This started to come up in the Catti-brie Character Study, and it got me to thinking . . . what are the official ages of some of the major NPCs of the Realms? Catti-brie I narrowed down to somewhere between 36-41 years old by the current year (Year of Lightning Storms).
First, can anyone definitively state her age, and second, does anyone have the specific dates for the ages of some of the other Realms NPCs, such as Alias, Danilo, Arilyn, etc?
Obviously this is less important for the Chosen and for long lived races, such as elves, gnomes, even dwarves, but its an interesting thing to have pegged down (even if some of the authors and developers might cringe once they realize that they have to deal with an official age).
So, any fellow scribes have some ages, and where they might have been sited? |

When I read Elfshadow, I recall it mentioned that Arilyn was about 40 years old at the time, which isn't all that old for a half-elf. |

King Zaor was murdered in 1321 DR, which (if I remember the details of Elfshadow correctly, marked the end of Amnestria and Bran's relationship - meaning that Amnestria must have been pregnant with Arilyn at the time. This would mean that Arilyn is born sometime between 1321 and 1323 (since we're not quite sure on the gestation-priod for half-elves ).
Danilo is said to have been born in 1340 DR according to The Complete Forgotten Realms Timeline |

Most NPCs, they avoid giving actual numbers for their age... At least one or two others have been changed after first publication (Drizzt was originally over 200 years old).
Ed has said that Mirt and Durnan are at least 120 years old. And Steven Schend has pegged Khelben's birth to 414 DR. |
