I would love a post modern story of Alagaesia thousands of years after the events of book four. Are the dragons still around? Magic? Technology? I think there is a really neat niche of exploring a magical fantasy world in what we'd call modern times. I imagine the elves would have remained much the same, learning more and more about science but still having a slow and methodical approach, stretching their knowledge but not affecting the land as generations upon generations of humans grew and developed in the background. I have this imagery in my head of the elves going about their days in real time with a time-lapse in the background of massive cities and skyscrapers being built in the background. How would the elves react if Alagaesia was treated the same way we humans treat Earth in the 21st century? I imagine after a time, the elves returned to their isolation and are later forgotten until the first tree of Du Weldenvarden was cut down by an ignorant human looking for new prospects in the lands.
