Question about eladrin lifetimes (Diaspora)

Elfshire

First Post
Okay, so this mostly concerns Diaspora, but technically I'm only in Chapter 4 right now.

One of my players asked the question, "Is it common for there to be eladrin who have been alive since the Great Malice?" and I didn't really know how to respond. I know Kasvarina has of course, but she and the matriarchs were kind of the exception to the rule, and I didn't want to mention it, since I think it's only vaguely alluded to in the ZGPG.

In the official 4e PHB, eladrin "live for over 300 years." I'm guessing this means they usually cap out around 350. But reading through Diaspora, I noticed that Sor Daeron has lived for more than five centuries--though he does age, unlike Kasvarina.

So, what's the answer to my player's question, if I may ask? What are eladrin life expectancies supposed to be like? Is there some exception about Sor that I missed?

I've gone by the assumption while writing that the only eladrin still left alive are:

Kasvarina
Thrynshalles
Sor Daeron
anyone the GM or the players come up with

It might be possible for eladrin to live many centuries, like elves (who I think cap out at ~750 in PF/D&D), but attrition has killed off most of the oldest eladrin.
