: While it's never explicitly stated, I see it like this:
: Avatara do age, but a lot more slowly than normal
: humans. Think of them as being a bit like the LOTR men
: of Numenor in that respect- unlike the Heron Guard,
: who are simply unaffected by time.
: Myrdred's thousand-year lifespan is probably more a
: factor of his being a Fallen Lord than his being an
: Avatara. After all, they can do weird evil rituals and
: soul-draining and suchlike, which any "good"
: Avatara would severely frown on (at least!)
It deoends on what dreams you know I suppose, or how powerful you are. A focused Mage can probably prolong his life indefinately whereas a weaker mage may only be able to add a few decades. I have a feeling that Myrdrd only looks like an Old man because it suits is style.
