And based off the information given via the Race section on the main FFXIV site we can safely say that they were the first of the five races to migrate to Eorzea during the Age of the Twelve. Followed closely by the Roegadyn.Â
It's possible, though Ilsabard is actually more to the east of Eorzea than it is the North. It's quite possible they came from over the sea, much like the Roegadyn did. The islands that Sharlayan is supposedly situated on is also a strong, strong possibility. Suffice it to say, I wouldn't necessarily paint modern day Garlemald and Ilsabard as Elezen-heavy. After all, their emperor is Hyur. In fact, while the other races are present in the empire, in-game I'd say a good 75% of what we've seen has been Hyur. Even cutscenes in 1.0 painted a predominantly Hyur society.
We've actually only seen two Elezen from Garlemald of note, that being Livia and Nael, the latter of which is dead. Compared to about five major characters that are Hyur, and the overwhelming majority of Garlean NPCs being Hyur. While Elezen could have possibly originated from Ilsabard, it's quite likely that they more or less would have abandoned it when they migrated to Eorzea.
