[Dragaera] A Teckla thought

[Kenneth Gorelick]

Not too much elderly decrepitude in Dragaera. Maybe they live a full life and then die?  Who has seen any retired Dragaerans?

Even though G'aereth is older, this description is scarcely someone who is close to death. Granted, 500 more years have passed until the time of Vlad from the point where G'aereth was killed, but "retirement" lasting for 400-500 years seems to be a ratio about the same as what we would expect proportionally from a human lifespan (approximately the last 20% or so of your life).
