As far as we know, Au Ra have a similar lifespan as other races. So between 80-100 years max lifespan give or take, but most would live shorter lives because of war, poor living conditions, etc.

Okay, years are complicated. Every time an Era changes, the calendar years reset to Year 1. So the game in Heavensward starts during the 1st Year of the Seventh Astral Era. Before the Seventh Astral, there were 5 Years of the Seventh Umbral Era between now and the final Year of the Sixth Astral Era, which was the Year 1572. When determining the birth year of your character, it's helpful to subtract your intended age from 1577 to get your birth year. That said, the Year 1577 does not exist, it's just a helpful way to think about aging. So for example, my character is 31/32 years old, her birth year is Year 1546 of the Sixth Astral Era.
