Guild Wars 2

Hi, Im just in the middle of writting something in regards to Charr History, and I need to know how old Rytlock is so that I may have an understanding of how old charr can be/get and understand their maturity levels.

Thanks.

Old enough…That is all I have to say.

Unknown.

Edit: Sans Caithe, same goes for all DE members – and most major non-sylvari modern NPCs to boot (I think Taimi and Braham are the only major NPCs beyond Firstborn sylvari we know the age of – oh, aside from Dougal Keane and Killeen).

Charr and Norn can get pretty old and be combat fit.

Eir IIRC, is ‘old’ by destiny’s edge.

I’d say hes at least 30, possibly late-20s. By the way, while deciding the ages for my own Charr characters, I was able to look at a few characters, such as the charr heroes that are seen in the Memorial Quadrant of the Black Citadel and I figured out that the natural lifespan of a Charr is approximately 60 years, however most Charr die in battle or of their wounds long before then.

There is a charr in the BC who is over 90 years old. He’s near the Diassa/Nolan gate (north gate).

Thanks for the imput guys, will investigate these memorials and check that old charr out.

Charr age at roughly the same age as humans. But since they’re far more military-based, most charr don’t live to old age. And those that do tend to go out on what they call a “final patrol” so that they die fighting.

I’d put Rytlock at early 30s/late 20s myself, but not earlier and not past 40. But it’s hard to tell really. He does seem like a charr who’s still relatively young in Edge of Destiny – I’d put him in his early 20s in the novel (which would put him late 20s in-game).

I’m not so sure about Eir. I remember it being said during F&F that Braham’s father sent Eir away after he was born because she was too young to be tied down to a family yet. Braham’s only in his teens, so that would still leave Eir somewhat shy of old.

I not sure about him saying Eir was too young. I think it was something like “Wolf has great plans for her” or something.

Yeah, what’s said isn’t that Eir’s young but rather: " She is capable of great things, as are you. She must not be tempted to stray from her path. Wolf walks beside her. But you mustn’t worry. He walks beside you as well, my son. Never forget that."

During the BWE, with the heirloom storyline I recall seeing that Eir was a child when Hoelbrak was being built – though I haven’t seen it since so I may either misremember or it was removed since. But that line would place her to be likely around (or over) 100 years old – which wouldn’t be out of place, given that norn are well fit even at old age. Would also fit with the constant mentions of Eir being called old (by everyone except Knut Whitebear). Though with what remains in-game: we know she’s old enough to have a 10/11 year old son when she formed Destiny’s Edge. Which would place her absolutely no younger than mid-20s but most likely no younger than mid-30s. But given norn mentality, it seems unlikely she’d had wanted a son (let alone had one with a famous warrior given the whole “relationships between equals” mentality of the norn) even at such an age. I expect just out of norn culture let alone also aging speed, that they tend to have children at a much later age than other races (well, except the longer-living races like ogres).

No, not in the story, it was a dev interview- maybe the TowerTalk one. Eir herself might have mentioned it in one of the instances too.

EDIT: “I was young and eager to prove myself.” source I believe the interview expanded on that line, but to be honest I don’t feel like listening through the whole thing to double-check.
