Astral Elves
Astral Elves were a variety of elves native to the Astral Plane. They traced their roots to the Feywild like other elves, but were very different from their terrestrial brethren. The millennia they spent within the Astral Plane imbued them with a spark of divine energy, bestowed upon them by divine powers. Because astral elves lived closer in proximity to their gods, they each had a notable starry gleam in their eyes.
Personality
Just as other living beings, astral elves did not age while within the Astral Plane. Their longevity―which often surpassed that of Torillian elves up to thousands of years―granted them unique outlooks on time and existence. This manifested in feelings of depression in some elves or apathy in others. Yet some kept away concerns over existential dread by exploring personal creativity, living introspective lives enriched by peaceful meditation, or set out to explore the far-off planes of the multiverse.
Society
Like other beings, astral elves traveled away from the Deep Astral in order to procreate and raise their children to a certain age.
Astral elves utilized spelljammers such as star moths―crafted from unique botanic and crystalline substances―to travel across both the Astral Plane and the far-off reaches of wildspace. It was there that they collected starlight, which they used to power and repair their vessels, known as Star Moths.
History
Long ago groups of elves traveled away from their home in the Feywild to the Astral Plane, with the hope of becoming closer to their gods. They were said to be among the first creatures to take up permanent residence within the plane known to some as the Silver Void. Throughout their existence, astral elf civilizations have repeatedly defended themselves from horrific monstrosities and invasion forces, such as psurlons, illithids, and githyanki.
At some point, an entire fleet of astral elf vessels arrived at The Rock of Bral, warning the captains of the docked spelljammers against intervening upon their invasion of a single planet.
Notable Astral Elves
The astral elf empire, known as The Xaraxyian Empire was led by Emperor Xavan until his death when his heirs, Prince Xeleth and Princess Xedalli contested ruleship, which was eventually ended by three astral elves, Fritz Pfefferhasen, Elyn, Ravinia, and their band of heroes.
