## History

### Origins

In 1787 TT Kadar, leader and founder of Kadarism convinced a large number of Karinian tribal groups to unify into the Akarian Confederation. The Akarians led several successful incursions against the Andu, remaining independent Karinians and other groups. By 1200 TT, the only other remaining state on Akaria was the Andu Kur.

### Absolutist period

The Confederation was succeeded by the Kingdom of Akaria on 19-1 1196 TT following a period of reforms initialized Living King Matart Kakay. At the time the reforms were advertised as a way to counter the growing power of the Andu Kur. However, after the death of Matart's successor Aran Banokan on 11-7 1172 TT, the Brinor Perikat fell out of favour and was replaced by the Daykot Perikat as the leading political coalition. Modern interpreters now view the reformation to have been motivated by a desire to keep the Agrada Perikat in power.

After the death of Aran and the subsequent ascension of Amkar Bokok forty days later, a period of internal power-building began. During the period of internal building, the Living King did very little whilst the families that made up the Daykot Perikat began trying to expand their internal powers.

This period of building ended on 16-5 1120 TT when Living King Garikoph Perat ordered a massive increase in military spending in preperation for the war that come to be known as the Andu Subjugation. The war started in 1110 TT and, by it's end five years later, Akaria had successfully destroyed the Andu Kur state and subjugated the Andu people.

### Assembled period

On 21-8 594 TT Living King Arikarin Deram used the Living Army to remove the Ossbosche of East Able from his position. The deposed Ossbosche of East Able, Amarkil Arkara asked his second cousin, the Ossbosch of Saeskar to help him get beack into power. The Ossbosch of Saekraim, Makaro Arkara began contacting other members of the Arkara Family. On 29-10 594 TT Makaro had the sizable army he had assembled begin a march for East Able begining the Able War. During the war the Banokan, Perat and Kakay holy families directly supported the Arkara Family as a part of the Anti-Deram Coalition. The Arkara Family and their allies managed breach the Tumak Ordok on 26-2 591 TT. During the battle for the ordok Arikarin was killed with his remaining forces surrendering soon after. The Anti-Deram Coalition had won the war. The heads of the Arkara, Banokan, Kakay and Perat families met in the Tumak Ordok on 26-3 591 TT along with the heads of the more minor families who had joined the Anti-Deram Coalition. For the next four days they worked on changing certain aspects of the Akarian Government. The largest change made was the creation of the Ossbosche Assembly, a council composed of the country's Ossbosches. The Ossbosche Assembly was granted the power to veto any Living Dictate issued by the living king via a two-thirds vote (This was later changed to a three-fifths vote). The definition of a Living Dictate was also changed to "any action of the Living King outside of his prescribed powers." The Ossbosches themselves were also given greater protection from the Living King, with the king now no longer being able to remove them from their positions.

On 9-12 10 TT the leader of the Perat Family, Arkerus Perat announced that his family had uncovered a plot by the Arkara Family to try and seize more power within the Ossbosche Assembly. The documents presented linked the Arkara Family to the deaths of multiple Ossbosches and prominent Udenbosches. These revelations began the False War, which saw the assassinations of many Ossbosches, Udenbosches and holy family members. On 13-7 4 TT Living King Bantar Arkara was assassinated beginning the godless year. During said period the Ossbosche Assembly was split on who to replace him with one group still being loyal to the Arkara Family, one group fully supporting the Perat Family and another group who simply didn't want a potential kingslayer on the throne. On 30-10 2 TT the Assembly named Harakar Oken Living King. The Oken Family had never been a prominent holy family and was chosen due to their lack of involvement in the False War.

### Calm period

On 18-1 1 PC the seas calmed in the event called the Grand Calming. The calming opened up Akaria to the other nations of the Attu Archipelago. During the Assembled Period, the Living King was a primarily religious and ceremonial role in Akarian society with most of the power in the country being held by the ossbosches. Through a series of dictates backed by the fear of the unknown Harakar Oken managed restructure the Living King into a position of power, putting himself almost completely in charge of foreign affairs.

On 4-2 3 PC Harakar Oken, with the support of the majority of the Council of Akaria issued Harakar's 10th Dictate barring members of the Arkara Family from being ossbosches. Four days later Kamakta Arkara, Head of the Arkara Family declared his defiance of the dictate beginning the Arkara Uprising of 3 PC. The assembly raised the Akarian Holy Army and fought back against the Arkara Family. Peace between the Kingdom and the Arkara Family was achieved on 24-3 3 PC.
