Immortal Gnomes

A gnome can theoretically live to any age if she can stave off the Bleaching indefinitely,
but in practice gnomes rarely live longer than around 400 years.

Gnomes normally live forever but the Material Plane eventually bores them to death via the bleaching.

Would Bleachlings be effectively immortal but have to live a sad life devoid of any actual happiness?

Yes.

Also, curiously enough, I read an article written by someone who works in life insurance about a human average lifespan, if we didn't die of old age and related illnesses.

In other words, accidental deaths only.

An average (median?) human would live about 9000 years.

I imagine this number would be significantly lower on Golarion because of all the crazy magical monsters and cults and worldwounds spontaneously opening up. :)

So, you can make your own conclusions how long a gnome on Golarion can survive, particularly if they are an adrenaline junkie.

Bleachlings are so sad. I want to give them hugs ;_;
