I bring this up because in Well of World Timlin Vartus the Factol of the Expantionists was Mazed a couple hundred years back, I think, yet his age is listed at 40 in his write-up! Surely if he hadn't DIED by then, he'd be a couple hundred years old? Or am I missing something? Since the Lady (or Her servants, the Dabus) provides food and drink, it seems like a body could live forever if they never found a way out! (perhaps this is part of the punishment?)
Do berks who get Mazed age while trapped?

There could be a fascinating implication concerning time, too, though; perhaps when you're mazed, you're literally taken out of any context of time whatsoever.
Someone who's mazed and escapes within only a few days might arrive to find centuries have passed; someone who's mazed and spends a century in there might step out to find only a second's passed.
Probably not much canon to support that conclusion, though.

What do you mean nothing to support it? Rowan Darkwood!

Umm... this is a bit of spoiler of Faction War Adventure but here goes:
I think it happened this way: Factol Rovan Darkwood was mazed by Lady, but he was prepared (as blood of his status) should be, or he was sure that he is prepared.
See, he spend enormous sums of money for magic that would get him out maze if that happened.
He did get out, but 500 years earlier.
So I guess that the weird time effect is something that lady put on purpose: mazes are closed on to itself forever looping without end and exit (ok, they have exists but victim must find them by themselves, not cheating 
) , and time and death could also be considered as ways out so it is logical that Lady removed that exists too...
I believe that's what's implied yes - mazing is pretty permanent. I don't think Timmy had any other ways to avoid aging.
