Like cockroaches, once one High Elf moves into town, you start finding them everywhere; every public house has a High Elf bard, squabbles* of HElves fight over performance space in the public square like pidgeons, big cities have to constantly deHElf their colleges and Sage Guild Houses, the Wizarding Guild keeps trying to create anti-HElf wards, but they were infested by HElf wizards so long ago they're considered a lost cause and the Fighter College constantly makes noise about "just burning those dress wearing mumblers to the ground and riding the world of the pests once and for all" (no one's sure if they mean the HElfs or the Wizards though, probably both).
* Groups of High Elves are called squabbles.
