Description
Angharradh, who has also been referred to as the Queen of Arvandor, is both the personification of three separate elven goddesses (Aerdrie Faenya, Hanali Celanil and Sehanine Moonbow), as well as a single goddess who extends beyond these three beings.
In the 4th edition Forgotten Realms setting, Angharradh is no longer a triple goddess. Aerdrie Faenya is revealed to be the elven guise of the primoridial Akadi, Henali Celanil is actually an aspect of Sune, and Sehanine Moonbow is in fact Selûne. Angharradh still exists, however - a situation that remains unexplained.
The 5th edition Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide reverts the 4th edition lore changes.
