How come the humans wouldn't have elfs as workers too?

Not sure about what the official explination is, but there are lots of very good possible reasons.
For example, it is actually very common, that when people of lesser development (often illiterate, poor farming techniques, etc) are drawn into a rich and more educated culture, they very quickly adopt to many of those cultural elements - specifically the ones that increase their ability to live well.
It is quite plausable that in one generation (20 years is a modern generation, but in ancient times people had children certianly by 15) human children will have been taught to read and write zormite as their first language, and the zormite religions would often have appeal as it would be the religions of their great benefactors. Going from such a low level of society to a much better one would likely give the humans reason to take pride in being part of zormite, and even if many of the humans engaged in the bloodier parts of the revolution, the nation as a whole would not specifically just abandon the old name.
It wouldn't be the most affluent humans of the lands that would have colonized on Zormite afterall.
France was not renamed during the French Revolution, so why should Zormite?
Anyway Zurk, why not be constructive and find solutions instead of problems with things like this - it solves that whole thing that bothered you so much about the historical split.
