Also, the same thing go with Lefthanded Elfs, if some of them survived, why didn't they escaped from Yokuda BEFORE it sinks, maybe hiding in Hammerfell, till the Redguards come, then they hid in the Dwemeri ruins, planning a revange. I don't think so all the Ayleids decended into the elves we see today.
