Three times as long...that's quite a trade. Elves were supposedly immortal in ancient times, but now they match the lifespan of every other race native to Thedas. Supposedly, that diminishing is the fault of the humans as well; I cannot say for certain, given that was well before my time.

Are you their ruler? It's a strange trend, but more than a few rifters we have encountered seem to be kings or queens.
