Whan i was reading the novel evermeet I came across a chapter, I dont know where exactly it was cause i dont have my book with me but it was about this group of elves that seemes to be in what a "space ship" would be in a universe full of magic, in it the author wrote about a confederation and how when thye where passing toril they saw it as a uncivilized planet, but where forced to crash land,with the help of a powerfull elven mage(i forget most hte characters names cause like i said i dont have the book with me), by some creatures that attacked them. I was wondering if these seemingly space faring alves have ever been mentioned in any other place? I found the idea of space fairing races quite interesting. If i made a mistake with my understanding please tell me.

This is a reference to spelljamming elven ships. Spelljammer was a 2e setting that explored "space".

hmm interesting,they wouldnt have by chance made a conversition to 3e would thay, I think it would be an intersting campaign idea.

If you can find it, read the 'Cloakmaster Cycle' series of Spelljammer novels. Two of them feature the Forgotten Realms, and one was even written by Realms favorite Elaine Cunningham.
