			Note: The ages and lifespans listed along with the groups of races are general overviews, they are not entirely set in stone as they are average and maximum ranges. For example, while humans may be able to naturally live to 80 years old or more, nature is rarely kind enough to offer the opportunity to most. High Elves may be able to live to be 2000 years old, but the chance that one is likely to make it that high are rather stark.

	==Dwarves==		==Dwarves==


			* Dwarves tend to be more robust and sturdier than larger folk, who share similar lifespans from between 250-300 years of age.

			* While not as sturdy as their distant dwarven cousins, halflings and gnomes can live upwards of 100 years, though it's uncommon to find many that live until 200.

	==Orcs==		==Orcs==


			* While plenty sturdy, orcs often live very culturally violent lives compared to other mortals, so while they have somewhat shorter lifespans similar to that of humans, an orc that has lived to see his 50th birthday is a rarity.

	==Goblinoids, Kobolds==		==Goblinoids, Kobolds==


			* Goblinoids and other related races tend to have shorter lifespans than humans, roughly estimated around 30-50 years old at most, while some of the larger species such as hobgoblins and bugbears have slightly longer natural lifespans that match closer to orcish lifespans.

	==Giants, Ogres, Trolls==		==Giants, Ogres, Trolls==


			* The giants, half-giants and their other big-boned cousins tend to have lifespans that average out at around 100 years old, with the occasional rarity of a longer lived individual that might show up amongst their numbers.

			* The anthropomorphic races tend to have similar lifespans in comparison to humankind, though the occasional deviance may appear in specific races or subraces amongst their number.

	==Faeries==		==Faeries==


			* The Fae come in all shapes, sizes, colours and forms, but tend to live outside of the conventional concepts of lifespans due to the cyclic nature of their existence. Individuals that can keep track of their age in the mortal world are rare, and those that actually bother are even rarer. While it's rare for death from old age to come to the fae, those that involve themselves in the mortal realm for long enough oft find themselves becoming part of its workings, which includes age and death, ranging between that of humans or high elves depending on their luck.

	==Undead==		==Undead==


			* While technically immortal, undead creatures rarely have the luxury of long lifespans due to being perceived as anathema to civilized life pretty much everywhere else in the world. Only the extremely savvy and cunning might count themselves amongst the lifespans of elves or high elves, while the vast majority barely make it beyond their otherwise natural human lifespans before finding themselves returned to the dirt.

			* Similar to the fae, most demons, celestials and elementals don't exist within the mortal realm in the same manner as its other mortal inhabitants. Those who share ancestry with humans or other species due to interbreeding, such in the case of tieflings or part-elementals, often have lifespans more akin to their mortal lineage than their supernatural counterparts.

			* While wide ranging in culture and ethnicities, humans are generally considered old at the age of 50, where as an 80 year old human is uncommon and near the end of its natural lifespan.

	==Elves==		==Elves==


			* Elves are generally known for their lengthy lifespans, which for Common elves like those of Mazewood and the Common elves of Elvendeep, along with their subterranean relatives like the Gulanadurians, generally live to around 1000 years of age. Wild Elves of the Sorani and the Shushan are often shorter lives, with lifespans roughly calculated to around 500 years, whereas the High Elves of Elvendeep and noble elves of Panguro can live for up to nearly 2000 years old.
