Note that the wizard Sandor lived for a long time with sorcery. Not in top condition, but he was only an Easterner, probably mostly self-taught. The Empress's lover could have better instruction -- say from the Sorceress in Green, as one obviously qualified candidate. Somehow I don't feel that Noish-pa is the sort to choose an unnaturally long life. Good health for his lifespan, yes, but he doesn't strike me as the clingy sort. And maybe he could look younger, but this would have social drawbacks. None of Morrolan's witches actually live that long; Arra is maintained by the Demon Goddess, not witchcraft. -xx- Damien X-)
