When the Deraisim, a nomadic group of elves, homeless since the wars, reunited with the Cenath, the Magic users and tree dwellers, they were convinced to give up their nomadic lifestyles and settled into Ab'Dendriel. However, some families of elved preferred not to settle down. These elves are known as the Abdiasim. It is strange however, that the nomadic elves took a new name, as it is normally those who break off the original tribe who adopt a new name.
