What Is an Astral Elf?
An astral elf is an elf who lives on the Astral Plane, the silvery realm between the worlds of Dungeons and Dragons. Astral elves descend from elves who left the Feywild long ago. Life close to their gods gave them a spark of divine light.
Astral elves have a starry gleam in their eyes. They do not age while they stay on the Astral Plane, so many live for thousands of years. Instead of sleeping, they rest in a trance. Astral elves became a playable race in Spelljammer: Adventures in Space (2022).
