03-29-07, 02:16 PM Toril's elves are an interloper species, while Toril's fey are not. There is no known connection between the two, though they do (at times) share some common points in their racial outlooks.

03-29-07, 07:00 PM -As Shemmy said, they often have common racial outlooks. It is not uncommon for Elves and Fey/Sylvan creatures to live side-by-side. It is also not that uncommon for Elves to worship the Seelie Court, and for Fey/Sylvan creatures to worship the Seldarine. Furthermore, I seem to recall that the Queen of Air and Darkness relishes in "corrupting" and controling Elves, as well as Fey/Sylvan creatures.

-Oh, and if it weren't obvious, the Seldarine and the Seelie Court enjoy cordial relations.

03-30-07, 11:21 AM How does one travel between the Seelie realm and Faerun? Is such travel commonplace, say in places like Evermeet?

So-called fey crossroads would be a weak point between the fabric of the prime material and Faerie, and presumably someone who knew of the realm/plane/demiplane (however you care to define it, and multiple authors have defined it differently) could gate there. The fey-crossroads have a passing similarity in how they connect to Faerie to how bound spaces in theory can connect to the City of Doors, and in both cases it might be less a case of a person going there, than the location reaching out to them.

03-30-07, 02:32 PM any specific known crossover points in Faerun?

Also other way round, even if you know of the crossroad, but the guardian doesn't like you, you wont be allowed to pass.

Known crossroads are listed in Magic of Faerun with some detail of their connections and their guardians;

Arnrock
Cantlowe
Herkemon's Hub
Hermit Heights
Knightswood Nine
Nykkara
Thornswood
Teshyllal Wastes
Waterdeep, Heroes' Garden
