The war started about a year before my first arrival in Luceti. When I first came here, it was before the war had ended, though we had managed to close in on the capital. Recently, though, I went home and things finally came to a close, though it had only been a short time before I was dragged back here.

So you could say it is both recent and... less so. [Time in Luceti what is it. And he is not going to go into how exactly involved he was, though from the way he talks it might seem like he's attempting to create a personal distance where there really is none.] It's somewhat confusing, with how this place works.
