Akkaran Kingdom

The standard of the Kingdom.

***Akkara*** (All-car-ra), or the ***Akkaran Kingdom***, is an absolute monarchy established on the 13th of Dynikure, 824 PR, in the aftermath of the *Eridian-Ocrtan War*.

## History:

### Assimilation of the Ocrtans:

In the aftermath of the *Ocrtan War*, the Ocrtan people were forced under the rulership of the Kingdom. While the Akkaran Kingdom claims that it was forged as the ultimate alliance between the Eridians and the Ocrtans, in truth it was simply a greater version of the *Kingdom of Eris*.

To this day, many Ocrtans are seen as second-class citizens. Racial profiling is common place, with any who aren't Elven or Dwarven being treated in conditions from being looked down upon to being killed in rare cases.

### Colonization of Zemnia:

Soon after the Kingdom was done assimilating the Ocrtans, they pushed their focus towards new territories. Imperialism became the new fashion, as the Akkaran Kingdom sent scouts and armies across Keporis in hopes of finding new lands.

This eventually led to the colonization of the Münsee Hills Territory, a territory filled with tribal governments. The tribal governments known as the Zemnians, demanded that their lands be returned to them. However, the Akkaran Kingdom ignored this, continuing further and colonizing Berksönee Woodland Territory and even colonizing parts of the Freldan Isles known as the New Akkaran Territory.

As more of their holy land fell to the Akkarans, the Zemnian tribes decided to united and form a government to stand against it. This led to the creation of the *Zemnian Empire*, and the start of the *First Akkaran-Zemnian War*, more commonly known as the First Crusade.

### Ruin from the Crusades:

The crusades saw the fall of the Akkaran Colonization Age, through the three wars were fought, the Zemnians continued to out pace them.

The *First Crusade* was won because of General Izlema Oathpris, a general that completely turned the tide of war against the Kingdom and captured the Akkaran Monarch at the *Battle of Cyira.* The *Second Crusade* was won because of the *Zemnian Empire's* greater amount of resources, and the *Third Crusade* was won because of the foolishness of the Akkaran Monarch, who believed that the Kingdom could stand against the Empire that had already militarized the border of the Yunic Pass.

After the Crusades ended, the Akkaran Kingdom began to slowly fall apart, leading to the start of the Akkaran Dark Age.

### Dark Age Collapse:

The Akkaran Dark Age saw the Akkaran Kingdom focus inward to rebuild their destroyed economy and nation. Unrest began to build quickly, soon even the *Akkaran Crown Colonies* became completely independent from the Kingdom. The unrest slowly began to exploded, leading to the *Fist of Ocrta's First Movement* in 1073. However, even with reforms within the government. It's clear to many that more work must be done.

### Second Movement of the Fist:

On the 13th of Dynikure, 1110 PR, the *Fist of Ocrta* caused a bombing durning the Moonstone Banquet, beginning the *Ocrtan Crisis.* The Kingdom focused on maintaining their public image, while they sent an adventuring group known as *Filii Impiorum* to locate the Fist and report back to the Kingdom.

On the 30th of Dynikure, the Fist of Ocrta would be defeated during the Final Convergence, ending the Ocrtan Crisis. However, while the Crisis was over, the problem surrounding it were not. It's clear that unless something is done, there will most likely be a third Movement.

## Government:

The government of the Akkaran Kingdom is an absolute monarchy held by the Delsarte Dynasty, however, while the Kingdom has claimed all of Ocrta it is mainly seen as a continuation of the once Kingdom of Eris instead of a union between two peoples.

### Executive Branch:

The executive branch of the Akkaran Kingdom is the Queen's Council or King's Council, While the Queen's Council holds the title of the executive, it is merely an advisory body for the Queen of the Akkaran Kingdom. It is made up of those the Queen finds necessary for advising them and their actions.

### Legislative Branch:

The legislative branch of the Akkaran Kingdom is the Crown Assembly, similar to the Queen's Council the Crown Assembly merely is an advisory body, with no true power to create laws or affect the Queen's decisions.

### Judicial Branch:

The judicial branch of the Akkaran Kingdom is the High Court of Akkara. The High Court deals with matters of the Duchies, with very few affairs on the national level.
