Don't like the kind of things the god goes for, but it's a great, interesting article that gets my brain juices flowing.That's the exact problem I have with 4e's Corellon. He has the same name and is associated with magic and things with pointy ears, and... Uh, that's the end of the resemblance. It's not even just like the real Corellon Larethian of previous versions. Where's my beloved CG Corellon Larethian, patron of arts and music and magic and fighting and all things elven? Forgotten Realms I guess. Which, yeah, they changed his symbol too, to that incredibly dull eight-pointed star. I liked the crescent moon. :<I wonder to this day who drew the picture of Corellon Larethian in 3e's D&DG, why he or she thought the eyeshadow, terrible anatomy, holding a longsword in his left hand and a longbow in his right, and the disturbing resemblance to Hillary Clinton was a good idea, and who on the art staff also thought it was a good idea and approved it. (The image has spawned the nickname Clintellon Hilarian amongst my group. *facepalm*)My favourite illustration of a god is unsurprisingly of Corellon, it's the Todd Lockwood image that's on the cover of 2E FR's Demihuman Deities, with him putting Gruumsh's eye out. It's a great image of a iconic scene with the two of them.Though I also have a soft spot for the illustration in the Planscape book On Hallowed Ground. Sure, it's like the stereotypical frilly pansy elf image, but, well, yeah. It's Corellon. He's *the* frilly pansy elf. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />(Yes, yes I am a Corellon Larethian fanboy.)Speaking of which, despite my annoyance with 4e's core Corellon bearing only a vague resemblance to the old one, I can't wait for them to do an article like this on him. I wanna hear more about him, see if that changes my mind. And of course see if the new one bears any physical resemblance to the old one, and whether he gets a good picture or the traditional terrible one. And whether they bring back the old thing with him being male, female, both and neither. >DThough yeah, looking forward to more of these on any of the new gods. The wealth of information available on most of the gods in the older editions makes playing a cleric a lot more fun.</blockquote>
