Math is Hard! (age question)

[darkrose]

How old is Loghain at the beginning of Origins? How old was Maric when he disappeared? (I know DG has confirmed that he's dead, but for fic-writing purposes, as far as I'm concerned he's only comic-book dead.)

The inconsistency of dating between novels and game makes my poor little non-mathematically-inclined brain hurt.

the serving wench would have to take off his pants and sit on him, because Maric doesn't take initiative

I have my hand clamped over my mouth so I don't wake my husband with laughing. These Theirin boys are a total riot.

And confirmed by Alistair!

* Leliana: You are Maric's son; you are the rightful king of Ferelden.
* Alistair: I am the son of a star-struck maid and an indiscreet man who just happened to be king. Look, I can't be king. Some days I have trouble figuring out which boot goes on which foot.
* Leliana: Complete fools are made leaders of kingdoms all the time, and you're not a complete fool.
* Alistair: What an utter relief.
* Leliana: And don't worry about the boots. Kings don't need to dress themselves. that's what advisors are for, isn't it?
* Alistair: And star-struck maids, apparently.

Only a clueless Theirin boy like Alistair would make the mistake of thinking that maids dress Kings. Clearly they concentrate on undressing them. Duh.
