They do not have Arcane Archer.

Is this a good thing or an oversight?

None of the streamers I watched slowed down enough to show what the Arcane Fey Step bonuses were

LOL.

Mystra said:

I mean seriously guys though.

4 FOUR ?! Elf Races. Like 30% of the primary races on the creation screen are now ELVES.

So many flavors and they decided to go with another variation of Vanilla. I just don't get it.

And another Dex races ?!

We have 1 STR race. The ancient halforc. I mean why do they refuse to give what the players want ?

I feel like there's some kind of conspiracy against the general player base.

Drow, Elf, Wood-elf, Morning lord Sun elf, so Eladrin makes 5 different elves. Not counting Half-elf

Looking at the Myth Drannor wikis and stuff in the past couple of days I thought that the most likely new race from the source material would be either Moon Elf or Eladrin, but not Moon Elves/Grey Elves as they are virtually identical to DDOs Khorvaire Elves. Realistically, such character options as Moon Elves, some Human variants, Mountain Dwarves, and so on would be via some character appearance options during character creation having no other game features, but would that huge amount of art development work be worth it ? Though a Faerûn Drow appearance set would be nice ...

BTW Eladrin are not technically Elves, but Fey. Some D&D Elves are associated with the Fey (Moon Elves are) but not all (Eberron Elves are not).

Eladrin have no reason to access Elven AA as they are not Elves. They can still be Rangers ...

On a personal note, my main is on her last Elven Baebe racial life, and unless she RTRs this coming weekend which is a slim possibility, her next life is very likely to be Eladrin Baebe rather than Drow Baebe.

The Iconic Eladrin looked to start with 1 level of the Wild Mage archetype.

That is very nice as that allows running wild mage and chaosmancer past lives on the same run. A most pleasant surprise.

Now we just need a new ED to go with the new race and things would be perfect!

The Iconic Wild Mage is truly wild.. I near fell off my chair laughing whilst testing stuffs on Lamma land, at stuffs the devs snuck in !
here is one of the clips lol
https://www.twitch.tv/mysticdragon_littlemama/clip/FancyPiliableNigiriDxCat-M-FXAqbfb3pBSpIm

so that's what they meant by "pot"...

LOLz... good thing it wasn't a "chamber pot" tho like in Game of Thrones....

...or the 420 variety....

hrmmm.... just thought it's interesting (didn't know too much of the Lore of this place prior)... but Eladrin are also Elves (who haven't lost their Fey nature)

it's an "AI-generated answer" so take with grain of salt, it seems to have gotten it from this "source" https://www.realmshelps.net/faerun/lore/volo/myth_drannor.shtml

Demographics of the population in Myth Drannor​

According to the search results, Myth Drannor has a population of approximately 7,450, with a mix of races. The demographics are:

• 79% Elf
• 9% Half-Elf
• 5% Human
• 3% Halfling
• 2% Gnome
• 2% Other

It is also mentioned that the city was once a thriving metropolis with a population of over 40,000, but it has since declined due to various events and circ*mstances.
In the past, Myth Drannor was a city of great prosperity, with a population that included elves, dwarves, humans, gnomes, and halflings living together in harmony. However, the city’s population has fluctuated over time, with periods of growth and decline.
During its heyday, Myth Drannor was a city of great cultural and intellectual significance, attracting scholars, artists, and adventurers from all over Faerûn. The city was known for its beautiful architecture, its vibrant marketplaces, and its many temples and shrines dedicated to various deities.
Today, Myth Drannor is a shadow of its former self, with many of its buildings in ruins and its population greatly reduced. However, the city still maintains a strong sense of community and culture, with many of its inhabitants continuing to live and work together in the city’s remaining districts."

Really glad Eladrin Charomaner will give you the Wild Mage past life instead of base Sorcerer

Please dont change that for official release

Considering it starts you off as a Wild Mage instead of the base Sorcerer, I'd expect that to happen.

So what I heard was a pretty universal disappointment in Voodu's stream that the new race was yet another version of elf. We still await a dwarf or halfling iconic, and some people live to get that kobold race. But I guess a new elf variant is consistent with the upcoming Myth Drannor content. Not a big deal for me, as I have so many other races I have yet to complete.

I find it funny that someone datamined it being Eladrin and Steelstar called it baloney in discord, and turned out to be Eladrin.

That being said, this race is going to be another reflex save (for me and my odd dexterity).

I guess it depends on which edition you go by, but in the current canon Eladrin is a subrace of elf.
Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes lists Eladrin as elves as does Mordenkainen Presents - Monsters of the Multiverse.

If we go back to the 4th edition it lists them as cousins of the elves and mentions that they are sometimes referred to as High Elves or Gray Elves.

It also gets confusing because the Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide mentions that the Eladrin are "Ancient elven lineage" and that many Faerúnian elves started calling themselves Eladrin after the spellplague. So it could refer to both.

oh just noticed on the side bar under this section Eladrin is actually listed First...
"Society[7][8][9][10]

As a city:
Eladrin, elves, humans, dwarves, halflings, gnomes, gold dragons[6]
As ruins:
Fiends, alhoons, phaerimm, ormyrr,[6] drow,[6] undead[6] "

also just learned about:

"The excessive use of High magic and portals in the city, combined with the actual mythal itself, weakened the "planar fabric" of the region, granting easier access to other planes of existence and crystal spheres. Most notable among these were the Feywild, the lower planes,[28] the demiplane of Dread, along with the planet Krynn.[ "

duuuuuude Krynn!!!!!!!!111
