Imagine being adopted into the family of the only person to ever see worth in you in your 20 years of life, only to outlive him and his family and descendants several times over. Like... the Noor family is still alive and going, but it’s been some roughly twenty or so generations since Veric’s adoptive parents died. And while such long lives are commonplace for mages and scientists, the Noors were not scientists despite dabbling in arcane science. They lived normal lifespans. They died when they died and that was that.
