'''The Saro-Aurean Crown Dispute''' is a legal dispute between the[[Aurea | Aurean Empire]] and the [[Sarovia|New Sarovian Empire]] over Sarovia's sovereignty.
= History =
The dispute began in early September of [[Guilds and Leaders of 2020|2020]], when [[Constantine Vasa]] and Richard Vaughn were discussing a possible deal to hand over the titles and positions of the New Sarovian Empire to [[Kevlar Vaughn]]. The initial dealproposal wasfrom inConstantine exchangeVasa was to thesurrender numerous titles and, positions inand the New Sarovian Empire's overall sovereignty, in return for (1), Kevlar Vaughn's woulderasure eraseof Constantine and his achievements from numerous public records of the [[Graal Military Community]], namely the Wiki, in an attempt to force himself to stay away from the game and not be remembered and (2), continued resistance against a faction of Constantine's disgruntled heirs, now known as Jacobite Sarovia in the current Sarovian Civil War.
The deal was brokerednegotiated in Richard's guild house between Constantine's, on an alternate account, and Kevlar himself, where half of Constantine's proposal was agreed to, with Kevlar expressing both his inability and lack of desire to partake in the elementserasure of any historical records. Regardless of this, Constantine still upheld his offer, petitioning that Kevlar at least "do his best to try the first request" and deal werewas then agreed onupon, andalbeit handsKevlar maintaining his refusal of the werefirst shookrequest.
On the 20th of September, Kevlar gathered prominent members of Aurea and the GMC, and the transfer was completed in the presence of two Sarovian junior officers, who were created [https://sarovia.graalmilitary.com/wiki/Order_of_the_New_Sarovian_Empire Knights of the Order of the New Sarovian Empire], especially for the occasion.

Aside from the Act of Relinquishment, no other legally binding contract or deal was written and signed, and Constantine's reason for reneging on his declaration as well as what the terms of the backroom dealings that lead to this momentous event were, are now largely a matter of one's word against another's, unsupported by any surviving official evidence.
