Maybe the elven god Erevan Ilesere had something to do with it all. Truly devoted to the Seldarine, but ultimately concerned with his own agenda. I can see a Moonblade error caused by Erevan depending on an elf who worships him. Maybe Elaith always heard the calling of Erevan but never understood the source.
With Erevan Ilesere.... you can do or write almost anything. Truly my favorite deity. Novels need more Erevan just to spice up whatever you want.
Maybe Amlaruil or Zoar was confronted by Erevan on Evermeet and made a special pact. Maybe Moonblades are more particular to Chaotic Neutral characters whom look at the world as something to do themselves, as opposed to being good and being righteous inherently. I don't know.
I just feel that the elven god Erevan Ilesere can play into any story line for any subject given. Especially the Moonblades. Or certain powerful Moonblades.
If Correlon Larethian is uber, ultra powerful, then why wouldn't a cannon mid-level elven god such as Erevan Ilesere do so much more in trickery and mischief in Faerun?
Elaine Cunningham.... Even if you never write for FR anymore... Please try my idea of Erevan Ilesere and see what happens. Erick Scott Di bie wrote about Erevan and that's cannon.

Where did Erik write about Erevan? I feel like I am missing something important. I know his character Fox-At-Twilight mentions him at one point, but if Erik actually wrote something up for him...I want to read it LOL.

Him and Tom Costa wrote up The Trickster-Touched template several years ago. Besides... ESD mentioned Erevan a few times in his novels. Fox-At-Twilight is a unwilling subject of Erevan Ilesere. Fact and true.
I'd not have Erevan involved in the overall moonblade thing, but I can certainly see a family of Erevan's followers getting a blade or two, with powers keyed towards trickery and such.
I'm with Wooly. I know you love Erevan CEV (he's one of my favorite gods too), but he can't be everything and everywhere. To my mind, moonblades create too much permanence for him, not to mention set up possession ahd legacy, all things I think he cares little for.

Yes, I agree, I just wish somebody would write up some official Erevan stuff that explains his entire history, lore, adventures and misadventures, besides the fluff we have from 2ed and 3.5ed. I have written to TSR many times and submitted soooooo many of my writings, PrC's templates and such pertaining to Erevan Ilesere and I've not even received a single No thank you from anyone at TSR. Erik diBie was doing pretty good with some vague Erevan stuff, but it seems he went a different path and no longer is doing such anymore.
Like I want to know what Erevan was doing during the battles between the Seldarine and the Anti-seldarine. Was he actively in melee or spell combat, or was he aiding the pantheon with trickery and manipulation. Or was he drinking feywine and playing dice, wenching in his favorite tavern on some distant plane during those wars, lol.
If I could just have ONE single shot at writing about him in some significant way then I'd be such a happy camper. As a 45 year old married father of three daughters and 1 grandson, I have over 30 years and literally thousands of stories and adventures about him that I have written.
One of my favorites is when Erevan held a divine Midnight Gambol on Faerun before The Crown Wars in what is now The Winterwood, inviting all the trickster deities of all the pantheons, including the deities of thieves and stealth and deception and illusions. It was truly epic... legendary actually. Some notables that were at the Gambol included Vhaeraun, Baravar Cloakshadow, Garl Glittergold, Brandobaris, Vergadain, Leira, Mask, Abbathor, Alobal Lorfiril, Beshaba, Marthammar Duin, Sharess, Tymora, Avachel, and a handful of Arch-fey from the various courts. This story alone was 22 pages long. lol.
