Do not make me start looking for yours. Only creature I know of on Norrath that is older than Jetamio is Xanuusus besides some of the elder dragons.

"Nonsense...I am not that old. Nine centuries is not old for an Elf! Ask the Assassin, she is much older than she looks too." Folds her arms in mock offence. "Besides, you will not find a single grey hair on my head!"

((I dunno where some of you get your lore from, but all elven stuff Ive ever read/watched has them either immortal or very long lived...as in thousands of years... Sanjah found in game evidence of a wood elf who lived at least 1300 years. Its on the old HI boards which I believe are kinda defunct now

Actually what i've read... on their 900th birthday Elves celebrate it as "The Greying" ... Hmm... wonder why they call it that? *laughing* Gill is not getting old since he was granted a lifespan to match Sineliniel's.

Hmmm...I've never heard of that one....

Remember the Elvish Dictionary I posted a link to? The term is in there...

Remember also that in the game that the Dragons refer to even the Elves as mortals...

Even in your own roleplaying the mortality of Elves is revealed by the fact that Kalsari herself became Sanguine so she would not have to die, among other reasons. Now that this thread has benn totally Hijacked....

but all elven stuff Ive ever read/watched has them either immortal or very long lived...

All things die, nothing lives forever

Just because one is long lived does not mean one wont die. Kalsari was afraid to die at all, and when you are 16 like she was when she was turned, you think anyone over 30 is ancient. But I simply said Ive read various stories/lore say they are immortal, I myself do not beleive such a thing is possible. One could live for a very long time but all things come to an end and something new comes into being. It is the circle of life, wether it be a few days or millenium.

As for the Dragons, if you buy the new expansion, go into the Void and look around you might have a surprising find there...

I do have the new expansion and I have been in the void... remember I was also part of the Beta for it... I've seen Veeshan's corpse. According to the dialogue with Zeb, her death was not from natural causes... As for the end of Norrath that is also not stated to be from natural causes either but from the meddling of Discord in Norrath's timeline. But it is true that all things do come to an end. And I am not arguing the fact that Elves are long lived... I do not put them as immortal as some stories (Tolkien) do.

Gilliadson having been given a life to match his wife would therefore not have him as old. As for my in game thing of having Sini nearing the end of her child-bearing seasons, well that could well be her choice and she is keeping that part of it secret or Koada's could stop having children at a young age, possibly to keep the population in balance. As far as the OOC reason, I did not have plans for any other children in the story and this last one is rather special but not in a way that affects anyone outside of the Shadowbane family.
