Okay, I think Avalikia tried to have me work this stuff out before, but I've utterly forgotten whatever it was I had worked out.
I think I'll use Gyarahabala as a "meter" to base the timeline on, given wolves are the shortest lived of my three "Sakht Nakh veteran" alts. I lack specific information on Indian wolves, but grey wolves rarely live past 10. I do figure on Gyarahabala as living beyond average.
Further, Gyarahabala should have been at least 3 when the war started. One of the events to mark its beginning, I think, would be Vijayi's slaughter of Kirana's siblings in the Saahasi wolf pack.
I do want the war enough years ago to allow for characters fully adult now born completely after the war.
The war having ended 5 years prior to the opening of HN, and having lasted 3 years I think can work. If Gyarahabala were 3 when the war started, he would have then been 6 when it ended and 11 now -- a year older than the normal lifespan of gray wolves, but that's okay as I do figure Gyarahabala being quite old and his beloved alphas (Kirana's parents) having already succumbed to old age.
Tigers live to about 15. I would put Badajiva's age at maybe 14 or so, then, senior and older than Gyarahabala, but not quite as elderly as he is.
Golden eagles live to be about 30, so Utkrosh' age is the least problematic of my veteran alts of the Sakht Nakh war. She would have been adolescent during the last year of the war, but unfortunately I lack solid info on how long adolesence lasts for Golden Eagles, but I think she could easily be 8 or 9 by now, not encumbered by age at all.
