- ↑ Speculation from JWM Timeline p.28: "Since Arametrius is probably Athasian, Van Richten may have recently visited Kalidnay and encountered Ahmose Tanit. VRGtG pg. 73. This is the earliest possible date for this event (due to George’s inclusion, and we know from this source and BH that VR starts hunting ghosts one year after this event. That leaves only 9 years between VR starting to hunt and writing his Guide on the subject. I chose to go with this date to keep as wide a margin of opportunity as possible."
