I just started my re-read of Deadhouse Gates, and when I came to when Kalam enters Raraku, and he's talking to Leoman and Karsa.
Leoman says:
Quote
The man who now held the Book of the Apocalypse heard the gruff whisper and snorted. 'You fancy no mortal could get that close to you without your hearing him. You tell yourself it must have involved magic. You are wrong. My companion is Toblakai, an escaped slave from the Laederon Plateau of Genabakis. He's seen seventeen summers and personally killed forty-one enemies...'
UK paperbak edition DG p. 200.
Does this mean he is seventeen years old when DG is set?
From what I could understand from my first read of HoC, I thought that Karsa and Company were older when they set out... Also, I thought that ten, twenty years passed between the beggining and the fall of the Whirlwind.
So, I'm also wondering how old Karsa was when he set out?

"I'm having one of those things... A headache with pictures." An Idea? "Yeah, that's it!"
