How does Avrusa Sarethi know Sinderion in Elder Scrolls: Skyrim?
You first encounter Sinderion in Oblivion, at the end of the third era (3E) and once the third era ends in the year 3E433, the fourth era (4E) begins. Sinderion takes on an assistant called Avrusi Sarethi which you meet in Skyrim.
Skyrim is set 200 years later, and so how would this possibly work in terms of age considering that Sinderion died about 50 years into 4E, and yet his assistant who knew him when he was alive, is still alive 150 years later. Considering that she is neither a vampire, and also that the Elder Scrolls tries to keep things reasonably realistic, then I am wondering whether anybody had any explanations for this? Any answers would be appreciated.
Please and Thank You

Sinderion and Avrusa are Mer or elves which include;
Aldmer, Altmer, Ayleid, Bosmer, Chimer, Dunmer, Dwemer, Falmer, Lefthanded Elf, Maormer and Orc races.
According to lore, elves are known to live very long lives, but no exact longevity has been established. It is found in lore that elves can live at least 300 years and may live as long as 600 years. If you recall Oblivion, there is a part about her relationship with Uriel Septim which suggests that Barenziah lived at least 400 years and that some elf wizards have been known to live as many as 1000 years.
As for keeping things "realistic", I suppose you find the ability to generate fire or frost or shock from nothing and throw it from bare hands is "realistic"? Did you ever notice that mountain streams flow out of the top of mountains and never reduce in volume or pressure? Have you looked at how water flows in Whiterun? Did you not see the dragons in Skyrim?
Skyrim is a fantasy game with RPG elements. It has nothing to do with reality so having elves live 600 years should not exactly be unbelievable as part of the game.
