I also use 20 years ago for Berrod; his mother spirited him away when he was three. His father stayed behind to put up some measure of resistance to the occupation because he believed that the people were making the wrong decision by allowing the Garleans to assume control -- even if Theodoric was a crazy bastard who ruined everything.
I wrote Gharen's story as the occupation of Ala Mhigo as 20 years prior to now. Gharen being age five at the time. And It was hardly an invasion, the populace was happy to see that empire be let in the gates as the king had pretty much in his paranoia become a murdering tyrant.
There is an Ala Mhigan historian that hangs out in the goldsmith's guild that is related to the Monk questline if you speak to him you can choose several topics one of which is the occupation. He seems to put his own personal spin on the history regarding what he thinks or feels about it because he lived through it.
