So, is it possible that the First Unhuman War hasn't actually ended?  That

there are still entire Elven Fleets, in far distant spheres, still hunting

the enemy?  That there are Elven Admirals who just haven't gotten around to

checking in to base, because they've only been in the field for a few

centuries? >>

Theoretically possible, I suppose, but there is one other communication
variant that could be used to contact fleets--the elven deities could certainly
inform their worshippers that the war was over.  It's a shortcut means of
communication that wouldn't normally be used, and requires the assistance of the
Elven Pantheon (and other deities worshipped by elves...(image of elven priests of
Krynnish deities from before the Cataclysm returning home after a long
sojourn in space...), but in the event of something like the Unhuman Wars, I could
imagine the word of war's end being spread that way.
