Treaty of Perpetual Friendship and Free Association between the Imperial State of Constancia and the Khanate of Raspur
The Treaty of Perpetual Friendship and Free Association between the Imperial State of Constancia and the Khanate of Raspur united both nations, immediately prior to the Second Euran War in 1665.
It was constitutionally ratified by Constancia after the conclusion of the Second Euran War and promulgation of the Magna Carta of 1667, which established the Imperial State of Constancia.
It is considered a constitutional document of the Imperial State, and has same legal authority as the Magna Carta of 1667.
Background
Noble lord Autokrator of the Constancians,
I speak for the Great Khan Tahmaseb, by the Khvarenah of Zurvan, Lord of the Four Quarters, Suzerain of the Blue Horizon, Restorer of the Ancienty Dignity, Graced by the Khvarenah Artaḥšásta, Unconquered in One Hundred-and-One Battles, Despoiler of the Khalypsine, Ever Victorious, Unblemished, Custodian of the Two Ziggurats, Keeper of the Throne.
The might of Raspur marches to destroy the wretched Kingdom of Iteru for the affront they have given by the murder of our envoys. We seek the blessings of our Constancian allies for this noble enterprise and ask that the Molivadisan and Nisian Themes be prepared to accept the passage of our forces westwards, that the resources of the Trans-Euran Command of our alliance be made available to support our divisions in the field as they cross the wastes of the continental interior, and we also hope that a force of Constancian volunteers will join us in scourging the nation of Iteru from the face of Eura.
The Khan presents, along with the bearer of this missive, her ladyship the Daryāsālār of Aqabah, whom he hopes will be an agreeable guest and companion for his noble lordship the Autokrator.
May your Lordship continue to be assured of our highest consideration.
Timūr al-Osman Taraghay Emissary of His Sublime Magnificence, the Lord of the Four Quarters and the Blue Horizon, Tahmaseb II Osman, Khan of Raspur Ambassador to the Bastions of Unbelief Loyal Servitor of the Raspur Khanate
