#lifespans

I was bored so I took it upon myself to calculate DN characters lifespans down to the minute—estimates, of course, I'm not a math wiz.

Something I did notice is that only a few of them have actual, realistic lifespans—BUT this is what canon gave us. Idk if there's a canon reason for it but it's funny to think that Near & Aizawa & Ide somehow found a way to cheat death.

Illidan in his novel says a mature night elf could be anywhere between 20-15,000 years old lmao

So assuming they age physically like humans up until 20 then?

This crosses into canon territory and I feel it really isn’t my place to make a comment on it since TCF is still ongoing it’s very plausible that the answers will eventually be revealed if they haven’t already.

We could gather some facts known already and make some hypotheses though...

Oh-

Fae lifespans have not been particularly well recorded or understood- In general understanding, it’s many thousands of years.

I talked about Dragon lifespans earlier, and it varies between various types of dragons- European Dragons like Virgil would live about a little under a thousand years.

Unicorns tend to live about 500 years or so, but some seem to gain a form of functional immortality (aka external factors outside aging are the aspects that may cause mortality)- however this seems to occur seemingly at random, without any particularly notable correlations (or, they’re just lying.)

Thank you for the ask, Nony!

Seeren will probably live to be near 600. Elves have

Astha’s people tend to live to be about 150. They are strong people, but burn out quickly, in terms of other races. Their draconian tendencies war with their mortal bodies. But if one conquers their tendencies, there are rumors of Dragonborn living thousands of years, like the ancient ones did…

Eshad is about as close to immortality as one can get. He would typically just keep existing until he was either killed, or ceased to exist. This is also compounded by the fact he is imprisoned in a lamp that keeps him from ever dying as a means of escape.

Kiyoshi is actually a bit of a conundrum here. As a kitsune, their lifespan is typically 100, but they tend to have multiple lives. it is said the more tails they have, the more lives a kitsune have lived. And of course, magic can be used to extend a lifespan.

Vanerith is a demon, so his lifespan will easily outlive everyone, save Eshad, on this list, living to be nearly 2000 if he so wishes.

Aenon might live to be about 200. The pressures of living deep in the sea wear on their people’s bodies. Being on the surface might give them another 100 years.
