* ''[[Elder Scrolls|Morrowind]]'' left inconclusive the effect of losing the immortality of Lorkhan's Heart. Dagoth [[Never Found the Body|disappeared in a pool of lava beneath a collapsed cavern,]] Sotha Sil was murdered, some decay was suggested in Almalexia's case but she dies in battle, and while Vivec could be killed by the player, according to canon he mysteriously disappeared. |

* It's been suggested, but not confirmed, that a weird or mild form of this is happening to the night elves in [[World of Warcraft]]. According to the lore, they are naturally long-lived on the order of a lifespan of a few hundred years, they were magically granted immortality ten thousand years ago, and it was revoked less than a decade ago. After less than a decade, some are starting to show signs of age beyond where they left off; for example, Tyrande Whisperwind (leader of the night elves) was a young adult at the time of being granted immortality. In the game right now, she's developed fairly noticeable crow's feet, even though if she were to continue aging normally from where she left off, that shouldn't happen for centuries. It's left vague whether this is age catching up to the elves or simply the effects of stress(which they are under a lot of), however. |

** Aegwynn is in a similar boat, using her powers as Guardian to extend her life for more than 800 years. After expending most of her magic {{spoiler|(read: having it forcibly ripped from her body by her own son)}} some thirty-odd years prior to Vanilla [[WoW]], she no longer has the power to keep herself young, and has been steadily aging as a result. Though the comics would show otherwise... |

*** This is because, after her banishment, she comes back to use her remaining magic to resurrect her son (after he is decapitated by his own apprentice), who, in turn, used his powers to give his mother proper retirement. She is given a hidden house in a valley in Kalimdor, protected by multiple wards (one of which keeps her healthy) and thunder lizards. Then Jaina Proudmoore decides to settle the valley... |
