Biography
Early life
Sarkay Obat was born and raised in the city of Orstai. The Obat were a decently influential drike in the Dakon Kadrike.
Akarian Trade Fleet
On 28-7 9 PC Sarkay Obat was hired by the Akarian Trade Fleet (ATF) to work as a general labourer aboard the ATFS Arakar which had been assigned to the newly established 1st Drug Division, shipping zaahr from Kelelemi to Tietero.
While working for the ATF, Sarkay Obat spent a great deal of time on shore in Tietero and Kelelemi, where he learnt to appreciate the Tieteran and Kawakian ways of life, respectively.
On 28-3 10 PC The Sorewa Liberation Uprising bombed the ATFS Arakar whilst off the coast of Kelelemi, leading to the ship sinking and killing 26 of its 30. Sarkay Obat was one of the survivors.
First book
Sarkay had been traumatised by the bombing of the ATFS Arakar and wanted time to rest. His family in Orstai, however, wanted him to get back to work, not wanting to do this Sarkay moved to the slums of Oksken. Whilst there Sarkay survived off of a diet of nothing but Okolor provided by the Osslette of Okenate and lived in housing also provided by the Osslette. By law, the Osslettes of Akaria had to provide food and shelter to all those who needed it and the Osslette of Okenate was considered to be the worst provider of both. Despite his poor living conditions, Sarkay Obat learned much about foreign nations whilst in Oksken, mostly due to it being one of only two cities in Akaria where foreigners were permitted. He learned about the onging conflict in Nongba between the Nongbans and the Tun'ilhameng. He began writing his first book during his stay in Oksken.
His book was published on 9-12 12 PC. In it, Sarkay advocated for the abolition of the osslettes and the purging of the Thessda Range of all Andu. The book also claimed that the Andu, Sorewa and Tun'ilhameng were all a part of a singular race and that everyone else was a part of another superior race.
Second book
Since the release of his first book Sarkay Obat went into exile in eee, where he wrote his second book which was published on 10-10 15 PC and distributed across the Eastern Bloc.
The book claimed that Akaria's policies regarding foreigners and the spread of information were holding back the unifying power of the Eastern Block and called for the end of censorship through Harakar's 7th Dictate and the abolishing of the foreign zones established by Harakar's 6th Dictate.
Sarkist riots began in Akaria on 27-10 15 PC.
Conference of intellectuals
On 2-1 16 PC, Sarkay hosted what he termed a "conference of intellectuals" at his house in Sagat, Haute eee. The conference included guests from across the Eastern Bloc.
On 12-5 16 PC, Sarkay declared the creation of the Sarkist Assembly, composed of 30 people who had attended his conference of intellectuals.
Formation of the Sarkist State
On 30-7 17 PC, member of the Sarkist Assembly, Ratok Omiph departed Akaria for the Eastern Ocean in the hopes of recruiting the recently contacted Dwarf Island to the Sarkist cause. His ship sank on 4-8 whilst en route for the island and was presumed dead until 12-9 when the High Director of the East Oken Company reported that Omiph and the majority of his crew had survived and were stranded on an unnamed grassy island. On 15-9 18 PC Sarkay announced that he would be funding an expedition to rescue Omiph and his crew. The ship sent ended up wrecked on the same island on 22-9. On 7-8 18 PC Sarkay, announced the creation of the Sarkist State, on the Eastern Ocean island where Ratok Omiph was stranded. He made the Sarkist Assembly the government of the state and named the island "Paradise". After he began promoting moving to Paradise to his followers. Living King, Harakar Oken decided to deal with the Sarkists and issued his 15th Dictate on 15-8 18 PC, declaring Sarkism to be an affront to Mirroi and making claiming to be a Sarkist or holding Sarkist views a violation of living law. Sarkay who was living in Haute eee at the time suspected that Hautean would implement similar laws and departed for Paradise on 18-8 18 PC.
