Granted dieing in old age in world of Daventry is caused by dieties from various underworlds.
Such as Father Death(KQ4), Samhain(KQ6), or Azriel(MoE). So it would appear they don't like letting humans live for long periods of time, so they decide when people have lived too long in the world. Apparently they have no control over immortals though.
King Edward is the only one that comes to mind at the moment, but I don't have time to check his timeline and whatnot. Could someone estimate his age at time of death? Although, as a King he may have lived more lavishly than an ordinary peasant, so keep in mind that this isn't 100% scientifically accurate
Well to have any idea of how to calculate his age we would need an idea when he was born. I have no idea when you have him born in your TSL timeline.
I'm not sure there is much of anything about him in novels or companion, except a few offhand remarks, and some refrences to what he did while he was king.
One of the only specific dates is that apparently the mirror was stolen 20 years before KQ1.
There was a few remarks about some of the kings before Edward in one of the novels, but I don't remember a timespan mentioned.
"Very seldom do things work in perfect order, and if you read the history books there are very seldomly kings who simply become kings when they are twenty five, die thirty years later, and everyone else follows that exact cycle. "
Going by the manuals and the companion, and narration quotes in the game, it would appear all the kings before caliphim all lived and died of old age. So if at least 4 kings existed during a 100 year timespan, old age would not be more than 60-70 with a king that ruled before 100 years, one that lived into the 100 year era, and one that lived beyond the 100 year era.
Since kings tend to live longer than the subjects due to better medical options and better food choices, then that would mean in Green Isles the lower class likely do not live as long. Shave off a decade or so.
Oh ya Hassan is considered an at least older middle-age in KQ6, he was "young" child 20 years before. His father is dead of apparently old age going by the companion.
So that mean's noone dies? Every country has problems, even in so-called times of "peace". If there were no problems, and every king ruled well and had no difficulties whatsoever, that would mean the story was a fantasy, and in fantasies people live longer.
There were no problems, and obvioulsy they didn't live longer, as there were 4-5 kings in a 100 year period of known peace with only Caliphim dieing of unatural causes. Believe me that doesn't mean they "live longer". That literally means on average they ruled only 25 years of time during those 100 years.
THis is pretty far off-topic, so I'll bring it back on track. All I originally said was that Graham would most likely not die from natural causes in this game, so we wouldn't have to worry about who would take over the throne unless he dies by unnatural causes. I said this assuming Graham was 55, but now YOU say he was about 45. Even if the maximum average life span was 60, he would still have 15 years, and he also has the fruit, and we have no idea how much that could increase his age. So unless he dies of unnatural causes, we won't have to worry about who takes over the throne.
Again I agree the only discussion of age related subject was only tryinng to figure out a ballpark figure of when Graham may die. Not when he will die, or how long he will live since he's a bit different than most other humans thanks to having consumed mystical fruit(which we have no idea if it extends life, or only heals life(I'll have to look into that).
I take the fantasy approach, well you take the realistic, dark ages approach.
Who said anything about the dark ages approach? If it was the dark ages, they wouldn't be living nearly as long as 50-70 maybe 80 years. 50-70 years during the dark ages would be absolutely ancient, and very long lived life. 60-70 years is modern average, and that is due to health breakthrouths. So yes fantastically if they are living 60-70 maybe 80 years in medieval-like realm on average that is fantastically spectaculer. Especially considering that any number of dieties could decide they are too old and should die of "old age".
