*spoilers all books* Dragon Haven, Enjoy it? Hate it?

^ Okay, quick check-in but just *had* to contribute (yes, the one who knows nothing but says much! ).

I am agreeing with you beings in that a new culture is far healthier and a must. The dragon culture of old will not need to be rebuilt as it was, as it will be a thing of the past just as it *has* to be if time's wheel is going to be lifted out of its current path. Just as the Bingtown Traders had to adapt to change etc, etc, etc (ticking of all such changes in my head! ), all, be they Elderlings, dragons, Others, Farseers etc, will have to change to improve upon the past. Why would anyone want it to be the same if the same outcome will eventually come to pass? I'm having deja vu that I've had a similar-ish discussion with Redchild (?) or Chrischa sometime before but forging ahead...

Beloved and Changer are there not to ensure that things stay the same but that they change while appearing to stay the same....or so I have interpreted. Changer is the pebble...if ultimate change were not the goal, all that has come to pass would be for naught.
