Labelas appreciates people who work to educate people of their history and who teach that death is necessary to give life meaning.Labelas’ scions are rare even amongst elves, as the spectre of far-away death he represents is quietly shunned by the changeable children of Corellon until they reach the end of their long lives and begin to wonder what comes next.
