Which might be the case, actually.But I'd like to address the possibility of more formal learning as a solution. Even if it is canonical that elves lives longer, maybe in some case for 2,000 years, I am not sure they recall the information better over time. Maybe Karsus' folly is the equivalent of the WTC attacks and most elves who were there remember the event and what they were doing even a very long time after. But if we take something a little less dramatic, there is a lot of things we know at some point and forgot. If you're the kind of person who know you current cabinet members, can you name the cabinet members of 20 years ago? If not, maybe the 2,000 years old elf was knowledgeable about the Netheril Empire because it was next door,  but forgot most of it after some time.</blockquote>
