	Dr. van Richten failed to realize the effects of Madame Randanavich's curse upon his companions until many years later, whereupon he discovered its effects thanks to a [[diviner]]. Van Richten fell into a deep depression, one from which he would not recover until he was approached by a now grown Arturi Radanavich to reconcile van Richten with the Vistani and remove both their curses.
