The leader of the elven pantheon, Corellon Larethian is said to have given
birth to the entire elven race. Elven lore states that the Fair Folk sprang
from drops of blood Corellon shed in epic battles with Gruumsh mingled with
Sehanine's tears.

The Creator of the Elves embodies the highest ideals of elvenkind, and
he is the patron of most aesthetic endeavours, including art, magic, music,
poetry, and warfare. The Coronal is a powerful warrior god whose hands
protect his creations with the gentleness of a sculptor and the unspeakable
power of a master swordswinger.

Corellon never abandons his watchfulness. Only when it is time for the
Fair Folk to pass from Faerun to Arvandor does he finally cease watching
over each elf and allows Sehanine to take a larger role in caring for them.

Corellon is venerated by all the elves who have not turned to dark powers,
even those who do not specifically worship him; for the elves were born
of his blood, and they do not and should not forget their debt to the
Creator. Likewise, Corellon's role in banishing Lloth and the drow from
the surface, thus ending the madness of the Crown Wars, has earned him
the eternal (if largely unspoken) gratitude of elves across Faerun.
He especially favours those killing orcs and drow as well as aiding others
and tending to the dead.

Corellon is surprisingly humble, for a regent of his stature.

The Coronal of Arvandor sponsors an order of knights called
"The Fellowship of the Forgotten Flower". It is an organisation
dedicated to the recovery of lost elven relics.

Dogma: The elves are sculptors and wardens of magic's endless mysteries. Bring
forth the beauty that envelops and lets the spirit gambol unfettered. Seek out
new experiences and new ways. Ward against those that would destroy what they
cannot create. Commune with the natural and mystical world. Be ever vigilant
against the return of the banished darkness and be strong in heart against the
corruption of the Spider Queen.

Followers of Corellon may use their high favor to supplicate
(see help supplicate) for recall to a safe haven, for retrieval of
their corpse after resurrection, and if they are extremely holy,
may ask for and receive artifacts of Corellon.
