Hi guys, just a little thing I picked up that is annoying me.

The White-Gold Concordant was agreed to at the end of the war yes? Which was around twenty-five years prior to Skyrim, and the war started a few years before that. So my question is, given that certain characters speak as though they were there, what are their ages? The main two that bug me are Ulfric Stormcloak and Jarl Balgruuf. I can't imagine them being any older than their late forties, but even then, that would put them as being fairly young during the war.

If anyone knows something, or is willing to take a guess, that would be helpful.

So consider being late 40? Say 49.. Which would make them what, 24 by the time the war ended? How impossible is this? Back at this time you were usualy married and had family on the way at the age of 16 so its not really that incredible

Delphine fought the in great war, and she looks 30 so, i don't even wanna know

You realize age in TES isn't like age in the real world right....? Divayth Fyr is over 2000 years old.

Correction. 4000 years old.

I think she's in her 50s

Christ really? Didn't even know Dunmer could live that long...

Yeah, see that's what I thought. It's not really incredible.. except they look really good for their age

Elves and stuff don't really concern me. I can see how they'd be quite old. It's just the humans that I find tricky

Ulfric is the only one that looks younger then 45.

Tullius would be around 50 from his looks, Ulfric was only a minor officer in the war so about 45. Delphine may be 35 as teenagers would have been forced to fight in desperate times.

Also remember magic prolongs life and looks in the TES world

Normally they don't, commoners live around 180 years, Nobles about 400-500 and wizards live about 1000-2000 (Divayth is a special case).

How is that a correction? I said he was over 2000. My statement stands true.

I'm pretty sure Delphine is explicitly stated to be over 50 years old. If memory serves, it was in one of the journals you can find in the Thalmor embassy.

Delphine is in her mid 50s, as stated in the Thalmor dossier on her. She looks very good for her age, but in certain lights you can see some wrinkles.

There are previous threads discussing Ulfric's age, and the general consensus seems to be that he's around 45-50, at least 42-43. We know he was only a child when he came to the Greybeards, and most likely in his late teens when he joined the war.
I think he looks his age. As with Delphine, in certain lights you see the wrinkled forehead better.

My guess is that Balgruuf is approximately the same age as Ulfric, perhaps a couple of years younger.

I am however confused about the age of Jarl Idgrod Ravencrone. To me, she looks to be in her late 50s, maybe over 60. But her daughter looks to be around 20, and (more important) her son hasn't reached puberty yet. Most middle-aged women with grown children (Laila Law-Giver, Maven Black-Briar) looks much younger than Idgrod. I wonder if she was supposed to be the grandmother, not the mother...?

Vampire-Immortal

Altmer 600-800 years (1,000 uncomfirmed)

Dark Elf 400-600 (Rarity)

Bosmer 100-175

Orc unofficial 90-100 (Highly unlikely due to their brutal nature)

Breton 70-90 (due to being quarter to half elvish)

Redguard, Nord, Imperial 60 to rarely 70's

I think in the Elder Scrolls world all races age slower then ours,Thats how I always saw things in these games.

According to the Thalmor dossier, Delphine is in her 50's. Esbern is in his 70's.
