The Unchanging Land

Jakarta Adventurer's Guild
The plans for a sea route to reach the New World seems to have reached a dead end. From now, we cannot overlook any piece of information, no matter how small. By the way, you explored Aotearoa before, didn't you... Regarding this, the town official of Amboina would apparently like to offer you another job. Go to see the client.

Recognition 1. Tradition that remains in Aotearoa
Your report was very interesting. Especially the part about the folklore passed down in Aotearoa! That's why I want you to go research this folklore again. I especially want you to do whatever you can to find this place called "Hawaiki".
They even go so far as to call this place the eternal land, so it must be pretty amazing!
2. "The great migration" Heke"
Oh, it's you. What do you need this time? Hmm, I see... Still thinking about Hawaiki, eh? Well, the migration from Hawaiki to here didn't happen all at once, it happened over several times. One of these migration, referred to as "Heke", was the largest. If many people migrated like this then their folklore and traditions should still be alive and well. That's the key...
3. Seven names
The names of the canoes used by Heke were these seven: Tainui, Te Arawa, Aotea, Tokomaru, Takitimu, Mataatua, and Kurahaupo. I told you that the people of this island can tell you the name of the canoe their ancestors rode on, right? Well, just find the families that say one of these names and find out more information from them!
4. How to know the location of Hawaiki
Takitimu? I can't believe you know the name of my ancestors' canoe!
Eh, the location of Hawaiki? Sorry, I can't remember that being told in any of the old stories. But if you really want to know where it is, there is one way to find out... I can't say that I recommend it, though. Do you still want to hear it?
5. Where souls go
Okay, but don't be disappointed... When we die our spirit travels to the northern tip of the island. Then we follow the roots of the pohutukawa tree into the ocean. Then, according to legend, we return home to Hawaiki. Although, you don't look like you're from around here so... even if you try finding it this way it might not work...
6. That which tradition cannot impart
Hahaha, that's hilarious! But you know, I've always thought it was pretty strange too. If our ancestors came here from Hawaiki in canoes, Why is it that the only way we can get there is by dying? There's even a legend that tells of a man named Kupe who takes some birds from this island back to Hawaiki back with him...
7. A place that cannot be returned to
So that's when I thought, it must be easy to come from Hawaiki but hard to get back there. So I suppose that even if we want to go back we can't but our spirit can once we die...
This is just a guess, but what I'm about to say is even more of a guess. Still wanna hear it?
8. An inconvenient direction
So, to get back to Hawaiki I figure you have to think about the most difficult conditions for both the ocean currents and the wind direction. The currents run to the south-east off the eastern coast of the island, so that eliminates the south-east. So then, the wind usually blows to the north or to the west. So that means the most difficult conditions possible would be to the north-east of here. Of course, I wouldn't count on anything I just said. It's all just a guess.
9. Unchanging land
I gathered all the information I could about Hawaiki in Wanganui but I wasn't able to find out its exact location. However, the story of how people migrated in from Hawaiki has been faithfully passed down throughout the generations. I think there must be a high probability of a place that corresponds to Hawaiki existing. A sailor I spoke to thought it might be to the north-east of Aotearoa... I wonder if there's any truth to that?

An island northeast of Aotearoa. You can find black sandy beaches on the coast there. The people that live on this island have elaborately designed tattoos, like the people on Aotearoa. Their languages are also very similar. I wonder if this is Hawaiki?
