Besides, I don't understand why the Dark Elves would target Namtara. There are understandable reasons to target the High King of the Elves, the Underking, or the Emperor of the Holy Empire. But what could Namtara possibly do to them?
And moving the action so many years into the future would also be quite strange. After all, many of the characters from the original would have long since died, and new heroes would have to be created, which wouldn't be very economically viable.
