Even so, I was led to believe the time spent in the First before we were sent here was 2 years, albeit it only accounting for far less time in the Source. But now time in both are synced? They're doing a poor job of explaining this. I suppose it would be up to you to deliberate on whether 'compressed time' (spending a large amount of time in an ecosystem, only to leave it for another where far less time passed in comparison) counts towards age or not. It's all a bit confusing, I admit, and I subscribe to compressed time counting towards your age because, at least by my assumption, if you were to live out your age as an old man in the First, you would probably stay an old man coming to the Source.
The First time skip applied only to the Scions being sent there, as soon as you get sent there the time lines are perfectly in sync.
So Alphanaurd should be like 19/20 after shadowbringers while the WoL hasn't aged anything crazy.
