Officially, did the elves ever employ warforged?

No, they didn't. Or at least there's never been mention of it (and it would be kinda contrary to the plots). Only one's who -have- made warforged (or similar things) have been the Giants of Xen'Drik, and House Cannith (based off of the Giant's experiments probably).

Cool. Thanks. I was hoping that. I just set up our warforged when he got attacked by a rust monster, revealing the seal of an elvish house behind one of his armor plates..meaning that he is 'older' than he thinks and that he's an anomaly. Maybe I'll do some of that 'your memory is coming back but it's not clear' stuff ;)

Sounds awesome, go for it!

It'd be cool if he were kept from the days of old Xen'Drik. Kept in secret for many MANY years, or perhaps hidden at some point.

The elves have little or nothing to do with modern warforged. It is an entirely Khorvairan discovery. But if the giants had warforged or something similar, the elves might have some history with the constructs back when they were slaves to the giants.

Nothing like that is mentioned though, so it is either an unimportant detail of ancient history, or something that has been forgotten entirely. I get the general idea that the elves know little more about Xen'drik now than anyone else.
