*Older* sister?  Read page 3 again - Polyi is his *little* sister.

Also, on page 80, they sing "Dung-Foot Peasant", and Polyi sings
some verses that have been added since he was her age, and he sings
some verses that have been forgotten (since the songs changes by
that much, I'd guess that there's about a decade between them).

In "Orca", Kiera estimates him to be "not more than 90" (pg 5).

I suspect now that he's only a little younger than Khaavren was in
TPG, 95, and that that age is approximately equivalent to 15 or 16
(maybe even 17?).  Obviously, Khaavren was more mature than Savn, but
I suspect that given that humans can mature at different rates,
Dragaerans can as well, and have more years for that maturity to vary,
if you see what I mean.
