For my WotBS game, I've been going with elves growing to physical maturity a bit slower than humans, and the equivalent of "mental maturity" by human standards at around the same time. Elvish culture, on the other hand, separates "not-a-child" and "full adult" by many decades. One of the reasons they have a superiority complex is that the younger races simply don't have a period of time where they become full members of society. Being 100 years of age is a formal requirement to participate in politics, inherit titles, be recognized as a master in anything, etc., and you're not supposed to have kids until you reach that age.
Shalosha is about 50 years old in this timeline, and was a young child when the purge happened, so she might have trouble crowning herself after Shaaladel is dealt with. Fortunately(?) for her, Shaaladel himself blazed a trail in that regard, conquering Taranesti and becoming the de-facto king a few years before he actually turned 100. He's around 150 now.
It's relatively rare for elves, especially fighting men, to live longer than 200. If you see that much combat, no matter how good you are, sooner or later your time will come. On top of that, living an active, productive life will cause the inevitable day that you take your last Trance to arrive sooner, rather than later. Those who actually reach 700+ are remembered forever as the wisest elders to grace society, and most of those individuals lead quiet lives, their primary contributions to society being things like advice, artistic expression, and magical study.
Of course, in your own game, you can come up with whatever you'd like for your pointy-eared fascists.
