Lore questions!

- Do the Sharlayans have the Echo, or something more? 1.0 gave impressions that they were something more than human during it's main scenario (some examples that spring to mind is the way they fought against Baelsar, and the subsequent conversation with your citystate's Sharlayan saying they "sought more power" from Hydaelyn herself, and the Seventh Umbral Era storyline showing that they had varying abilities which aren't present in any class or job. (Y'shtola duplicating herself repeatedly for example.) 2.0 appears to convey the Sharlayans in a more human light, but I have noticed that while other NPCs have aged and changed appearance throughout before 1.0 / 1.0 / and 2.0, the Sharlayans haven't changed a bit - except for the fact they now have aether reading devices. Thancred for example looks the same as he did 25 years ago at the Goobue incident in Ul'dah. Have they an extended lifespan preventing them from aging, or are they actually from the future, and using the Echo to be in our present time?
