race features:
Darkvision
Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. Keen Senses
You have proficiency in the Perception skill. Fey Ancestry
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep. Fleshseeing
When you consume a part of a creature, you find out what happened to the creature in the last minute of its life. You take 1 point of psychic damage by doing this. Trance
Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Winter. When you use your Fey Step, one creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of you before you teleport must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. Spring. When you use your Fey Step, you can touch one willing creature within 5 feet of you. That creature then teleports instead of you, appearing in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you. Summer. Immediately after you use your Fey Step, each creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of you takes fire damage equal to your proficiency bonus.

Eladrin consider themselves the true children of Arundil, the Elven creator god, whom they followed when he and the remains of the Elven pantheon retreated to the Feywild after the Divine Shattering. Though their gods have moved on from this realm as well, the Eladrin remained, maintaining civilization in this plane and keeping an eye on the palace-like retreats of their gods.

When the Long Night began, mortal civilization suffered. Suffoctaed by the Great Forest, many towns and villages had to turn to pleasing the wilderness to survive. The future Wood Elves would be most proactive in this. As Elves already were more in tune with nature than other races, they quickly became favorites of the Great Forest, recieving the blessings of the Great Trees.
These blessings still manifest today, in the form of the eyes of various beasts, antlers and horns, or various other beastial features. Some propose that the indulgence in these gifts may have led to the creation of Centaurs and Saytrs, though nobody can say for sure these days.
