[[WMG: Elves are a dying race, because they have a massive inbreeding problem]]
An elf matures at same rate as a human, but can live up to 750 years. This means that an elf can be a progenitor of great many elf generations. Then, when those elves seek mates, the chances of breeding with another elf sharing the same parent/grandparent/great grandparent is very high. Compounding that problem generation after generation, after a few thousand years it might be difficult to find a two elves who are not siblings/cousins/aunts/uncles some way or another.
Think Elves in Forgotten realms, whom are only as common as Half-elves. This indicates that elves have trouble breeding amongst themselves, so they have relations with humans instead. Elf communities are few and far between. It might be that the whole elf species is just an extended family, like the european royal families on Earth. Elf marrying practices might involve thorough genealogy studies to find out whether the couple is compatible or too close to each other to be allowed to breed and bring down elf species even further.

A friend just proposed this while I was talking about the {{Transformers}} [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]] in the Modron book. What could be more fitting?

--> '''Monte Cook:''' What most people don’t know is that much of Sigil was Zeb’s metaphorical analog for TSR itself. I mean, it was literally run by the Lady of Pain, whose very gaze could kill you (or your product). So behind the scenes, the setting had a very different meaning for everyone there.
