he is patron of arcane magic and she of its study), and is therefore a potential foe of Vecna. He maintains cordial relationships with the other seasonal gods, Pelor and the Raven Queen. His most hated enemies, of course, are Gruumsh and Lolth.
