LotS Discussion

I'm gathering notes for the rewrite of my legendland hiatus fic and I'd appreciate some input on character ages in show canon, specifically in relation to Darken, Giller, and Jeziah.

Darken is in his late thirties I think, and younger than in the books. Zedd is in his sixties? So when Darken was a baby, Zedd was maybe in his late twenties.

How old is Giller, and how old is Jeziah? My feeling is that Jeziah is older than Giller. I also think Darken is older than Giller. I've got a scene with Darken at around thirteen years old, and I need one of Zedd's students at the palace. To my mind, Jeziah would be late teens or so, while Giller would be younger – still a child.

That said, have at it in the comments. It doesn't really matter in an AU I suppose, but I'm trying to keep a few elements intact, and I don't want to mess about with the ages too badly. So what would most convince you?

I still think Giller is older than Darken because of the sexy gray hair.
And I find the actor very attractive as Giller cuz, come on, doesn't he look a bit like Severus? *drools*

I just don't see Giller as older than Darken let alone Jeziah. It's a false assumption that a grey hair or two makes someone older; Giller just looks more youthful overall. I really wish the show had given us more details about things like when Jeziah trained with Zedd, and how old Darken was specifically. But yes, Giller has definitely got a Severus vibe going! I'll write a specific Giller fic/some artwork to make it up to him. That uniform pic in the link gives me Thoughts :D

I think it's more I don't like Giller's robes than anything else. I was like YOWZA when I went to his actor page to find his age and saw his other headshots. Especially the uniform ones!
