The assassination attempt of Amara Sigatar Khura'in was a pivotal case in Khura'inese history.
The fire
During a performance by musician Jove Justice, the fire was started by then-Minister of Justice Ga'ran Sigatar Khura'in, in an attempt to kill her older sister and take her place as queen. However, Amara survived and escaped from the fire, although many others perished, including Justice. Amara's husband, defense attorney Dhurke Sahdmadhi, was accused of starting the fire.
The trial and aftermath
Sahdmadhi went on to defend himself during the trial, and was close to proving himself innocent of the crime. However, Garan ended up proving Sahdmadhi guilty, and he went into hiding with his son, Nahyuta and Apollo Justice, Odoroki's orphaned son.
Following the trial, public view of defense attorneys shifted into a more negative light, eventually culminating to the passing of the Defense Culpability Act, a law that states that attorneys whose clients receive guilty verdicts will be given the same punishment as the defendant, including death. With the addition of the new Divination Séance system that proved all defendants guilty, these conditions basically outlawed the profession and led to a country-wide execution of defense attorneys.
Although Amara survived, she was eventually caught by Ga'ran and forced to stay in hiding and help her, mostly when she needed to perform spirit channeling, as Ga'ran had no spiritual power. Amara then posed as Nayna, an elderly caretaker and personal assistant of Amara's daughter Rayfa Padma Khura'in while Ga'ran ruled the country for the next twenty-three years.
Meanwhile, Thalassa Gramarye, having caught wind of the fire in Khura'in desperately tried to get any information about the whereabouts of her son and husband. However, with the condition of the country, the police were unable to help her, and she eventually gave up, returning to the United States.
