Default Mountain Elves

When I wrote this adventure,
https://www.hcobb.com/tft/The_Humongous_Fungus_Trip.pdf

I assumed that the note at ITL 77 meant that Mountain Elves lived in forested mountains, but it specially says "cities among forests or mountain peaks".
This is completely unlike the hill tribe half-elves of D&D.
So from what is given we can surmise that:
  1. They are urban, but not mercantile, hence their trades are based on social structures and not free markets.
  2. They are ruled by proud nobility (c.f. the mention under Dwarves)
  3. Business Sense is rare, but not forbidden to elves. This suggests a merchant class that exists as a lowly caste. (And possibly function as their diplomats to the lesser races outside their city walls.
I may have overlooked a TFT adventure that has these Mountain Elves, but if this doesn't exist I'll write one up.
