Sharlayan & Poroggo

[Rocl]

Thirty years IS a bit much. Ala Mhigo was conquered in 1557 6AE, 5 years later is the Battle of Silvertear Skies and the subsequent fast abandonment of Eorzean Sharlayan (1562 6AE). The original game (1.0) took place 15 years after Ala Mhigo's conquering in 1572 6AE. A Realm Reborn takes 5 years after that in what would-be 1577 or 1577 6AE. Heavensward is supposedly months (iirc) after ARR.

So yeah, fifteen years is right, and given Kan-E-Senna aging Solus zos Galvus based on the number of winters he's seen I'm doubtful they have an alien seasonal cycle (though it wouldn't be unusual otherwise given the duality of astral/umbral moons).

For reference, one one would wager if there are 2 summers a year, there are 2 winters as well--but that'd make Solus a rather young 40-something. We'd have some sort of winter-spring-summer-fall-summer-spring cycle or something to make two summers a year to one winter fit.
