He is struck by her beauty and falls in love with her. He proposes marriage but she refuses.

Zulran was a linen merchant in the city of Ahgram. His business began to fail when he decided he wanted more. He began to have spices smuggled into the city to undercut the prices of the Zephyr Trading Company, who currently cornered the market for spices. Zulran was discovered and his store was raided. His spices were confiscated and he was taxed heavily by the Ahgram government. He was unable to pay the high taxes and his linen business failed. In the story of Idara he dies and leaves his daughter, Idara, to sort out his financial debt from his failed business.

Idara is the daughter of a linen merchant, Zulran, and resides in Ahgram. When her father dies she is left to settle his financial debt.
