To clarify, for the "WB: The Future" tag for the Chalion saga, I was mostly thinking of the future after the last chronological book in the series (i.e., what would the world look like in an era with Industrial Revolution-era or modern day level technology). I'd seen a few fics for the fandom with the Alternate Universe - Modern Setting tag, which kind of inspired that train of thought.

I apologize for the unclear phrasing.
