Elves by nature are banned from Elven heaven by Cor himself. Elves have souls, they just get sent back to the mortal plane. If they get corrupted then they won't even be sent to his realm after death and won't reincarnate. They are lost. Same with cross breeding. Elven trance is them reliving past lives and if they are young enough they relive the time before Lloth's betrayal and Elven banishment. Essentially reliving the last time they were in heaven. To cut an elf off this with vampirism is far worse than it seems. It is the thing elves treasure the most. They even stole a piece of heaven a hide it on an island. Half elves are unclear as to the nature of their soul though so they may have a chance to reincarnate. Drow are 100 percent cut off. They might have a chance at peace with Elistree but she won't return them to Cor she would just take them since she is banned as well but by choice.

Thats what I know in short of Elven history. Astarion has probably been cut off for so long he does not remember much and it could be what he considers "home" in the scene with the magic mirror. Being cut off from the Elven cycle and the Elven connection to the weave was probably devastating. Elven communites would know instantly that he was not right and probably kill him the moment he was in range of the sort of sense they have that connects pure elves that I think is divine in nature too. Especially Elven mages trained in Elvish high magic.

All this assuming the lore was not changed.

Also flashy games are superior is my stance.
