They could very easily be an earlier migration, from Vulcania, that ended 
up in Skothar. There are literally any number of points at which the 
elves could have ended up in Skothar.

Another suggestion might be that the elves of Skothar are somehow related 
to the N'djatwa- the elf/ogres of Davania. They seem rather oriental in 
flavor, and might blend in well in the MOrient.
