This whole mess we've seen in this video is the result of desperately struggling to reconcile the Feywild, a workable and enjoyable Plane of Faerie that has finally forced itself into the default planar setup, with the Great Wheel's setup, where Eladrin were nothing more than Chaotic Good angels who happened to look like elves.By trying to make Eladrin closer to their Planescape depiction, yet at the same time not invalidate their superior 4e depiction, where they are the original strain of elf and Planescape style eladrin are simply Eladrin Paragons who have attained royal titles and through it access to great magic, you get this clumsy mishmash of lore that is... well, it's not as blatantly elf-supremacist as their lore in the Complete Book of Elves, so it has that going for it, but that's about all it has going for it.</blockquote>
