Ok, I hope this is understandable, and posted in the right place.
This is something which I have been thinking about and one of the reason as to why I've, so far, given up on writing more exotic (from my perspective) fantasy stories.
How to make the values and concerns of an unumodern mindset seems relevant, or make some kind of sense, to a modern reader?
That is how to write a character who is both distinctly not a modern human, be it a Aztec-inspired human or a elf with with a spirit of fire melded with her mind and soul, and make their concerns and agendas meaningful or relatable to a modern reader, without essentially transforming these people into LARP:ers who only play at not being 21st century humans.
What's your thoughts on this?
