[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9439834, member: 6684958"] So I'm sure the Real World answer is this: Back in the Time Before Time (aka the 80's) all of this Character lore and history was first crafted...and was kept vague. To show that on Kyrnn folks don't care about facts so closely, as they are fine with "oh they were born a couple years ago". And also the sort of vague confusion of creating all the lore and not exactly keeping track of every detail. Oh and you had like more then one person telling stories about Kyrnn.....and lets just say not all of the stories match up. But, also, long ago, The Dragonlance novel line did state "the books should be seen as more legends, not absolute hard facts". A lot of the novels even promote this as they say something like "this is the rumored tale" or "this is one account" or something like that to keep it vague. I'm sure one of the 'accounts' has the boys at 13 and Kit at 16. But by '98 or so there was a LOT of Companions history....and having it make sense time wise was never going to work. It is possible MW was just trying to smooth out the timeline. Or maybe she just "liked'' them at younger ages. Or maybe TSR forced her to make the ages Young as they wanted to sell and promote a 'kids book'. All that being said....well, even in the 80's .....some parents would leave kids of ages like six home alone. For REAL. And, it's not impossible for a female of 13 to be a 'full looking woman'....some do develop at 10 or 11, it's not exact or anything. [/QUOTE]
