Artak's 7th Dictate

Artak's 7th Dictate was a living dictate issued on 7-12 20 PC which banned the use of materials mined by Karinians and prohibited equipping the Andu with modern mining equipment.

Background

On 6-1 16 PC, the Deram purchased modern mining equipment from Niueyjar with the intent of phasing out slave labour and replacing it with paid labour using modern industrialised mining techniques, this went against the Karinian belief that only Andu slaves were permited to mine. Leader of the Arkara, Artak Arkara mobilised the Arkara Army on 13-1 16 PC and ordered them to move into the Deram Kadrike leading the Akarian Civil War. The war ended on 29-12 19 PC shortly after the Deram and their allies had crippled the forces of the Arkara and their allies.

Artak was elected Living King in 20 PC and issued his 7th Dictate on 7-12 20 PC to end the use of Karinian-mined metals and to curb the growing power of the Deram.
