Damn good question...

There are at least two viewpoints. One says yes (ouch... reverse
goblinisation).

Mine says, well look at the Horrors... they can survive long past the level
of magic needed to get them here. Maybe metahumans can, as well.

In practise, there are several beings who lived through the last cycle of
magic (Ehran, Harley, etc), and they were elves before, and elves now. What
they were in the middle? *shrug* There's lots of myths about elves and
goblins and what not during the middle ages...
