I'm going to start a Zeitgeist campaign in 5e, and I'm wondering what to do with Eladrin (which don't exist in 5e) and High Elves (which aren't mentioned in Zeitgeist).
What's the most natural way to embed Zeitgeist in 5e?
A few choices I could make are:
Or maybe there's some other choice. What would you do?

A few choices I could make are:
- Eladrin in; high elves out: Eladrin mechanics can simply be those of High Elves but without the cantrip and with a 4e-esque fey step; players cannot pick the High elf as written. Downside: takes away a standard PHB choice from the players.
- Eladrin and high elves are seperate but related: I can rule Eladrin are like High elves, but without the cantrip and with fey step (aka misty step); this leaves High Elves in the setting - but where to put them? Downside: need to fit a new, fairly common race into the setting: high elves.
- Eladrin *are* High Elves: No mechanical or settings changes needed. Downside: High Elves can't teleport, so quite a bit of fluff is incongruous or needs replacing. It lessens the impact of the gold-ring limitation, and that was a neat invention, really.
Or maybe there's some other choice. What would you do?
