How is this on your Mystara? Yes, it is rather likely. I haven't get to it in my campaigns (we tend to play in the 995-1005 AC range), but in the Mystaran Almanacs there is such a resistance group (the Alfheim Avengers). In the MA portrayal, the resistance evolves to border terrorism.

The shadow elves didn't just seize the land, they mutated it turning the forest into something hostile the Alfheim elves. On top of that the Canolbarth forest was artificial in the first place, requiring powerful magic to maintain the weather patterns necessary to maintain it. So you can't just eject the invaders, you also have to transform the forest. Unlikely the Alfheim elves can commit the resources to accomplish both, as a significant fraction of their numbers are likely willing to just remain in safer lands to the north or south. So for those who are willing to carry on the fight, revenge attacks are much easier. Also, long term the forest is likely doomed as weather patterns change, so for the long-lived elves the easiest strategy is just to wait for the new forest to die. It would be interesting if Ylaruam became a lush tropical nation.
