I wonder how old Willy‚ and by extension, the rest of the first-gen crest bearers were cause Jerry is (iirc) over 300 years old according to Nopes (and his Barney support showed he had physical problems). Iirc Willy stepped back after WoH but there's no mention of when he died‚ like do fake their deaths cause they would be outliving multiple generations. Do they travel out of the continent? Do their children also have long lifespans? (Assuming that they survived the WoH.)
Willy ask?
Yep, we don't know when he died, but in Nopes, Seteth says he's long dead, and Rhea, uh, misses him and wishes he was around when fighting against Supreme Leader.
Jerry growing old and feeble is really one of the things Nopes annoyed me with, because come on, Rhea could just have waited for Nemesis to become unable to fight to rekt him... but no, Nemesis was still a force to be reckoned with.
We don't have any timeline, but Nemesis should have been well over 100 just like the Elites at the time of their death, and I guess Willy was, at the end of the WoH, something like around 120 or 150 (Rhea most likely didn't made him emperor when he was a kid!).
TFW Jerry's not feeling old age catch up to him, but the consequences of his excessive drinking
IIRC the Book of Seiros says only the Elites (thus by extension the first gen crested people) live long, not their children - we know the Elites sans Maurice were terminated, but we don't know about the other major crested randoms (Bergliez/Aegir ancestor, Varley 1, etc etc).
I don't see them faking their deaths even if they outlive several generations because, hey, Willy's the living example of someone who lived over 100, just like the Elites, and I guess the "reasoning" behind the Elites' extended lifespan also applied to them? (something like first gen crest bearers were "blessed specially" by the Goddess so they have an extended lifespan ?) contrary to Nabateans who do not seem to age as fast as crested humans, and live up to 1k years.
Maybe they travel around the continent or just remained in Fodlan being either cryptids or travelling around to help randoms (like the Apostles who ultimately founded their own villages?) and died somewhere.
I'm rather fond of the HC that First Gen crest bearers, just like Nabateans, don't decay or decay more "slowly" than other humans, they still can't be harvested for Relics or whatnot, but it serves to make them stand apart from the other crestless humans - which of course would have been used by Adrestian Nobles, especially the ones who descend from them, to brag about how "special" they were (and conveniently, the bodies of the Elites were never recovered*, so they are the only ones who can prove their descent from someone "special"!).
*tfw Thales had already recovered them first then put them in his freezer before Rhea or the Elite's descendants could even wonder why their tombs/graves/resting places were empty
#anon#replies#is it the wilhelm hour?#FE16#war of heroes stuff#i mean it's mostly about them#then about Jerry#Willy's body is specially conserved in some sort of magical see through coffin#Seeing Willy became a tourist attraction in Enbarr#Emperors were so mad bcs Willy's attraction was sold as 'see the eternal great emperor wilhelm for 10 coins!'#and uh he's already dad damn it what's this nonsense about eternal emperors?? They're the ones in charge!#Given how the zombies of VW aren't described as a gang of old people wrecking people#I really wonder about the 'decaying after death' thing#Jerry growing old and feeble because of his age is also nonsensical to me#again Nemesis and his pals were doing bandit things until Seiros rekted them#they were well over 100 or even 150 if we want because Rhea came out of the mountains in -46 or something#Nemesis looks like an old crusty bastard and yet he's a force of nature#unless Sothis' blood has special properties regarding the humans who ingest it#I can't see Jerry feeling old and weak at 300 when at most likely 200 Nemesis is alive and kicking enough to be a serious foe to Seiros
