They're very different in concepts and lore, and eladrin in 4e never fit well with established grey elves, silvanesti, sun elves, etc. Eladrin existed because WotC thought players were too dumb to understand the difference between two types of elves and that having wood elves and high elves was confusing. So they took the Elrond elves and made them eladrin and kept the Legolas elves as elves.As reasons go it was pretty lame.That said, I think there's a place for 4e eladrin in the game. I love the idea of a high fey race. It's something D&D was missing, mostly having pixies and other small folk as faeries. But they might be an "advanced" race, something better than a normal race. Being able to teleport is pretty big. The only way it would work would be gaining that at level 5 and only being able to once per day. The name is problematic though, as it was stolen from a type of angel. So either the angel gets renamed or eladrin get renamed. Or they try and mix the two which seems like a recipe for disaster, either forcing an angelic background on fey or forcing a fey background on a celestial.</blockquote>
