While everyone who knows the story of the elves’ exodus and eventual return to Golarion has likely heard the name Sovyrian, few members of other races know anything solid about the secret realm of the elves.
Is this something that's being left for GMs to develop? Or if I start scheming up the reality of Sovyrian am I going to be contradicted by canon sometime in the not-too-distant future? I'm fine with whatever Paizo's intent is (either leaving it for us or describing it themselves) but I'm not sure how to interpret what's been said so far.

We have plans for Sovyrian, but aren't going to do much with it for a while. The best thing to do for now is keep Sovyrian mysterious. Very few elves that have been born on Golarion in the last several hundred years has been there or knows what it is; certainly it's easy to say that no PC elf has been there, and that no PC elf parent has been there.
Oh! So this is a case of elves returning to Golarion in one group in 2632 and that was about it? I was picturing the gates as being in more steady use.
Thank-you, sir. This clears up much.

Nope. The elves all came back at once... or at least, all during the course of a year or so. There's been very little Sovyrian-Golarion traffic at all, I suspect, since then. Or if there has been, it's been hush-hush.
You guys are really good at story hooks. Nice work.
They hush it up big time, because that's where they grow their elf pot - magically altered marijuana that sends you on amazing trips in the Dark Taprestry.
