Like I said, so long as you go out of your way to explain their role in the world, it should be fine if you use 'elf'. That is, I don't think you need to beat anyone about the head with forthright descriptions, but if you give their context and then apply the word elf to it, rather than the other way around, I think it will likely work out the way you'd like it to.
I suppose that for people like me, it's just a question of establishing a new paradigm.
