So something I've run across with my Sharlayan character is it's almost impossible to pin her birthdate down.
SE states that the colony was abandoned 20 years ago.
It also states that the year it was abandoned was 1562.
The last year of the 6th Astral was 1572. Adding the 5 years due to Louisoux's magicks makes this the 5th (6th?) year of the Seventh Umbral. But that would mean the colony was abandoned 15ish years ago..?
My character is 23 so her birthdate would either be 1559 or 1554?
Help me I have divided by zero.
The Dravanian Sharlayan was abandoned in the Year 1562, only fifteen years ago. The decision was reached after the Sharlayans spent nearly five years negotiating peace with Garlemald after the fall of Ala Mhigo twenty years ago, in 1557.
If your character is 23 currently, then she was born in the Year 1554 of the Sixth Astral Era. Though this depends largely on how you view time passage in RP versus the game. In short, devs support a time bubble approach where all events are compressed into the span of a year. However, they recently introduced a quest that suggests canon time passage of 2 years since Patch 2.2. So alternatively, if you have a 23 year old currently and you subscribe to time passage in the RP setting, your character would've been born in the Year 1556 of the Sixth Astral Era. (The link above explains things in a lot more depth and detail.) In either case, your character would've been quite young during the exodus of the Dravanian Sharlayan.
