D&D 5E Any good source books for an elven kingdom that I can drop into a homebrew 5e game?

[MNblockhead]

Without going into a lot of detail of my homebrew world, the elves left the continent where I ran my first campaign, long before the date in which the campaign took place. In my next campaign, I want a plot arc that leads to discovering this isolated refuge. But I would rather not create everything from scratch.

Are there any source books that gives a detailed elf-focused setting. Even better if it is closed off, mostly, to non-elves.

The xenophobic elf city of Syngorn in Critical Role's 3PP Tal'Dorei sourcebook might fit the bill.

 

[TwiceBorn2]

Corwyl, Village of the Wood Elves... though it's probably not as closed off as you would like it to be.

Closer to the mark might be Midnight: Fury of Shadow (which, among other things, details the realms of the reclusive elvenfolk of that setting).

Also worth a look: The Elves of Alfheim and Birthright: Player's Secrets of Tuarhievel (the Birthright campaign setting box/PDF would be helpful for context).

Court of the Shadow Fey and wrath of the river king might be good to mine for ideas depending on the flavor you want.

No one has mentioned the Elves of Evermeet? You can also play in their abandoned capital in Ruins of Myth Drannor.

 

[FallenRX]

Elves of Alfheim from Mystara.

Tight 100 pages, with a full hexmap, easily importable to any setting, simple unique mechanics, traits, and a good gazetteer of the whole nation, on top of this, comes with good sets of adventure ideas in the back, that leave open flexibility to the DM.

A great book.

Oh! Thanks for reminding me of that. I have that book, but only in paper format. When I get back home in a week, I'll have to check it out.

Thanks! I've bookmarked or wishlisted all of them.

I've booked marked both. Court of the Shadow Fey looks great and I am a fan of Kobold Press. Will definitely check it out.

Looks great! I've added it to my DMs Guild / DTRPG wish list.
