meridian_roseI'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?

First Demmin, and then later Egremont - and then there's that guy in 'Conversion' who's supposed to be a childhood friend, although since he's plotting to kill Darken maybe they weren't that close...I actually wonder how he met Giller, too, because they seem to have known each other for awhile, though probably not since childhood.
I actually think Darken has more friends, or acquaintances anyway, who are not going to be thrilled when/if Richard takes the throne of D'Hara.
