I am trying to discover how old Gentius is. He must be quite old for people to have talked differently in his day. Also, we know Excidium was born "c. 1725." He says he had fought "something with the Prussians" (I am not sure if that is with or against the Prussians. Possibly the "Great Northern War"? But then I am just searching wikipedia randomly and not a historian.) Does anyone have any thoughts? Strangerface 08:29, 9 July 2008 (PDT)

It could have possibly been the Seven Years War (1756–1763). It was a pretty big conflict, almost a world war, since it took place in Europe, North America, India, the Phillipines, and other spots around the globe. Unless he's really old (which is possible...the dragons seem to be combat capable at about 1-2 years old), I would think it might be this.
