I can name several factions that are more unreasonable then Sand Elves. The elves travelled west, and the places they passed some turned back to - this is why there are all those places colonised. But they never went south. And the elves don't care about stealth. These are history books, read only by them. What's the risk of someone being found out if those already in the know write a book? And they wouldn't 'pretend not to notice them' if your lore is as I remember it, they would come north to be reunited with their kin. What of the Nandor and the Galadhrim they went south They stopped along the way west, they didn't infact travel. Well, some of the Ñoldor travelled east to the Galadhrim but that's just transferral, not settlement. Alright, I'll admit that you have made some fairly valid points. However, you forget that history books can be erased as much as they can be written. As for the people, they could have simply walked there throughout a few ages. Or something. The views of my people are not why the Sand Elves were founded. The Sand Elves were founded because one Dolenus decided to move to Harad. All the civilisation stuff developed afterwards.

Dol Amroth has nothing to do with the Sand Elves. Other than the fact that I can really relate to Imrahil right now, since I don't see you complaining about anybody else's factions, just elves in Harad. The Noldor don't just burn books, so the histories would be still accounted for. The same goes for the Sindar. My point about Dol Amroth was that Dol Amroth was largely elven, but man slowly mixed with them and it became less so. I was envisioning a worsened version of that happening to your elves.
