[Dragaera] Jhegaala (movie reference)

[Steve Rapaport]

I guessed either "Count of Monte Cristo" (9 years) or Sweeney Todd (15 years
I think).

Inigo's wait was also about 15 years.

Wait much longer than that and your object of revenge is likely to be dead,
or so old it doesn't matter (as dealt with in "Wicked" with the revenge
killing of Madame Morrible)
