Indeed so. Sadly, there's just not that much lore out there that I know of; perhaps others know of some and will post it up on the wiki when it comes online in the Very Near Future. The few Duskwight NPCs I've dealt with have been like most NPCs in that they were pretty unique sorts. I'd cite the Path Companion details, but the Elezen there aren't broken out by clan. That page suggests that they tend to be a bit uptight and particular in their manners -- like high elves in EverQuest, I suppose.
I think others have run into this issue before, alas. The worst part of all is that I suspect Duskwight Elezen are among the least common race/clan combinations, so it'll be difficult to get a consensus from people's characters. I also suspect that at least some people are going to play them like Drow, as they always do, or at least attach some Drow-like behaviors to them. I think the only viable option might be to carve out your own little section of lore to make your background work, then either not talk about it much IC -- giving you the option to change it as SE adds lore -- or say that your home was different where it conflicts with any additional canonical information.
