How long is a Valdemaran year? I'm a bit confused about it, if you'll look at the timeline . . . And if its, say, longer than one of our years, a sixteen-year-old there might really be in his thirties here.

If you look in the AoTQ series, it talks about how Talia went out on an internship, and it talks about the various seasons. There's another passage in the last book of the series about how they want to send Elspeth out for twice the normal time. On a different subject -- does anyone know why the priests are forbidden to pray for Valdemar's success in battle? That one always puzzled me.
