Much of it wasnt needed in the Long Vigil, but it now is and if you understand what the Long Vigil was and why it was done, what it means to end, come out isolation, needs of a society and civilization. You wouldnt think any of that stuff is beyond or unlikely for the night elves in places like cities or situations where arcane magic is involved.
E, what would change in what situations, what is most likely to return and be used etc,
