Talk:Wendis/@comment-31763506-20170717103957

I think we can narrow down the year of her death to a certain extent. Hilstara mentioned that she was intimidated by Simon's wife when they were both in the Ardoheim Army. We also know that Robin never met Wendis, although it isn't clear her birth came after Wendis' death or not.

Hilstara was 41 at the time she joined the harem, and Robin was 19 while Simon was 55 at this same time, roughly a year before the Battle of Yhilin. Hilstara would presumably have to have been at least 18 at the time she encountered the married couple of Simon and Wendis, so Wendis' earliest date of death would have to have been 33 years before Chapter 1. But this would be prior to the official end of the main war with the Arsehole of Arclent. Simon also stated the number of years he was married to Wendis in a conversation with Esthera, something like 11-13. Some dialogue with Hilstara later indicates that they were not married when Hilstara first met them (drinking trip   in Yhilin, IIRC.)  I'll go and check this info as I complete my current playthrough.

So if Hilstara met Simon and Wendis at the earliest circa 34 BBY (Yeah, I'm hijacking the old Star Wars Expanded Universe chronology date notation, filing off the "Yavin" and substituting "Yhilin"..,), then the earliest date for their marriage would be sometime around 33 BBY, putting her death at circa 22-20 BBY. Robin would then have been born circa 20 BBY. If Wendis' death predated Robin's birth, that puts a very narrow window of possibilities for her date of death under consideration. Basically 22-20 BBY. The LATEST possible date for Simon's adoption of Robin is ~10 BBY, when Robin would have been 10. The earliest possible date would have been ~14 BBY, when Robin would have been 6. (If SL's "Elementary School Age" means what it would in the US.)

Discuss.
