In this episode of Roll for Lore, we journey into the timeless world of the elves, one of the most ancient and influential peoples in Dungeons & Dragons. Known for their grace, longevity, and deep connection to the Weave of magic, elves have shaped the history of Faerûn since its earliest days. We explore their real-world inspirations from myth and folklore, their evolution through every edition of D&D, and the vast variety of elven subraces—from the radiant sun elves of Evermeet to the shadowed drow of the Underdark. Along the way, we meet their gods, like Corellon Larethian, and uncover the tragedies and triumphs that define their immortal lives. Whether you’re drawn to their artistry, their mystery, or their enduring struggle between light and dark, this episode celebrates the beauty and complexity of the elves—D&D’s eternal wanderers of the stars and the forest.
