=== Tesselari (Weird Elves) ===
Weird elves, or tesselari, are drow who defected from Lolth at the last minute. Shortly before the multi-planar war between Titania and Lolth, some of Lolth’s drow defected prior to entering Lolth’s portal. In response, Titania “uncursed” them and Lolth imprisoned them in the “void,” which we now believe was the [[Planes of Existence#The Far Realm|Far Realm]]. They lived there in exile for 1,000 years before returning to the Material Plane (how and why is unknown). These elves were called Tesselari, or weird elves. They arrived in southeastern [[Deneshae]] and built an empire there which was all but wiped out by Tiamat’s sar during the [[Dragon Wars]]. Some tesselari are thought to have survived and sailed eastward. No one knows exactly what they looked like.
