*tzzk* I am attempting to learn through observation because I do not wish to bother people with incessant questions. I hope that this is an acceptable method. *sskh*

Typically, yes! A fully mature troll is quite a marvel.
*tzzk* I see. Is this affected at all by their blood colour or is this true or all trolls? *sskh*

I suppose it is dependant on the troll 8ut *typically* higher spectrum trolls are significantly larger and live significantly longer than lower spectrum trolls.

Oh, it's hard to measure. For example, a fully mature violet8lood could live for a good few centuries if they took good enough care of themself. A fuchsia could certainly live even longer.

Ummmmmm. I don't think I've ever seen a rust8lood live past 400 human years at most? I'm unsure if that is the time measurement you'd prefer.
*tzzk* I have figured out how to calculate sweeps to a measurement I understand so do not worry. The site allows you to change between sweeps and solar earth years so I was able to plug in a calculation with ease. But that is interesting to know. It makes logical sense that the one that can live for the longest would naturally accrue the most wealth and have the best grasp of the political sphere. I can see why the empire took the shape that it did. Whether I think it is good or not, I see the logic. *sskh*

Yes, it is easy to take control when all of those that are aware of what you are capa8le of have already died. It is a very unfortun8te 8ut extremely clever circumstance.
*tzzk* I do not know if it is clever. If it is merely biology and luck. But perhaps it is surviving that long in the first place. That is clever... *sskh*
