You’ve been conscripted from your home allod at the appropriate recruitment age:

• Hadaganians are drafted between 18 and 24 years old.

• Orcs mature faster and are recruited as early as 16 years old.

• The Arisen Zem — technically thousands of years old — have their age counted from the moment of resurrection. Although formally conscripted 24 years after resurrection, many volunteer earlier and secure specialized positions in the army.
