I would guess that adventurers are immune to the ravages of time. When you look at your description, it never mentions how old you are. This suggests that the game just doesn't care how old you get because it's likely that you will die of other things gunning for your life instead.

That's not true. In my adventurer sucession game, I looked at the stats of the second adventurer in legends, and it said that she was twenty one years old.
EDIT:
Wait, that was in 31.08 or .10. It may not be the same in .18.

It never gives exact age for anything while actually playing. You can see in legends that you adventure does have an age, which seems to consistently be in the 20s or 30s for humans and something else for dwarves. Let me check:

Human adventure ages (when started) in the two worlds I have:
  • 34
  • 34
  • 24
  • 22
  • 26
  • 22
  • 30
  • 29
  • 31
  • 28
  • 27
  • 30
  • 23
  • 35
  • 23
  • 21
  • 23
  • 21
  • 21

The only two elves I played as were "one of the first of his kind" (in a world 251 years old) and 268 while the only dwarf I've played as was 69.

I think it's because most adventurers (and embark dwarves) have an age set to be near the median of the first number of the creature's (or caste's) [MAXAGE] tag when they are created. That's why human adventurers are often around 20-30 years old and dwarven adventurers/embark dwarves 60-80 years old.

ARMOK has no need for this "old age" ideal. The only death worthy of ARMOK is being impaled by an elephant... on top of a mountain.... with only an elf corpse as a weapon!!!!
