(view spoiler)[Would you'd be able to confirm/correct my age interpretations of a few characters in the Chronicles of Alsea series (in cycles, as of The Warrior's Challenge)?
Aldirk - Late 50s/early 60s
Lanaril, Nikin - Late 30s/early 40s
Andira, Salomen, Ekatya, Lhyn - Early/mid 30s
Candini, Gehrain, Darzen - Late 20s
Vellmar, Varsi - Mid 20s
Herot - Early 20s
Thank you for your amazing work! (hide spoiler)]

I'm pretty happy about this question because it shows that, despite my wanting to leave actual ages up to the reader (because most of us like to be able to relate to characters, and we relate more easily to those closer to our own ages), what you're picking up on is pretty close to how I see them.
Aldirk is about Micah's age, Lanaril is older than Nikin but still in her early 40s, and Herot is early 20s. I think Varsi is probably mid-20s but Vellmar is a little further along, while Candini and Gehrain are early 30s. Darzen is late 30s or early 40s. The main characters -- Andira, Salomen, Ekatya, and Lhyn -- are in their late 30s and early 40s. I think Salomen is the youngest of that group, but she certainly holds her own with them regardless.

Doing a re-read of the series and just wondered, was the six point bond and Salomen/Lhyn’s tyree bond always going to manifest or was it created by the one on one sharing they undertook in Uprising? I can’t see anywhere where Tal shares only with Lhyn or Salomen only with Ekatya. Is that why they don’t have the deeper bonds or would they not be tyrees even if they did share like that?
