I think Mr. Rhexx went over it at some point, but I'm not much familiar with the Eladrins since it's hard to Google Search for them without being told "Do you mean Eladarin"?

I dislike his casual mixing/conflating of core D&D lore with Realms lore. I also dislike his treatment of lore that contradicts more current lore as canon.

His channel is mostly focused on Forgotten Realms lore. He says as much multiple times. Lore in 5e is hit and miss anyway being that its run by folk who hate lore.

Pre-multiverse 5E loved lore and its lore was great.

As much as I hate Volo, his guide is incredible.

Tome of Foes is also delightful.

5E can be neatly divided into eras where Mearls was in charge, and Crawford is in charge. Crawford-era was bad.
