The Zola Fel is not an oasis. It is inhabited by sedentaries who are not slaves of the nomads. In the Oases, Palms are the major trees there.

But it is a way to terrify them, no? Elves are scared of fire.

They do not hate elves at all. There is no unofficial hatred of elves.

It only burned down one. The other was done by the CharUn who are allies of the Empire at best, and were on the verge of invading Glamour not so long beforehand.

One of the seven mothers was alleged to be a troll. That didn't stop Dagori Inkarth from warring against the Lunar Empire, did it? Any trollish influence is confined to the far north near the Blue Moon Plateau. Furthermore the Empire is not allied with dwarves - they only trade with dwarves.

Given that it does not "contain" two elder races, there is no reason why it should hate elves.
