Main characters: How old are they?

[Kallelinski]

If i know one thing about Sapkowski, then that he sucks with numbers, so I rather trust my logic than his numbers

 

[Gennad86]

Yennefer and her were good friends before Geralt even met Yennefer, so assuming Yennefer didn't have a 10-15yo girl as a friend

Why not 20yo? She was 20 when Geralt and Yen first met and it's alright to have 20yo friend, isn't it?
Same goes for her intimate experience. As I've said

n BoE she says she was born half century past the attack on Kaer Morhen, which took place around 1185, so she was born around 1235. It's heavily underlined that she is young, for example, Sabrina calling her The little Merigold etc.

 

[xxRENEGADExx]

If I remember correct Yen said in Thanned during the party that Sabrina Glevissig is her school mate too. So another 100+ (if alive)

Sabrina:
‘Would you believe, Marti, that she had the audacity to introduce me as her schoolmate? Bloede pest, she's years older than me...

Yenn probably trolled her.

Yeah, i read that, but someone like Yennefer having so few real friends is friends with such a young starter?

Makes me suspicious.

 

[Gennad86]

Yeah, i read that, but someone like Yennefer having so few real friends is friends with such a young starter?

Maybe because she really liked her personality?

 

[Kallelinski]

Maybe because she really liked her personality?

Maybe? We just don't know anything more specific about that really.

So we are on the same page anyway, just said that she has to be at least 40-45 just according to that already.

Edit: No matter what people say or lie about.

Numbers say the opposite, your logic isn't absolute in this case (they easily could become friends when Triss was 18 ), so she easily can be 37 or even 35 (because the attack on Kaer Morhen happened around 1185-1188 ).

Yeah, I know, but the problem is, as I said now several times, people say it and we don't know, if they tell the truth and since Sapkowski sucks with numbers, I rather make conclusions by the circumstances and not by hearsay.

Please remind me why he sucks with numbers.

 

[Kallelinski]

Please remind me why he sucks with numbers.

I don't need to, as I said, our results are the same, so why do you insist that you are right and I am not? You can't prove that I am wrong nor can I do it for your conclusions. The only difference is that I try to explain it without being depending on one single "fact".

This is suppose to be a really insightful page about the timeline, too bad I can't read it, but I was told that it is quite accurate.

---------- Updated at 11:55 AM ----------

If at all our conclusions just confirms each other, even though we used different methods, so that's good, isn't it?

I just don't think she is younger than 40 and I think we all agree to that, or not?

 

[Gennad86]

No. I think she is around 37.

Yep, and it also says she was born around 1235.

 

[Kallelinski]

:like: Good for you.

But if I know one thing certain then that numbers aren't really a good measure in this world, even the games have messed them up

 

[Gennad86]

even the games have messed them up

The games did, but the timeline in the books is rather strict. We can see that on the example of Ciri's age - in BoE she says she is almost 13, and in The Lady of The Lake Emhyr says he met Geralt 16 years ago when Pavetta was pregnant with Ciri, and it takes 3 years between Geralt, Ciri and Triss going to Ellander and the Stigg battle.

 

[xxgwxx]

I doubt Philippa is already 300 years old, rather 150-200, even though it could be possible

From BoE:

Apart from that, Philippa Eilhart was an important figure in the Council of Wizards, and King Vizimir’s trusted court magician. She was a very talented enchantress. Word had it that she was one of the few to have mastered the art of polymorphy. She looked thirty. In truth she was probably no less than three hundred years old.

 

[vahouth]

1. So Triss is younger than Dandelion?
2. How old is Zoltan?

 

[Gennad86]

1. So Triss is younger than Dandelion?

Yep.

2. How old is Zoltan?

No one knows. However, dwarves can live for very long, just like elves.

 

[Ljesnjanin]

Dwarves are considered as mature when they turn 50...This is mentioned in BoE, iirc...

Zoltan looks like a grown up and mature dwarf

75? 125? Who knows...

 

[moonknightgog]

Geralt is 97 in the books. This means he is around 103 in the game.

 

[Gennad86]

Geralt is 97 in the books.

Where is it stated?

 

[moonknightgog]

Where is it stated?

I remember that the old Pen & Paper says that Geralt and Yennefer have the same age. So, if Yen is 97 years old, Geralt is the same.
