Re: To quote you RTDB Cannoli Send a noteboard - 15/10/2012 05:27:47 AM
Morgase's age is well known, she had kids young. Morgase has lived a comfortable life and won't look anywhere near as old as a farm wife of her same age.
But Pedron Niall would be familiar with other people who have had similarly comfortable lives. And she did not have kids that young. She took the throne and married at 19. 20 is not remotely young to be having kids for a high ranking aristocrat in a pre-industrial society. As I said, no one has commented on Elayne being young to be pregnant, because she is not. 18 is a perfectly normal age to be having your first kid, and according to Niall, Morgase still looks too young to be Elayne's mother. Morgase was 19 before she ever had a kid. She is 25 years older than Elayne, but looks no more than 15 years older. She has almost certainly slowed a tiny bit.

Elayne is too young to have begun slowing. She herself tells Nynaeve slowing begins between 20-25 ... But in 20 years she'll probably look exactly like she does right now. Melanie could be anywhere from 30-80 for all we really know. WO live exposed to the weather and likely have shorter life expectancy due to the harsh conditions so it's very possible Melaine just looks older than her years despite slowing due to living in the waste.
True.

Sorilea could also be much younger than Cadsuane assumes. She thinks her grand daughter's grand son is an appropriate match for Egwene ... Which could make her as young as 150 ... Assuming she had kids at a normal age, by no means proof.
No way to tell one way or another, which did not stop the wotmania FAQ from making absolute declarations, which led me to declare it linda_sedai's personal theory post and write it off as a reliable resource.
