1. First let's compare Alys and Rune with other characters:
a) Kyra seems younger than both Rune and Alys, so they have more than 18yrs.
b) Raja seems to be the oldest of the group so they have less than 65 yrs.
e) Alys could have Hahn's age (24yrs)... or older - never less age than Hahn and, in my opinion, never above 28yrs.
f) In any of the cases Rune will have +1yr than Alys.
Here's what we know:
1. Rune became Lutz at the age of 15 (so Alys was 14 at that time).
2. Alys became orphan at the age of 14 and a guy name Galf took care of her (like she did with Chaz x years latter).
3. Rune (now lutz) went to Motabia to train and gain experience
4. The man at the weapon shop of Termi said that in the past (x years ago) the spell binder (Rune) tought him how to put his feelings in the metal (creating the psycho-items).
5. Rune builts the "Ladea Tower"* near Termi (the heroine's town) -probably the first and the only city he passed by- to train and gain experience, much like Lutz from PS1 was doing in his cave before Alisa, Myau and Odin arrived with the governor's letter.
6. Alys and Galf met Rune (still when he was 15 yrs) [note: perhaps they needed that "spell binder" for something].
7. Alys, Galf and Rune lived together for 4 years.
In point 5 and when we meet Rune at Molcum it is said that Rune was meet a «long time ago». The question is 'how many years are "a long time ago"'?
a) If Alys is 28:
AW1270 - 14yrs (Meet Rune)
AW1274 - 18yrs (Galf's death and departure of Rune)
----------6 years gap-----------
AW1281- 22yrs (DramaCD - Alys was already a famous hunter at this time)
AW1284 - 28yrs (PSIV)
b) If Alys is 24:
AW1274 - 14yrs (Meet Rune)
AW1278 - 18yrs (Galf's death and departure of Rune)
----------2 years gap-----------
AW1281 - 22yrs (DramaCD - Alys was already a famous hunter at this time)
AW1284 - 24yrs (PSIV)
-> Which one is reasonable? The 2 or 6 years gap in Alys history? [I personally prefer only 2].
-> If the age 24 is the correct age, the long time ago will be "10 years", if not "14 years". [are '10 yrs' enough time to be "a long"? I think yes...]
-> 10 years to prepare against DF seems reasonable to PS chronology since the past is always represented with exact time like "1000 years df returns", "100 years there's an eclipse at dezolis", "10 years I saved you Rolf", etc.
