"The Elves are a very isolationist society," Imrik replied. "Their previous involvement in the council has come when Sylvan itself has come under direct threat. The original council was formed when Magyar saved Sylvan from a demonic incursion."<br/><br/>"Then why would we have more luck than you and Stormrider might have with them?" Nara asked.<br/><br/>"You have two things at your advantage," Imrik replied. "The Elves are a curious race, they have had little or no experience with humans so they may agree  to help if only to learn more about your kind. Failing that, whatever else they may be, they are a race of honour. Tell them Sarna has asked them to help, it won't mean anything to you but the Elves should be unable to refuse the request if you tell them that. Just be careful, if the Elves believe you a threat you will not reach Sylvan alive."
