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.

Terms

The stories contain various terms and concepts that are characteristic of Çakari culture. An overview of those terms:

• Agha, that is a palace servant. There are different kinds of aghas, such as the palace guard and the door guard. Door guards stand at every door in the palace and open and close the doors upon permission.
• Khatun, that is a court lady. The title 'Khatun' is added to the name of the person, which immediately indicates the position in the court.
