I want to expand a little on that question, not to trump the above question, because that bears questioning also, but my question on elves and death has to do with resurrection after death.
Because elves pass on to Arvandor upon their death, which is a desired end for all (at least most) elves, particularly those still with their faith placed in the Seldarine or the Old Ways of the elves, most elves would not take kindly to being raised, the way I see it.
Myth-drannor.net has this one passage that kind of puts it into a nutshell:
The idea of disturbing elves after they have passed on to Arvandor is anathema to elves. Resurrection goes against all their strongly held beliefs, as does calling up the spirits of the dead.
Obviously this is balanced somewhere in the house rules, and in the roleplay of peoples PCs.... nobody wants to spend a lot of time on a char and then lose them because of one small twist of fate, but I think this kind of goes down the same path as a previous string regarding those who decide to serve Kelemvor. I would like to see people's discussion on this as well as whether elves of human dieties go to Arvandor or the plane of their Lord.
Perhaps Andreas can give us a treatise on Tel'Quessir and death.

Malar or Bane, that spirit would most likely not be given the choice of resting in Arvandor, nor would the spirit want to.
) But I would think that elves dedicated to the Seldarine will go to Arvandor when they pass from this world, if they choose to die. The rest would go to their respective dieties of other patheons. What eludes me is what happens to the False and faithless. Because elves are magical creatures wrought the way they were from the start are they ever truly without faith and belief in a patheon? and if they betray their gods do they end up like the rest of the false?
