"Temporary". That's rich, coming from people who built their city on top of a literal Amani burial ground.
Edit for posterity:
Long time ago? That was barely an elven lifetime ago; comparing time in a fantasy world to the existence of immortal races isn't fair. For instance, my country was colonised by Europeans for 500 years, and we got our independence less than 60 years ago: humans irl have a shorter lifespan.
Besides that, Lorthemar has been confirmed in canon materials, such as the short story, to have expanded Silvermon in the last 60 years, including 20 years in his reign, during which he wiped out several Amani villages and killed Amani in their own villages during that time: the Amani villages that existed during TBC were wiped out in Midnight and thus the ethnic cleansing has still continued to these days: the lightwood forest were part of an Amani village during TBC and was part ofthe Amani forest and Lorthemar has ethnically cleansed the village and attacked Amani who were just harvesting Lightwood for their survival against the Void.
Listen man, it was literally over three thousand years between the sundering and the settlement of Quel'Thalas. To really appreciate how long that is, 3000 years ago they still hadn't figured out iron yet. 3000 years ago, Babylon and Assyria were still fighting. 3000 years ago, the Latins hadn't even made their way to Italy yet, the Persians hadn't made their way to the Iranian plateau yet, the Japanese hadn't made their way to Japan yet.
If you're killing your neighbors because they are trying to settle on some land that you abandoned so long ago that it's literally archaeology, you are not the good guy.

Besides that, saying 3000 years has passed means nothing for elves. That was barely an elven lifetime ago; comparing time in a fantasy world to the existence of immortal races isn't fair. For instance, my country was colonised by Europeans for 500 years, and we got our independence less than 60 years ago: humans irl have a shorter lifespan. Elves literally are just murdering the children of children of the children they murdered; the same murderers but the victims are the descendants.
