Editing Continuity/Gharu'ndim History (section)

== Speculation: Ages ==
The ages of Rakhil, Amul, Yasif, and Mansur can help us with the timeline. Here is what we know:
* 924: Rakhil, Amul, and Yasif are alive.
* 924: Rakhil dies.
* 941 to 947 (approx.): Mansur is 19 at this time, and Amul is not yet 40.
* 1002 (approx.): Yasif dies.
* 1003 (approx.): Amul dies.
* 1022 (approx.): Mansur is alive.

Therefore:
* Yasif lived for ''at least'' 78 years.
* Amul lived for ''at least'' 79 years.
* Mansur was born, perhaps, between 922 and 928. This means he lived at least 94 to 100 years. 

We can make a few assumptions about their ages:
* Rakhil must be older than his son Amul. He perhaps had Amul between the ages of 15 to 20.
* Yasif was probably around the same age as Rakhil.
* Given that Yasif, instead of taking the throne, became Amul's advisor, it may imply that Amul was young when he became king, and Yasif felt he needed guidance. We will assume that he is perhaps 15.

With that, we can revise our guesses for their ages:
* 889 to 894: If Rahkil had Amul when he was 15 to 20, Rakhil was born in this time.
* 889 to 894: If we assume Yasif is the same age or younger than Rakhil, he was born in this time or later.
* 909: If, in 924, Amul was 15, he was born this year.
* 924: Rakhil and Yasif are perhaps 30 to 35. Amul is 15.
* 925: If in 944 Mansur is 19, he is born this year.
* 944: If, when Amul was "not yet 40" we assume that he was 35, he would be 35 this year. This fits into our above range of 941 to 947.
* 1002: If Yasif was born between 889 to 894, when he died he was 108 to 113.
* 1003: If Amul was born in 909, when he died he was 94.
* 1022: If Mansur was born in 925, when he wrote To Be A Shadow he was 97.

Jojii is mentioned to have died at the age of 108, so the age of Yasif is not outside the realm of possibility for Isparians, especially Isparians of great power and importance. While it is odd that Amul was poisoned at age 94, and never had a child, it is still plausible.
