I've been working on a mini-adventure and remembered some thoughts I had with Brax a while ago in fleshing out their cultural heritage Don't know if anybody else would like the idea but we ran with elves being a primarily seafaring race, with a host of island colonies scattered around Athas and a few coastal cities. Many of the Green Age elves traded and raided across Athas, something that brought them into conflict with the kreen (hence the ancient animosity). This sort of background seemed to fit nicely with the modern elves.

I'd say the Cleansing Wars started against the elves, most faught against it, but a few fled perpetually, creating the ways of the modern elves, its physical characteristics, and the myth of Coraanu Star Racer.
