When did the story of Wizardry 4 happen? (I know it's a little off the topic)(spoilers)

I know it's a little off the topic, yet if there are any wizardry fans using steam, they are likely to gather here.

I really wonder when wizardry 4 happaned.

My opinion is, it happened after Wzardry 3 and before Wizardry 5, because in the True-ending of Wizardry 4, the people of Llylgamyn was disillusioned of the faith of the fake god Kadorto by Werdna.

And in Wizardry 5, people of Llylgamyn did not retain the old faith any more. They started to worship a new fake god (Lala Moo-Mo). (although the homonymous priest magic Kadorto was still in use.)

And in Wizardry 3, the faith of Kadorto was still prevalent, because in the Instruction Book of the game, the sages of Llylgamye bade the players farewell saying: "May Kadorto have mercy on your souls." (And this was the first time the faith of Kadorto ever mentioned.)

So it makes sense that 4 happened between 3 and 5.

But there is a problem.

If 4 happened after 3, then it must be 100 years or so after 1, because the player characters of Wizardry 3 were descendants of the player characters in Wizardry 1.

And the enemies of Wizardry 4 were said to be those player characters who finished the main mission of Wizardry 1.

If so, how old were they? Did they somehow achieve immortality?

I'm a bit confused.

I have no idea really, but where does the 100 years come from? Just because they are descendants, doesnt mean that they are more than one generation apart.

Because the instruction book says that the new heroes somehow had the souls of their ancestors imbued into their own souls through some ritual.

Then I may safely presume that their ancestors had been all dead by then. And some of them were dwarves and eleves....

Yet on other thoughs, Wizardry 1-5 seems to happen in a magic kingdom, where the concept of "time" is somehow different than our world.

One example is that, if you choose to let one party member stay in the inn, the result is that only he will grow old. For the others, "time" does not elapse.

Also, in Wizardry 1-5, it takes a few years for a character to change class after he or she meets the requirements. He (or she) may stay in the training ground for four to five years. Yet this process, to the players, is instant. Only the character who changes class will grow old. other characters' age will be unchanged.
