The Thousand Mask Warrior
Pasteurized
Greetings to dear and astute readers.
In writing episodes of Jayaseta's travels to these Malay islands, the author gets a fairly abundant source, but not just from a book or research journal. The author utilizes blogs and websites: both personal writings such as tourism trips, place history and pencak silat, as well as official articles from local governments.
In order to get the atmosphere of the past, the name of the island of Sumatra was written from the beginning with 'Samudra' which is indeed according to some historians, the term Sumatra island comes from the name of a large kingdom in Aceh: Samudra Pasai. Sometimes people just call it the Malay island.
Although the author still refers as best as possible to historical sources, however, this novel is still a work of fiction that cannot be accounted for scientific value. Various conflicts that occur in the story between various Malay countries, Pranggi (Portuguese) and Walanda (Dutch) although it is recorded, there are still many details that are the imagination and creativity of the author alone.
The author hopes that every episode in this story is a kind of universe (jagad/world/universe) that goes hand in hand with the history that really exists, but it is not part of it so that it does not need to be confused with reality or historical facts.
Therefore, the author deliberately does not provide explanations or footnotes about place names or terms that in modern times have different and better known names. For example Ayutthaya which need not be described as Thailand in the present, Dai Viet and Champa which is now part of Vietnam, Bisaya (isaya island) which is part of the modern Philippines, and the, or Johor and Malacca which are currently the names of the states of Malaysia.
The sources I have written here are just small bits of reference that I use to help me reconstruct the universe I created by sharing a truly existing history or event.
Perhaps by providing some of these small notes, readers are also interested in reading directly from these sources.
*Not all of the sources I have written here, nor are they exhaustive sources (some have no information about which author, year or issue).
