Maybe we need an extended FAQ for this list - iron souns like frequently asked question to me.

That includes me. Well almost. I didn't think they were lovers but that Kallyr had designs that way. Oh boy. How old is he? She's 37 at the time, and he was raised in Dara Happa (so no accelerated aging in the god world, but he could have matured rapidly in the mundane). I'm guessing he would have to be born betweem 1605 and 1613. I can't remember, when was her sky quest? Anyway, that sounds like one for errata.
