Corellon Corellon or more fully Corellon Larethian , whose titles included Creator of the Elves and the Protector , was the patron god of all elves . He was the creator and preserver of the Tel ' Quessir , governing those things held in the highest esteem among elves , such as magic , music , arts , crafts , poetry , and warfare . Corellon lived in the realm of Arvandor . He approved of those who killed orc s and followers of Lolth , blessed those who aided others , and became angered at those who defiled the dead , or fled from their foes . Relationships . Allies . Seldarine . Corellon was the Seldarine ’ s , the elven pantheon ’ s , leader and was generally close with all of them , except Fenmarel Mestarine who was Lolth ’ s , his former wife ’ s , partner in adultery . He was married to Angharradh . Others . He was allied with various deities from the Faerûn ian pantheon who dealt with nature or magic as well with the leaders of the dwarven , gnomish and halfling pantheons , because to Corellon , human expansion was a source of fear . He was allied with daughter Eilistraee . This relationship was strong but distant , Erevan Ilesere was closer to his daughter than he was . Enemies . Corellon had a long list of enemies . Gruumsh . According to orc s , the relationship between Gruumsh and the elven deities degenerated to hostility after the latter participated at a prank with the gods of other pantheons . They rigged a lot drawing to determine where each race was entitled to live and there were none for the orcs . Gruumsh was mocked , but destitution for the orcs was averted by Gruumsh creating a niche for the orcs to live . Henceforth , the orc pantheon was an enemy of the others , including of the elven one . While the orcs deny it , Corellon was said to have cut out one of Gruumsh ’ s eyes . Their blood seemed to be compatible to each other for mingling it created elves and also the Elf - Eater . Dark Seldarine . Corellon ’ s enemies from the drow pantheon included Lolth , his former wife , Vhaeraun , his son , and Selvetarm , his grandson and others . Lolth . Lolth was once Corellon ’ s wife . She tried to take over his position as the head of the Seldarine and failed . For this crime , she was sentenced to banishment . Shet changed into a spider monster and attacked Corellon . Corellon couldn ’ t kill her and she escaped . Lolth hated Corellon and , due to her inability to fight him directly , her hatred took the form of hurting surface elves . She considered this at best a secondary priority . Having fun at urging and seeing the drow fighting themselves was more important to her than putting efforts in killing the people of her former husband . Vhaeraun . After Vhaeraun ’ s betrayal during the War of the Seldarine , Corellon Larethian practically cut his son off with a shilling and exiled him . He gave up on the idea of turning his son Vhaeraun to abandon his ways . He vowed kill him , if he ever tried to hurt his sister , which was an empty threat , for the Masked Lord did threaten the Dark Maiden ’ s life , without known action against him on Corellon ’ s part . Interestingly the one type of magic , that Protector considered too corrupt for elves and thus suitable for drow , the usage of the Shadow Weave , was the niche Vhaeraun filled in his role as the patron of shadow magic . Other . Other enemies of his were the goblin and orc pantheon and Bane , Cyric , Malar and Talos . Worshipers . Among Corellon ' s worshipers were elves , eladrin , and their descendants , as well as many bard s . His cleric s wore silver circlets and gossamer robes of the brightest azure . One of his most frequent holy days was the quarter moon and Corellon was worshiped at natural geological formations with beautiful objects sacrificed to him monthly . Appendix . Background . James M . Ward created Corellon Larethian for the " Deities and Demigods " ( 1980 ) .
