In the [[Ghostwalk]] setting, Corellon is replaced as the God of the Elves by Galaedros: the Sorrowful King, who is analogous to Corellon in many respects, but appears more of a fusion of Corellon with other Gods such as [[Obad-Hai]] or [[Silvanus]]:

He is the creator of the Elven race, but in this case he does not reside in [[Arborea]], simply because the setting does not have an Elven afterlife. Instead Elves become sentient trees, and are protected by '''Arboreal Guardians''' who are mortal divine spellcasters who gain their power from Galaedros. 

Galaedros also has a similar history to Corellon, in that his wife was a [[Drow|dark skinned, grey haired]] deity, in this case called '''[[Phaant]]'''. However in this telling of the story, she turned against him because he spent more time tending the garden of creation than he did with her. The betrayal came when she murdered Galaedros' brother '''Hunael''' ''(who may be standing in for [[Fenmarel Mestarine]] in this version of the mythos)''. The story element of the eye that was plucked out could come from the fact that the murder sealed Phaant into her current form, which is a beautiful woman with one white, pupil-less eye.

So, like Lolth before her, Phaant was cast out to become a deity of misfortune. However because the wounding of Corellon-Galaedros was not directed at him personally, but was emotional instead. Galaedros never recovered from it, so he stepped down as King of the Gods, and so the pantheon of Manifest is more or less equal.

====Dogma====
Wood endures. Wood is patient. Learn from wood and study its strength. Plants provide the basic necessities of life—food, clothing, and shelter—and a wise person can survive anywhere with the proper knowledge of plants. Avoid the trappings of civilization, for something unknowable gnaws at the heart of civilized folk, making them forget where they came from and harm others for the sake of greed or merely harm itself. The green world soothes the wounds of civilization even as it bears the brunt of its wrath
