I was detail-diving. Belaur was the oldest of the Warring Princes of Athalantar, and was 29 when El was 12. El's father, Elthryn, was born fourth. If we assume close births, then Elthryn was likely 26 when he was killed. Could've been a bit older but only by a year or two (god help their mother). That means he was likely 14 when El was born

#OOC / HOLLY.#and El was only 4 when their grandfather was killed . . .#Elthryn was said to have left court life 'early on'#I think pulling all the details together that Elthryn fell for Amrythale [a forrester's daughter]#and ended up fathering El — by accident but not unhappily #took care of them both for perhaps a year or two #before Uthgrael [El's grandpa and the king] let Elthryn renounce his titles and leave court #old enough to be a man and make his own 'mistakes' [except Elthryn was probably Uthgrael's favorite tbh]#then he became 'the uncrowned lord of Heldon'. meaning there was no official lord but the people there respected him as their leader #he wanted nothing to do with court life esp once the war of succession broke out and tried to keep El out of it #then the whole village got destroyed in dragon fire so
