Of course, with his tough life, injuries, torture, and generally living on
the run, he may well resemble a 40-year-old.

He meets the bulk of them in _Taltos_, in late 240 PI.  He goes on the
road at the end of _Phoenix_, in early 244.  So about 3 1/2 years.  Mind
you, that span includes the events of five books worth of significant
events, plus a number of not-fully-told-yet stories.

Please, argue away!  Just be sure to back up arguments with textev.  I
certainly have made miscalculations in the past, and have no reason to
believe the current version is entirely free of them.  Corrections are
quite welcome, as are informed disputations :-)
