I was doing some profile work ahead of the coming debuts that need to be done and while I was at it, I started adapting the family tree of House Saint-Charles (i.e. the Byrandian royal family). We’ll overlook the fact that Miravellan years are longer than Alkoreshi years to make the conversions easier. For that matter, we also overlook the issues that come with translating the ages of Miravellan characters. If you recall, it’s not just the lower numerical age due to the longer years but also modifications done to the gene stock in the Pre-Calamity era resulted in a slower aging process, an experiment in permanent juvenation (not done on a more widespread basis because restricting access to juvenation and life extension therapies are a major tool of control in the Empire, even for the Imperial Family). It just makes things simple to say the characters’ Miravellan age is their Alkoreshi age.

I imagine I’ll mostly be doing more profile writing tomorrow as well, but we’ll see. Stay tuned.
