The most he did for half elves in Tethe ' alla was to bring about Exire , which is cold and lonely and not at all a nice place to live . And that was possibly thousands of years before the events of the game . His goal might have been to stop discrimination , but his # 1 priority was to resurrect Martel and he wouldn ' t tamper with the long drawn out system put in place to make that eventually happen via arranged marriages until her perfect vessel was born . From what I remember , his remaining faith in stopping the discrimination towards half elves died once Martel did , and his speeches in game reflect that he has no faith in humans or elves to change at all . Why bother wasting his energy crushing racists when more will inevitably pop up ? Besides , he has other things to attend to , like The Age of Half Elves he kept promising . He does remark at some point that Tethe ' alla has ' been prospering for a little too long ', so I ' m guessing Tethe ' alla was planned to become like Sylverant once Colette actually completed her trials ?
