"I assume this relates to the foundation of Profundia and Luthany. Is this an opportunity for the Llanis to relitigate old territorial claims, then?"
The Cashar humans, mostly led by Llanis, displaced the elves who'd shared power in the Old Kingdom when the Many Silver Crowns were created after the division of humanity between the Baarlands and the Plains. How your elves feel about this probably depends whether they're Charakian, Sminthian or Desne.
Charak is the Goddess of Green -- farmers, witches, mothers, wood
elves and "quiet men". The grower of plants, the bringer of Spring and
gentle rain. She gently does her work and leaves the world better.
Smintheus is the survivor, scavenger. Once a mortal, he was favoured
by the Star Gods and ascended, but has been pushed aside by the gods
of men. Life lived on the fringes. Many Elves see their reflection in
him -- sidelined by the men -- and the rats adore him as their own.
Desne is the dark woodland. The so-called "wood" elves and goblins
both fear and love her. Brutal, uncompromising, she consumes and
conceals, grows and evolves. She makes and hides mysteries. Humans on
the fringes of the deepest woods will leave offerings in return for
the peace to fuel-gather. She is often shown as a pair of eyes in
darkness. Desne is the wayward daughter of Charak and Styke.
She has her mother's talents and her father's contempt.
