Womboots asked Fletcher DeLancey:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Fletcher DeLancey I'm pretty happy about this question because it shows that, despite my wanting to leave actual ages up to the reader (because most of us like to be able to relate to characters, and we relate more easily to those closer to our own ages), what you're picking up on is pretty close to how I see them.

Aldirk is about Micah's age, Lanaril is older than Nikin but still in her early 40s, and Herot is early 20s. I think Varsi is probably mid-20s but Vellmar is a little further along, while Candini and Gehrain are early 30s. Darzen is late 30s or early 40s. The main characters -- Andira, Salomen, Ekatya, and Lhyn -- are in their late 30s and early 40s. I think Salomen is the youngest of that group, but she certainly holds her own with them regardless.
