Ive been considering rebuilding Eladrin as Tuatha de Danann for 5e. Not sure what brings them together, though, as a race. At least in terms that can translate to dnd. Obviously a PC Tuatha would be a minor member of the race. It would be cool to be related to gods, though, IMO.

I always thought of the 4e Eladrin as part of a general 'Fey' that are much like that. Its hard to say how many of the Arch Fey are 'Eladrin' or if that even means much to them (are the gods humans, doesn't really matter).

I'm a toaster, but my grandpappy was 4e?
My wife has a gnome inventor, spell-blade, and thief, in 4e era FR who is set apart by two things, from other gnome inventor-thieves who stab things in a fight.
1. She has a familial grudge against Netheril, and the Theives Guild to which she belongs is a front for a resistance group.
2. She invented a semi-intelligent construct creature that can reconstruct itself into a snail shaped vehicle, or a humanoid sentinel with a heated pneumatic hammer arm. "He" uses warforged Knight stats, more or less, with some fire enchanted hammer or other, and is known only as The Toaster.
oh, and she makes a giant sword as tall as a quite tall human fly around attacking enemies for her, and when she uses healing infusions, she throws them at people's heads. She is....the best character.

Of course, HotFw already establish 'Tuahta' as feywild-born humans, but that's no impediment to having the Pantheon actually /be/ Fey, and Eladrin could easily be the many Tuatha who were implied to exist, but never portrayed as divine.
Would it be a reversal of the myth, with the Tuatha de Dannan coming to Erie from the Feywild and being driven back there, rather than being native to the world and driven inside the Sidhe?
Would the Fir Bolg come into it?
I've completely blurred the line between Fey & Arch Fey (I quite liked the Sidhe Lord idea) and Fey & Deities, and the Feywild and Arvandor, actually. The PC party is all fey, and they've visited Arvandor. I was like "it feels exactly like the Feywild, you can't place where in the feywild you are, not that that's ever a given, but it definitely seems like you're there, you don't feel the 'Dominion' pulling at you like you did in Celestia or Hevastar..." The non-fey Exalted of Arvandor didn't glow, they just seemed to be fey. The exalted /did/ come back from the dead the next day after The Glorious Hunt, most of them, anyway. But that's not exactly unheard of in the Feywild, either.
I'd already established that time and geography barely mean anything in the Feywild, and had several adventures that illustrated, dramatically, the many worlds/one Feywild concept.

They are one of the few sources in legend and myth where D&D level magic actually works fairly well.
Lugh was only half Tuatha half Fomor and became the Tuathan king. His stories were probably pre-Odin but inspired and maybe mixed with it they are similar characters on many fronts, there is also some linguistic indicators he is the pre-christian Lancelot who went in to the other world with Arthur seeking the holy grail which was the Cauldron of the Goddess from which all life sprang .. and if that isnt confusing enough ... well his son Cu Culaine is his reincarnation... and the lot of them are spear wielding specialists.
