[@Pirouette]'s Kate escaped Yegmor County with her remaining family just after the Apocalypse, so I would suggest that she was there just right after the Baron set foot and started his ascent to power. [b]So we will have to edit her history of growing up[/b] in Thrivenshell since only 2 years passed from that time. But her story remains the same, nothing changed about that, just edit out her growing up in the orphanage and all. I suggest she left Yegmor at age 22, and now she is 24.

Actually, let me try to paint this scenario.

Apocalypse happens and it takes the Marlo's a month to move to Thrivenshell. By then, children of all types would be wandering in without a parent. It would be a hastily put together orphanage but an orphanage nonetheless.
