According to GURPS, the bre'Unor ally themselves with the Dark and leave the Ermine to go on raids and things during major wars; when the Light has firm control of the regions around them, they retreat into the forest and content themselves skirmishing with the fir'Bolg and harassing anyone at the Ermine's edge.
I don't think the fir'Bolg really needed a reason to return to their customary isolation. The end of the Great War was reason enough. This wasn't one of those Star Trek alliances where each side suddenly sees the other's good points and they're friends forever after; it was a marriage of necessity and it ended when the necessity did.
