Were elves and giants always united?

I never really noticed until now, though that there's a giant/elf team.

Didn't do a lot of these when it came out, see. But I reacted after the Saga update where they made peace with each other.

Yea, they were always united which was surprising. They had a team name "The Elf Giant Union" and it even had their own Emblem. The Emblem is still there but at some point, they renamed the team for some reason.

They made peace back in G9, at least for the ones that migrated to Uladh.

I think it's more of a hostile ceasefire, like the cold war between the US and USSR. They weren't exactly at peace nor at war, but they didn't trust eachother either and were still in competition.
