[SPOILERS] Shadowheart is older than I thought.

[The Custodians of The Cosmos]

Despite not looking a day over 25, honestly I thought that's how old she was but nope.

In Act3 when you get to House of Grief, head North from the boss fight chamber and interact with the end bookcase on the left and she will say "These are all about me...*40 years* of my life, undocumented like I was some sort of specimen."

Oh, and her real name is Jenevelle.

Edit: i'm pretty new to DnD proper, had my first session with some friends before BG3 came out so I'm not well-versed in the races/lore behind it all yet so please don't come at me with vile or sarcastic comments.

This just in... Shadowheart is also confirmed to be half elf too. They live longer.

[Soul in Shadow]

That's half-elves for you

[Sieglinde Eilserv]

She's a half elf, they don't age like humans.

[Naamtar]

Isn't she a half-elf? That makes her super young, no?

"Age: Half-elves mature at the same rate humans do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They live much longer than humans, however, often exceeding 180 years. Alignment: Half-elves share the chaotic bent of their elven heritage."

[Wenzel]

... aaaaand?

[Kafik]

Spoilers: elves have longer lifespans than humans. Half Elves have an expected lifespan of 180 years in 5E.
Google is a thing.

That too, just she doesn't look older than 25, half-elfs really got the better end of the aging deal!

[Narky]

She's a High Half Elf (check her character stats). They have a slight fey appearance about them in D&D.

They look youthful for longer.

[★REM★]

Are half elf supposed to age as much as humans?

High-elfs live to be around 750 and don't mature until they're about 100, yah?

[Douchebag Extraordinaire]

Half Elves are known to live twice as long as humans, so if their lifespan has the equivalency of a human's life cycle (child -> teen -> young adult -> adult -> elder), 40 seems to be the right way. With the timeskip of the second game to the third, it would make sense.

Gonna blow your mind how old Aerie is in BG2.

Apparently not! I've only recently gotten into DnD proper so don't know the ins-and-outs of the races so this came as quite a surprise to me if I'm honest. According to Kfuk up above, they have an expected lifespan of 180 years, she is roughly 1/4 the way through her life give or take some years. It's pretty fascinating stuff to say the least!

Typically, yeah. So even a Half High-Elf will live exceptionally longer than a human.

I've played BG2 before but didn't get far into it I'll admit that now. How old is this Aerie you speak of?
