Age limits must exist to keep the game realistic, to prevent 10 year old children from being masters of their crafts.. so, below are a few information pointers that you may find useful when making up a character sheet.
***
Crafters
~Apprentices: Start at 11/12 turns of age, and will stay Apprentices until a Master deems them ready to walk the tables to become Journeymen, usually about 4-6 turns. (If not being trained at the Hall they are free to travel there and ask to walk the tables there if there is no Master where they are being trained or if they feel they are ready and the Master is not letting them Walk)
~Journeymen: Normally are 18 turns and above. Can be as young as 16 turns.
~Masters: Are generally older people, the age of 30 turns would be young for a Master! They are usually Journeymen for 15-20 turns before they can become Masters.
***
Candidates
Candidates fall under two different age categories, normal candidates and gold candidates.
~‘Normal’ Candidates: From 12 turns, although many tend to be older when searched, (although we will accept 12 turn old candidates, we won’t be outnumbered by them) to 21 turns. Weyrbred children (or children of riders that are affectionately known as Dragonseed) can attend Candidacy as early as 10 turns.
~Gold Candidates: When a Gold egg is on the Sands. Search dragons often find girls from the ages of 14 turns to 23 turns, as with the others, younger ones although accepted, we’d prefer older ones. Taenia was one of the few that will Impress a gold at only 13 turns of age.

More to come later...
