Warriors of Haunden

"Two generations Ago" to me means that the children of that time are now grandparents of children that age. So the event is in living memory, but just barely. At least, that's the intent. Which means that Shadowmask is NOT the scorceror who drove the tribe off the land. That's my bad. He IS the local scorceror and you (the entire tribe but especially someone with hiden lore (magic)) are acutely aware of who he is, and thus his capabilities. The name is new, admittedly, but I've had his capabilities in my notes from day one.

So Shadowmask is not the monster who drove you out, he's the monster who keeps you out. My Bad.

Does that make more sense? I made a timing error.

As a note on the average age of Low TL people, an average age of 30 for death doesn't mean that everyone over 30 starts dropping like flies, it indicates a fairly constant mortality through every state of a 70-year lifespan. If you look at family trees in history, you'll see both terrible mortality among the young and plenty of people who live to be old and grey.
