Jaaguzannama, Book of Jaaguzan, is the official chronicle of the government of Jaaguzan and a story series around the throne. It contains various stories surrounding the Shahanshah, the second ruler of Çakaristan.
First series: the rise of the Ducula Aenea
This first series follows Hakim bin Alsalam during his first five years as Shahanshah of Çakaristan. The first two stories cover the expansion of the empire: Tartaristan and the Kantisha and Northak Islands. After the fall of the Great Apollonian Empire, Jaaguzan fulfilled the destiny of the Çakar Empire to conquer The Green.
Although Jaaguzan was elected as ruler and thus ended the Çakari succession crisis of 1704, because the Shahanshah did not seem to be making any move to settle his succession. Various solutions were put in place, ultimately to the most desirable solution. But the other solution remained.
Second series: the ultimate chessboard
The second series begins shortly after Jaaguzan and Zahra's honeymoon. It is characterised by simultaneous plot lines.
