Story Hook: The Chronicler’s Quest

In the 16th century, a Javanese chronicler sat down to write the Pararaton. He gathered the stories of the kings of Java — the legends, the battles, the triumphs and defeats. He said: “I write this so that the memory of our kings will not be lost. I write this so that the future will know the story of Java.”

“I write this so that the memory of our kings will not be lost. I write this so that the future will know the story of Java.” — The author of the Pararaton
