Additional Avad lines from the prologue!

Transcript of lines:

Carja Citizen: Shipments continue to arrive weekly from Cut-Cliffs. And another band of Oseram laborers have been hired to speed up reconstruction. Avad: Very good.

Avad: The monument's really coming along. Carja Citizen: Indeed. The sculptor has once again requested a number of embellishments: a gold headdress to catch the light of the sun... Greenshine for the eyes, and a life-size deathbringer for the base. Avad: That won't be necessary. It should be modest but formidable, like the woman it honors. Carja Citizen: Yes, your Radiance.

Carja Citizen: The Shah Taveer and Kho Veriv families have made generous donations to the Alight's reconstruction. Avad: Ah, of course. Buying their way back into the light of the Sun after their support of the Shadow Carja. (He's so done lol) Please arrange for a luncheon at the palace, so that the Crown may show its gratitude. Carja Citizen: Consider it done, your Luminance.

Oh. My. Gods…

I was just thinking about the Red Raids and my mind went to the ages of Erend, Ersa, and Avad.

So, when we meet Erend in Mother’s Heart before the Proving, we are told abt the Raids. He also says that he can’t remember life before the Red Raids. Erend’s age is unspecified but we do know that he’s in his early to mid 20s. When we first meet him, he seems to be around 22-23ish. We learn that the Raids had ended 2 years prior and they lasted for about 12 years. So, by the end of the Raids, he’s about 20-21ish. Take 12 years away from that and that must put Erend at around 8-9 years old when the Red Raids first started, this explains his inability to remember his life, due to not remembering things as a child. And the wiki page tells us that Avad starts to rally the Oseram about a decade into the Raids which would make Erend about 18-19 when he became a Freebooter.

Fuck, he was really young when the Red Raids started.

Now, what about Ersa and Avad.

Well, the two are said to be around the same age from what I’ve read. Avad is said to be no older than his late 20s, I’d say that he’s around 28-29 when we meet him in Zero Dawn. I think Ersa is about a year-ish younger than him so I’d say about 27-28 give or take. That would make Avad around 26-27 when he took up the crown and Ersa would be 25-26 at the end of the Raids. Going by the same theory of the 12 year Red Raids, Avad would be about 14-15 when the Raids started, with Ersa being 13-14. And again, a decade into the Raids, Avad rallied the Freebooters when he was around 24-25. This would make Ersa about 23-24 when she took up arms alongside Avad and her brother.

Good Gods… They were so young when Jiran started his horrible plans.

They deserve so much better man.

Anyways, this makes me want to cry, this wasn’t even that much of a lore deep dive. What the fuck man.

Thinking abt Avad and how he has to put on this stupid kingly persona at all times when really he's probably just a regular silly guy who wants to hang out w his friends and be himself and now he has to do all this shitty royal paperwork and be seen as some untouchable saint all the time ooohh mygod im getting you out of there babygirl just you wait !!!!

[aloy-the-desert-flame]
