Mostly because the dialogue given by Gaius said Silvertear was 15 years ago and F'lhaminn remarks that Warburton died 20 years ago. So 32 minus 20 is 12

Build on the Stone, other quests (including Gaius's speech you mentioned), and the lore books correctly cite the date of Warburton's death as 15 years ago, so I think it might actually just be the case that the stand-out F'lhaminn line is a simple text bug.

"20 years ago" was 1557, the year Ala Mhigo fell to the Empire. Minfilia says Warburton was a spy for "half a decade" (1557 to 1562). I would posit that between that 5-year gap and the 5-year shift between 1.x / ARR, something got phrased poorly.

(This is why I never knock the time bubble. We have enough confusion without time moving, lol. I vote for the blank check approach.)
