Chris Olson - SunPS wondered aloud to the group:

I think it is. Baritt and the SiG for sure. We don't know how old Loraan
or Sethra the Younger are. All of the other big-time sorcerors and wizards
we know of are young, or at least still within the normal limits of a
Dragaeran lifetime. Except Sethra Lavode, who's probably a special case,
who probably derives her long life from Dzur Mountain and not from being a
wizard.
However, complicating the analysis, we don't know for sure that Dragaerans
die of old age. We know they get old, but I think we haven't seen any die
of it, and certainly not any wizards. Perhaps the elves are more
Tolkienesque than just in their height?
