[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 3755844, member: 1288"] Just another random thought... We're still looking at this in a vacuum. We have no idea what other changes might've inspired the change in the eladrin. If alignment is becoming less of a factor, for instance, there might be no purpose to having multiple celestial types. The bralani and ghaele might just be types of angels. Or, consider this possibility. Perhaps the eladrin known to dwell amongst mortals are simply the weakest of their kin, the fey that interact most frequently with the material plane. In other worlds, places with strange names like Arcadia and Arborea, far more alien eladrin, with powers beyond those comprehensible to mortals and strange titles like "ghaele" and "bralani," are said to dwell. This allows for both the PC eladrin and the more potent ones who--except for being "fey" rather than "outsiders"--still serve more or less the same purpose in the multiverse. Not that I think that's actually what's happening (though it might be cool if it was), but my point is, we lack anything even vaguely approaching context for this (or any other) change. :) [/QUOTE]
