Spren of Kindness she/her Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 So, @Truthwatcher at the Rim and I were talking today about Rosharan ages, and how those translate to Earth ages, and we did the math. So we agreed that I would post the math in case any of y'all also want to figure out character ages. Using Kaladin in WOK (19) as an example: (10,000 times 19) divided by 8,760 = 190,000 190,000 divided by 8,760 = 21.689 Second Example: Jasnah in WOK (34) (10,000 times 34) divided by 8,760 = 340,000 340,000 divided by 8,760 = 38.812 Please, come add more characters to this if you want!
Truthwatcher at the Rim she/her Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 The formula: (10,000 x Rosharan age) / 8,760 = earth age You can also switch this around to figure out how old you would be if you were born on Roshar!
Bearer of all agonies he/him Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Hmmm. Could you do this for me? But the opposite? Like Truthwatcher at the rim said? I’m 13.

dannnex male Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 You could just multiply their age by 1.1 Quote Questioner Speaking of Rosharan calendar-- So seventeen year old Kaladin, is he the equivalent of a seventeen year old Earthling? Brandon Sanderson It's 1.1, I think is what is it. Right, they're 10% older than their accounting system. So no. Questioner So Adolin is 27, true? Brandon Sanderson Yeah. Questioner So then a year is obviously a lot more than 1.1 but-- Brandon Sanderson Well no. The years are 500 days, but they're 20 hour days. Keep that in mind. So when you run the calculations kinda together, you end up with around 1.1. Salt Lake City signing (Dec. 16, 2017)

Also I found that a more accurate but still simple number is 1.141. So just multiple or divide by 1.141 for rosharan-earth conversion. Edited November 30, 2020 by Ookla the Disproportionate
