Firstly, does anyone know what's going to be going on with them? For example, where are they staying whilst Gilthas is negotiating with the plainspeople for some space? The Missing City, or are they actually in the desert proper?

Then, in Dark Thane, at the end, it hints that they have all gone off to Pax Tharkas. When is this likely to have happened? How many will have gone with him? What are people's best guesses about how many elves there are left?

They're the most pressing questions for now.

Oh, where's Dimernost, the Dimernesti capital? I get the feeling it was to the west of Ansalon, but I'm not sure...

Linsha trilogy spoilers

I just remembered about the Linsha trilogy, and the end of that. Presumably, it's all fixed by the time campaigns are started, but the elves are unlikely to go there initially... unless to prove something to the plains people, they repel the Tarmak invaders. But why else would they include the Tarmak as a playable race in AoM, since very few are going to be anywhere else?

So where are the elves going to be in the meantime?

Well, nearer to Silvanesti would make the most sense, but can you be any more specific?

Many of them escaped with Gilthas to Silvanesti, across the Plains of Dust.

The remainder that stayed behind would likely need to band together at this point with the threat of goblins now in the forest. So their going to Pax Tharkas would also make sense.

Of course, the resolutions to these scenarios have yet to be seen.
