A lot of information is dumped on players during the Trespasser DLC. Only people with perfect memories could have come out of that experience with a solid understanding of what was going on.

These generals came to be hailed as gods and were known collectively as 'the Evanuris.' Only one Evanuris actually cared for the elves: Mythal.
