[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 6393089, member: 42582"] Huh? Is the Blood War mentioned in the 3E or 3.5 MMs? I don't remember it being very prominent in either. The Blood War is discussed in muliple 4e sourcebooks, including The Manual of the Planes, The Plane Above and the Demonomicon. So I'm confused as to what you mean by "no Blood War in settings". I already discussed this above - evil elementals aren't a re-imagining of Jeff Grubb's archons, they're a re-use of the old label for a new creature. There is nothing in 4e that would stop a fan of the old archons continuing to use them as servants of Moradin and Bahamut. Likewise, nothing in 4e stops anyone using "guardinals" as servitors of Pelor in Hestavar. ANd this is an instance of exactly what I'm talking about. Eladrin in 4e are a race of mercurial fey beings who live on another plane that is (on balance) a plane of light rather than shadow. They are inherently magical - like many eladrin in 3E, they can teleport themselves, and have other magical abilities too (I refer you to the eladrin entries in the 4e MM and MM2). This is not an abaondoning or "disrespecting" of what has gone before. It is a re-presentation of it. [/QUOTE]
