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.

Yeah, I'd totally agree that it's open to interpretation. (And kind of love the "OMG, no Celene! But I wanted hot Empress sex!" interpretation.) Then again, he's never met Celene, so I'm not sure why he'd be super disappointed at her loss...although maybe he's seen her picture. Or is really curious.

It's weird. The first time I read through those codices, I totally had the impression that Cailan and Celene had met before. Can't for the life of me figure out why, now.

It's possible they did. It would seem kind of weird to be flirting via letter if they hadn't. Then again, Cailan strikes me as a bit of a flirt, so maybe he's just being friendly. (Or trying to be.)
