In some schemes the pinacle of Elven Magic is the demi-plane - a space of prestine sylvan forest as unchanging as the elves. They may have created gates beyond which their society is functioning very well even after collapse. Similar to the faery hills, or fey reverie, an eldritch reality mostly of their collective design.The other thing is that even in tolkien the elves tend to take their magic and go home. Elven presense seems to be necessary for some elf magics. Non elves picking over an elven ruin might get no benefit from the portals, altars, glyphs, wards, runes, regional spells that could survive a societal collapse. Odd weather patterns might still exist. Rivers that were very nourishing. Pools of healing etc... These might slowly wind down their magic bonuses over the years.If the empire was overrun by vandals its likely that much of the portable wealth would be carried back to vandal city centres. A silver rod that somehow defies melting might only be significant within the confines of a previous Diocese Shrine.In the extreme you might find nigh immortal elves showing up at ruins to continue a conversation started a thousand years ago. If half elves exist and there was any sort of intermarrying with the non elf population you might find the wierd survivals. People who are still elf enough to activate the old magics.Sigurd</blockquote>
