I would rather have an intelligent enemy than a stupid friend.

Ealuik is in his mid to late 80s.

Kssarh and Mortom are probably pushing 100.

Tiv is probably over 100.

This is the problem with the time dilation when adjustments aren't being made in the lifespans of species to make it make sense.

You whisper to Ventuul and Szrael, "OOC: I'm bored. you guys up for some fun?"

Szrael whispers to your group, "OOC: Thus began the great war between zoluren and qi'reshalia"

I saw sort of an explanation once

More about afterlife than long life- but I'm sure it can apply without going full "auroa"(sp? in game reference)

A rarer system that sees sporadic practice has no formal name, but often goes by the regional dialect of "the Invisible Flame" or "Path of Invisible Strength." Most often practiced by Paladins, though it has adherents in many professions, the path proposes that a man of sufficient spiritual purity and strength can develop a self-empowering soul: one that can exist outside the body, with its identity intact, indefinitely. Where the common soul is weak and transitory unless fixed in its state by the gods, the soul of the great and wise men may endure forever
....

Priests of all stripes denounce the pursuit of vain spiritualism over service and homage to the gods, but for every prayer there is a dozen ghost stories. It is commonly known that particularly driven or powerful individuals sometimes... hang around longer than even the wildest amounts of conventional spirit health should allow.

That's referring to ghosts.

Any other reason to be unnaturally long lived then? Other than well just living long? Strong will/spirit is the best I can come up with outside of supernatural tinkering.

But then if the game lasted another roughly 15 years you'd still have the same problem. I think the easiest assumption here is that these guild leaders would have been and stayed in tip top shape possibly. You look at some old people in real life and those who stayed active and took care of themselves usually get around a LOT better and live longer than those who lay down to die. Add some fantasy in and the fact that we have gods that can bring you back to life and I don't see where them living for an extremely extended period of time past what the racial charts claim the normal would lives is unbelievable. After all, if the gods can bring you back to life several times by seeking their favor, who's to say they can't stop you from ever dying of old age?

>bluff silv
You realize you have no idea how to bluff an unintelligent beast like the Leader Silvyrfrost.

<<Favors only prevent you from "going before your time," they don't extend it.

Maybe it's a by-product. Periodically trading in that old cholesterol ridden body for a brand new healthy one may extend life significantly for all I know.

You suddenly feel nauseous, as if you'd been doing performance art.

maybe they're all being replaced by Occular. or maybe with the arrival of the orphan's guild, there's a lot of fresh bodies and souls to keep us living forever.

Necromancy provides the only source of reliable and potent life extension on Elanthia.

I just hit 57 I believe and I know Jerid has me beat by a few years, though I think Binu still beats him out.

Your body already swells with the enhanced strength of a hero.

"Killing Time Murders Opportunities."

It really shouldn't be possible to be older than 76 (18 + (14*4)). One of my older Human characters is 72 but I haven't played him in over a decade. Most are in the low 60s.

IG years times RL years + original CharGen age from beta?

I'm 71 right now, and elderly looking for a human

>Prior to web move I can't recall ever rolling anything higher than 19 out of chargen as a human. I think 21 was the max but I never saw it. Which means I suppose you could be 78 as a human.

Hrm, it's possible my human created at 21 and I've been playing a year longer than I thought. Numbers get fuzzy with me... definitely started over 20, remember that much because she was the same age as my Halfling (who started at 18 or something).

My human rolled out at 32 several years ago. It is a sore point for me, but I've managed to work with it.
