You are underestimating it. The elves were there inside of Netheril for centuries both before and after the Nether scrolls were found, and the elves don't forget the way humans do.  Additionally, they record events in much greater detail.Elves also extend life with magic, so there are living/undead elves from Netheril still alive as well, and because of their already long lived nature, there would be many more of them.</blockquote>
