Just getting messed up about laguz lifespans and how fucking tragic Kilvas is
I actually went and did the timeline math and realized that there are only 167 years between the Treaty of Sarasa and the start of Path of Radiance, which means there are ravens alive who remember what Begnion rule was like before that. The "plague" could have killed a lot of them, but hell, Nealuchi was definitely alive during the occupation and probably even lived through Kilvas's entire duration, cause the country is only 225 years old in PoR. (225 ÷ the raven lifespan modifier of 3.5 only makes him at least the equivolent of 64 for this, and he looks like he could vary well be older than that.)
I'm also realizing now there are probably only three total sovereigns: the founder (my Queen Kilv in my mind), who probably died in the war or was executed in its conclusion, her probably son? who signed the pact, and then Naesala. That's it. She's only Naesala's... great aunt, probably. Nealuchi could have met her.
Now if only the timeline could specify exactly when the "plague" happened, because that's the nationwide angst I was actually looking for.
