When does "Nature of the Beast" take place?

When does "Nature of the Beast" take place in mage wars history relative to the organized play material and "Arraxia Rising"?

I really would like to know this, since it wasn't at all clear in the book when the story was taking place.

Although there is nothing in the book that definitively places it anywhere along the OP timeline, I think you can probably peg it to sometime in the OP IV/V range. Arraxia Rising begins around the start of OP V and runs concurrently, FYI.
