Dear Mr. Stroud,

We know that Djinn aren't techinically born, but I would imagine that their first summoning would be their "birthday".

So I was wondering if you had a day in mind for Barti's "birthday", even if he himself probably didn't bother to keep track of such unimportant things as dates on a human calendar.

Although, they were probably using a whole different calendar back then...

Hi Artemis,

That's a great question and for the time being I haven't got an answer, partly due to the complexities of aligning the Sumerian calendar with our Gregorian one and partly because I haven't really thought about it. You're right that the circumstances of Bart's first summoning would be very interesting to discover. Perhaps some details will one day emerge.

All the best,

J
