Writing down his premonitions....
In the depths of Chimpchester Monastery, many hundreds of years ago, the mysterious monk Nostrachimpus found himself having strange dreams that told him of future events. In the middle of the night he would wake up suddenly and write down the dreams in the form of riddles before he forgot them.
His fellow monks thought he was mad, and laughed at his wild warnings, but he continued with his work and hid his manuscripts inside the monastery so that it could be discovered hundreds of years after he had died.
Many scholars have studied his work, and to their shock and fascination have found that Nosrachimpus predicted many major world events years, or even centuries before they happened. He predicted the destruction of the monastery by King Chimpry VIII, he predicted the Great Fire of Chimpchester, the Civil War, the Plague, the Chimp the Ripper murders and even predicted the First and Second World Wars.
Strangely, Nostrachimpus didn’t appear to predict his own death, where he was chased by a swarm of bees across several fields but fell over an upturned bucket and banged his head on a rock, causing him to die a few days later.
