He recently tried to fight a seasoned sailor/pirate with a cutlass. The crowd said that we look dangerous. I wouldn't say that of a 12 years old. The confrontation with the former owner of our cutlass felt like a group of elder teen doing a bravado act. I'd lean more toward 17 years-old.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Yay!But, Marla cast a spell. If she was 18 when she met Landor and, well, got pregnant quickly, when did she had time to study sorcery? I don't think she practiced a lot in her shepherd's hut while nursing Carr. I think it confirms she was a 1st year student, and 18 to conform to current morality. If later, the Fear spell is described as being very advanced, it will give credence to an older Marla scenario.Honestly, as you summarized the situation, I felt something was off with this illness. She was great 5 days ago, got a cold, became catatonic and died in the space of 5 days? I know there are illnesses out there that can do that in real life, but I suspected poisoning (especially given the warm welcome from her cousin...) If she was 44, in a medieval society, I suspected she'd have been married much earlier and we'd have half-brothers and sister from an earlier wedding. I'm sticking to my hypothesis so far. There is still the problem with Ulrik. It's Marla's cousin. He's our age I surmise. I can only explain that if Marla was the youngest daugther and Ulrik's parent were the eldest.Are we certain we fled 2 years ago? Not around the time of Landor's death? Because, Saven doesn't seem to be a huge megalopolis. Thayne is living there. Mum lived there for 13-15 years, raised a son, and... (1) we don't know the whereaboutu of Saven despite having grown up there (2) Thayne or Beldon could have attempted to make contact before.I'd say we were on the lam ever since Landor's death.Obviously nothing about the Academy building...Oh, I mixed Saven and Freeton.</blockquote>
