I dont recall who it was, but if my memory hasnt failed me, one of the NPC's you can speak to in the Dragonborn DLC says to you (if you are PLAYING as a Dunmer) that you were too young to remember the explosion of "Red Mountain". This of course means that when that volcano erupted your character (In this case a Dark Elf) was either a baby or a very small child when it happened.

This is said to happen in 4E5 The so called "Red Year" Dragonborn takes place in 4E201...meaning your character is at least in the 190's
