Changing Eladrin

Lord Icehand, Arcana of Justice
Formerly the chaotic good outsiders of 2e, now eladrin are a seperate race of fey that live in the Feywild as of 4e. However, in B&T they are back to basics, though they are called "celestial fey."

These guys actually didn't require too much work, and I took a cue from John Stater about the whole thing; he describes one of the celestial fey (I think the ghaele) as being a dwarf. Normally, all eladrins are elf-like, but I liked the idea of them being the different 7 major races. So that's what I did.

The coure are now the cestre, which are designed as halflings. The firre are now the flamre, and they retained their half-elf shape. The noviere are now the oceanire, which are celestial gnomes. The shiere are now the batere, and they are celestial half-orcs. Finally, the tulani are the voneli, and they can take any form but prefer to look like humans.

I also changed around the Court of Stars. Now called the Arcana, it's based on tarot cards, with their being 22 major lords and ladies, one of each based on a certain tarot card. The leader is the World card, and the current one is Lady Astra.
