"And to my obviously evil son who will do everything in his power to destroy the realm I leave you this entire continent. Boy I sure hope you don't manage to successfully cultivate it, that sure would suck. Ohhh I am making you immortal so ensure you will succeed."

yeah...calling your son evil born seems kind of...mean...and make everone question why you are giving him an entire country. There are less ham handed ways of phrasing this. "Iron fisted" might have been better- imply that his strong, dominating will would be necessary to tame the land of iron thorns...or the land would tame him instead. That implies he was given a difficult task and a lot of responsibility because he knew the kid could handle it. The fact that the attitudes commonly attatched to these traits, cruelty, ambition...evil born-ness... are just a seperate thing that comes out later as a 'total suprise'. Also, if he is the third born, why does he look ancient?

I know this is a year old, but still. It's not really explained anywhere, but my interpretation is that Lokken looks old because of his heavy use of mana. It's like magical meth to them. Even if you're immortal, if you don't take care of yourself by being moderate like the other siblings, you end up like him in this universe. By extension, I'd guess normal people get old faster when they're mages. Later on, Creon people show up to reveal that the safe use of mana is through machine conduits instead of using yourself like a savage, but I'm pretty sure it's a tad too late for Lokken.
