Well, it's a pity you don't have gaz5, but if you're really interested i
think u can get it at dragontrove site (order by e-mail). The other
opportunity is to ask someone about the details you're interested about...
me for example! I am not a sage in elven matters, but i happen to own
everything that talks about elves (the solo adventure O1 too!!!), so feel
free to ask.
About the topic of elves on Skothar, i think you have two possible explanations:
1. they are descendants of the e'aar, the winged elves (Skothar is not that
far from Immortals' Arm, if geography is not an opinion and Mystara is not
flat). I don't know if you planned the elves to be winged ones, but this is
the first hypothesis, members of an expedition party to find a long lost
artifact or something else that lost contact with the e'aar fatherland and
decided to settle in Skothar
2. they are descendants of the sylvan elves (elves from the Sylvan Realm),
that fled across the sea instead of using Mealiden's RAinbow Path when the
forces of Moorkroft overthrew the realm. Other possibility is that they fled
from the Sylvan Realm because their leader did not get along with Ilsundal
and so his clan moved to another region (across the sea) to find the lost
brethern who had settled near Blackmoor or for other reasons.
3. elves coming from another dimension or reality or plane. In this case on
Skothar (as opposite to the rest of Mystara), elves and humans could breed
the fabled half-elves, that cannot be breed normally by Mystaran elves and
Mystaran humans (according to Gaz5)

these are my hypothesis, feel free to reply me personally at
