Numerous factions make up the Court of Stars, and they play host to other Courts when the conclave meets. Tiandra, Queenof Summer, is the usual leader of the conclave, but the Court of Stars is NOT the same as the Summer Fey. This is all from Heroes of the Feywild.As for the eladrin...they have an extensive writeup in the Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix 2. I'll try to sum it up:Eladrin fall into two categories: Lesser (commoner) and Greater (nobility).Lesser eladrin include:Bralani - Elf-sized, the wild and most feral/passionate of their kind, traveling the deserts and forgotten places in bands reveling in unending dance of wind and sand, stopping only to play pranks or deal with unwanted I intruders, in wartime they act as scouts/Skirmishers Coure - Sprite-sized creatures of starlight, they are messengers, scouts, pranksters, and mischief-makers, they have a legendary sense of humor, close connection to the land and may linger in same grove or mountainside for centuries before moving on, serve as heralds, pages, messengersNoviere - man-sized (and dolphin form), they are aquatic but at home on land or at  sea, tied to the emerald waters of the world, straight-forward and approachable (for eladrin), sometimes journey to world to visit ocean nymphs or merfolk, a bit treasure fascinatedShiere - man-sized (but may change into a harmless ball or faerie light 1/hour, but prefer to maintain demihumans appearance), graceful knights who fight with honor, loyal to the Queen for the most part, by night they gather in bright companies to drive evil from Arborea (akin to the Wild Hunt), mounted on flying warhorses, most numerous of eladrin (or perhaps ties with Coure), cold as ice when dealing with those who don't measure up to their high standardsGreater eladrin include:Firre - man-sized, devoted to art, music, and magic (bards), wanderers and patrons of mortal artists,  usually travel alone, may journey to the mortal worldGhaele - man-sized (but may shed mortal guize to appear as swirling globe of eldritch colors, or revral eldritch wings with 20' wingspan), knights errands of the eladrin, work behind the scenes to quietly muster resistance to evil and tyranny, prefer to go unnoticed/keep mortal guise, serve as advisors to great Tulani lords, kind and compassionate but touched by seriousness and heavy-heart from dealings with mortalsTulani - man-sized (probably have other forms), the faerie lords who rule roving courts throughout Arborea, they are peaceful but have terrible majesty that makes their presence anathema to evil creatures, hard to find by mortals, autonomous courts where they are the ultimate authhority  answer only to the Queen of Stars Morwel (also called Faerie Queen, Lady of the Lake, or Lady of Stars).</blockquote>
