It was the impression I formed from his responsibilities, what we saw of his POV, his general reactions, the reactions of others to him. There is someone on the list who would know a lot better :<) It may be that some of the evidence I was taking for youth was instead due to the general culture including being Teckla. >I agree that the young Khaavren corresponds to 15-20 years old.
