"-...Of one thing we can confirm. The Queen is more that 7343 years old. Seven thousand three hundred and forty three years old is the most common age attributed to her (on this particular year of writing) and that number is more than sufficient to drive into the minds of the peasantry her importance and divinity.
However, that isn't her real age. It cannot be. That number is most closely associated with the year. It is currently the year 7343AC, Age Approxia. For yes, Our Dear Queen is so constant and steady that you can measure units of time in direct regards to her Coronation Ceremony. She was crowned Ruler of Borossa 7343 years ago.
The more astute among you might have already caught onto where I am going with this line of thinking. ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐ข ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ ๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฏ ๐ฃ๐บ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ช๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ข๐ด ๐ค๐ณ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฅ. Surely she must have been a child once? Or perhaps at least younger?
She ages slowly if at all. This is known. For the oldest statues depicting her victory over Eldernwrn (2000AC, end of Age of Conquest) are uncannily similar to her current appearance. How many year would have needed to pass for her to have grown from a child into a grown woman?
Some of the earliest, unconfirmed and possibly mythologized, reports we have of her are her first arrival to the continent itself. Some 1500 years before her Coronation where it is said a simple family found her washed a shore amid a broken boat still cradling her faithful wolf companion. And yet here she was only ever described as "adolescent". We have no other indication of how old she appeared to be or even was in reality. Although taking into consideration her slowed aging it's possible she was already very old indeed.
Unfortunately at this time we do not have the resources, the information or personnel to launch into a more in-depth analysis of the age of our beloved Queen. Perhaps, such questions could be levied upon the Queen herself... Were she not so dreadful busy within the winding corridors of the Balehome Castle...-"
