Can't seem to find the remark from Dragonia, so it may have been hearsey and can be disregarded. So I just wanted to add that while KC has cautioned that info given in Q and A sessions and such are not fully canon until the info is in a book, to call what he says in such sessions "conjecture" is misleading. Yes, the info is potentially subject to change, but as far as I've seen it is very rare for KC to make substantial changes to any of the lore between talking about it online and publishing it (many parts of the lore started as online statements and didn't get published until years later).

Claims that KC changes things a lot before putting them in the books seem to usually be based on incorrect translations rather than actual changes. And regardless, direct word from the author of the setting should be worth more in discussions than simple "conjecture". We don't need to call it canon, but in the absence of conflicting information its still trustworthy info. Heck, for many questions about many settings in both books, movies and other media, it is only via words from the creator of said setting that answers are ever given, simply due to them not having opportunity to answer them in the material itself (the video game Fire Emblem Three Houses is a big example of this).

One bit of official published info we have is World Guide 2, wherein it lists Saphirette's birth year as a three digit number. KC does indeed want to keep some ambiguity, hence the first of the three digits is illegible (90 are the last two digits), but the fact that there are only three digits means that the current calender system had less than a thousand years on it when Saphirette was born. The abbreviation for the year (like our AD for instance) is "ME," likely standing for "mamono era" or something similar. That she states she only started advertising herself to men in World Guide 2 also suggests she has not been suffering and single with her elementals for centuries. Course there is some conjecture here, but the info given does align with KC's statement that around a millennium has passed since Lilith started her new era.

Said statement by the way was given by KC to explain why Lilith has so many daughters despite monsters having low fertility. Namely that she has had at least 1,000 years to try her luck. To quote:

>I heard that it's difficult for monstergirls to get pregnant, but since Deruela is the 4th princess, does that mean it's easier for the demon lord to get pregnant?

'''KC: It's not easy for her in particular. It's just that she already had at least 1000 years time to make out and have sex'''
