Lifespans

In the rules of the Legend Quest - Elves and dwarves have similar life spans to humans. They do not live to be centuries old. This is reflected throughout Sylansse but should be something you can easily alter to make Sylansse more compatible with your game rules.

However - We recommend that you consider making the lifespans of all humanoids roughly the same, except for the royal elves. The royal family of the elven empire is now laced with divine blood. Since the family is descended from demi-gods / avatars who have at least one divine parent, or multiple divine grandparents, it seems appropriate (and is the way we will assume it works) that the royal elves do in fact live for centuries, possibly as long as 1,000 years before they would die of old age.

This is not entirely the same as some games would have it. These royal / divine elves age roughly the same as humans, if not faster. By twenty years old, they will be adults - at least physically. They would then live another 500 years in the prime of their lives, only beginning to age after those five centuries or so.

We feel this grants the World of Sylansse, a somewhat unique character, a little something that helps set it apart from most generic worlds.
