I dont believe there is a website for EQ2 lore concerning that.. but I'd say you could apply generic lore to the game. such as elfs live 500 years or whatever. but also because of the depth of the game. you could make your own lore. make a background about your character saying  he/she drank from the fountain of youth or cursed to live in Norrath for eternity by a god.But im sure you could just type in Google "the life span of an elf" and you'll most likely find plently of fantasy sites giving info

<p>Even though none of the games themselves follow by the rules, the EQ and EQ2 Pen and Paper games go to state that High Elves live to be about 800 years at the extreme, Wood elves 700 years at the extreme, Half elves 400 years at the extreme, and dark elves 700 years at the extreme end.</p><p>EQ2 throws out that Pen and Paper following for other races though, as there are gnomes, halflings, and a few other non-elf races who have been around since 500 years ago. Halflings only have a max life span up to 200 years, yet we have Squire Fuzzmin still alive after 500 years, as well as Fiddy Bobbick, (though he's being posessed, so that's understandable.)</p>

<p>You can find one of several discussions on racial lifespans <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=187367" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>In this, ayr'dal could possibly be 190, or 230, depending on if you used the EQL PnP or the EQ2 PnP.  Those sort of descrepencies always bothered me, personally.</p>
