Age in Brevoy

By age 12, humans in Brevoy are ready for their apprenticeship (often within the family, learning the trade of their parents). By age 15, a human is considered an adult and can enlist in the guard, get married, and/or have children of their own. An apprenticeship is typically 7 years, so by age 19, most people in Brevoy can start their own business (though most stay at the family trade with the expectation to inherit it one day). By middle age (35 for humans), most people have already married, had children, and are fully "settled down". Elders are respected in the community for their wisdom, and younger generations are expected to provide care for their elderly parents. If an elder asks for your help, it is extremely offensive to refuse your aid, and will get you publicly berated by any bystanders.
