Soren's Age

Not going to backdate these unless people want me to, as I don't expect to be pouring out a lot of Soren meta all at once and some of this might be novel.

Warnings, of course, for extensive PoR and RD spoilers.

( Establishing Soren's age )

So, the conclusion is simple. Soren is roughly a year younger than Ike. Ike is 17 at the start of Path of Radiance (the year 645). Manipulate numbers as necessary to find his age at the relevant point.

You might think that Soren's age can be taken for granted as something similar to Ike's, but fics love making Soren in his twenties for Path of Radiance the moment they find out that Soren doesn't age like we might expect. I am leaving this public, in fact, because I am tired of constantly rehashing this argument.

RD 4-5-F Base, "Soren" - English, Japanese, Translation side-by-side

I decided to do this now, because I keep referring to the Japanese script while writing visitor and I figured I'd just get this out of the way.

This took forever.
