That would make her in her late-20's/early 30's when she converted. Assuming Vhala said she was 71 2 years into Simon being implanted with the shard, she would be 73 now. 73-29 = 44. Take away another 11-13 years and that makes her 31-32 when she became an Unwoman.

Yeah... No.

SierraLee has explicitly specified the date of Wendis' death as six years after the end of the 2nd Arclent war in Patreon comments.

I have no idea whatsoever why you think the date of Wendis' death is germane to the question of when Vhala was converted.

I place the creation of the Unpeople where I do on the grounds that the Incubus King's invasion steamrolled everything in its path up until Givini's Last Stand because there were no effective defenses, ie. no Unpeople. SierraLee's standalone story "War of Lust" takes place during fighting in Ardoheim after both Givini's Last Stand and Simon and Wendis' marriage, and SierraLee also implicitly confirmed that the Unpeople were created after that story was set. (They are nowhere mentioned in the story.) The ridiculously obsessive history of the game world is worked out (with annotations on sources) in the Wiki Timeline page.

I really do need to update it.

@Fulminato

An interesting corollary to your notion on Unpeople immortality through purity occurred to me in line at the grocery store the other day.

Incubus Kings are immortal. Ergo Incubus Kings must be 100% Purity. Which means they don't have Sex. Which means they die.

Not really sure if that's valid Quantum Magic or not, but clearly the equation of purity to lifespan isn't perfect.
