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

As written, it was the new emperor himself who took special care in preserving the traditions of the Zormite culture. So even if you do want to maintain that the humans did not accept the Zormite way of life after living that way of life exclusively for decades, then it could be argued that since the new ruler made special efforts to keep things more or less unchanged during the transition at first, the status quo was maintained and the populus was given just that much more time to "adopt" this way of life (which they had already grown acustomed to).
I beleive in the story, the Zormites lifted the ban on immigration of -humans-. Comeon, that was already a stretch considering their past, and humans were much more well known to zormites than some other smaller species which they woudl have had even less contact with. They decided to be less xenophobic..but they didnt let go of their preconvictions completely.
Besides, why would elves want to immigrate? There is not a big enough population of them to be scampering everywhere, either. If they even still exist on Forest.
Come to think of it, how do you explain the timeline of Forest? What happen to all of the elves during the reign of Astri? And how do you explain every single viking being wiped out and disappearing during the transition back to Forest?
Strange, it sounded like my story satisfied you before when I first told you it, because as you said then, its fine for Zormite to consist primarily of humans as long as there is still a few zormites around, because you objected to the idea of zormites completely disappearing, and wanted an explaination as to why the population diminished so badly.
Your complaint then was, there was never an explaination as to why humans took over.
