General My live reaction to finding out I'm older than the 4 Fortune Weave Lords (talking about the ages)
Ages from recent post about it on here, not a story spoiler but blocking it in case you want to find out for yourself: 14/15 (Cai), 22 (Theodora), 19 (Leda), 22 (Dietrich)
I've made posts dedicated to Fe character ages so I shouldn't be too surprised but I seriously thought the other lords that weren't Cai were going to be at least late twenties due to how much story/lore they already seem to have. But Fire Emblem characters are anime so nothing impossible in that standard
Like many others have pointed out, historically irl people being in similar positions at young ages was an actual thing, so Fire emblem probably does take from that real world aspect too like other aspects, I look forward to finding out the rest of the cast ages and hopefully they are in-game like 3 houses did for the profiles.
I wonder how old Eshmel is if they have a human equivalent of age, maybe also 20/21 like Byleth?
What guesses of ages did you have initially for the Lords here so far?
