The Affair at Arâk was an incident between the Imperial State of Constancia and the Gozar Dynasty of Razjania which saw the city state of Arâk pass from being a tributary of Razjania to become a subject of the crown.
Preliminary
During the 1660s, Arak, following the lead of the Gozar Dynasty, had fostered cordial albeit informal relations with Constancia, having remained neutral during the Iteran crisis and refraining from joining Azad Eura. Relations began to deteriorate after 1669 as concerns grew in Astérapolis that the ruling council of Arak – the Durbar – was silently permitting representatives of the Greater Eurani Trade Association to access the Gulf of Aqaba via its port.
These doubts served to form in the minds of the esteemed delegates to the Permanent Standing Committee, by this stage the de facto Constancian Junta in light of the Autokrator's increasing fixation upon matters pertaining to the bridal chamber of his intended, the kernel of grit around which the new pearl of an idea was to form.
An assignation between Rostam Abadi, of the ESB Euran Directorate, and Humayra Hashemi, a courtesan with links to the factions controlling the Durbar, was arranged to take place in the port's caravanserai, situated upon a promontory overlooking Ajam Bay. The meeting, intended to gain the ESB representative admittance into the city was a fiasco.
