Um, in what way are these 'Rootless' elves different from Rootless Elves? My personal intepretation is that an elf who doesn't _want_ to be part of Aldrya is, by _definition_ rootless -- in other words, I thought this lack of Aldrya-ness was what made them be considered rootless in the first place.
