So everyone's in one of the long-lived races?

Haven't done that analysis yet, but those races seem to be at an even 
greater advantage. The Jobs rules are pretty clear on gaining points 
for success rolls. And because the powerful races age half as fast, 
they get twice as many chances to get good (and bad) rolls. But if they 
survive their 20 years or so, they have a lot longer where they get 
points and don't die. So really they'll live more than twice as long.

What do you think the rulers in my campaign have done?

I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out how they get 4 
dragon hearts a year (+ some for failure). Dragons are an intelligent 
race, you know.
