Granted I suppose it doesn't prove that the charicters weren't born when the war happened... Blake actually says it was "in the ashes of war" so it was probably right after it happened. The war could have already started before they were born and concluded right around when they were born. Giving maybe fifteen or so years for the situation to calm is not unreasonable. For people who were not able to retain memories of the war, it would seem like ancient history.
