The Nords stole their lifespans from the Orcssss. I don't know why the Nords would want to keep that story around actually.

I would think an Orsimer could live about a century and a half or around that. They're still mer that have suffered a similar "Cursed" fate that the Dunmer have, they just have developed a culture based in war, so lives end prematurely, and in fact they are expected to end prematurely.

But I'm also biased and like the idea of the Old Orcs you find being about eighty to ninety.

The Trinimalauchmer are like ... cavemen. 30 or 40 must be craaazy old. It's like horses--sure, they can live quite a while, but even five-years is crazy old (Seabiscuit) for the racetracks. They keep 'm about two-years-old. Their* preferred style of living is like gargling lead for breakfast and chainsawjuggling tournaments.


*edit, the orcs, not horses
Well, beside the badass horses

Yes, I suppose it's as easy as that.

"What you learn here will last you a lifetime. Several if you're talented." - Archmage Savos Aren

Mundrial metabolic activity releases free-padhicals into the body which mehrunizes the delicate helical filigree of anufibrils from whence the mortal corpus derives its form. While acutely harmless, the chronic damage which accumulates over a lifetime is responsible for the phenomenon (and noumenon) known as aging.

The longevity observed in the magickally-active is a side-effect of the propagation and retention of aetheric particle-waves (SII unit: galerion PSJJJJ unit: iache) in the body, necessary for all thaumaturgical endeavours. The energy of these Galerions/Iaches largely circumvent the need for mundrial nutrition while actually fortifying the latticework of the corporeal anufibrils.

You totally lost me on that one lol

Mortals age due to a TES-ified Free Radical Theory of Aging. Doing magic lets you give your metabolism the middle finger and skip merrily to unnaturally old ages.

We have a winnah! Here, son, have a cigar.

I'm not sure if you make up words or not. How long did it take you to write that?
