History
Contact between Okrit and the Attu Archipelago was established on 4-3 9 PC. Relations and formal communications began when sailors of various nations began to arrive in Okrit with intentions to trade. These trading intentions directed them to Nkrama, an economically powerful city state that sat at the apex of the trade flow between the west and east of the Islands. A prominent member of Nkrama's economy was spice merchant Aakar Orit, a powerful Oye nobleman who had soon gained a social monopoly on interaction and trade with easterners through sabotage and assassinations. On 24-5 9 PC Aakar began to claim that he was the ruler of all of Okrit as the President of the United Okriti Republic. By 11 PC, Nkrama began to suffer an outbreak of Purple Fever, a disease which heavily effected population numbers as well as economic demand, further strengthening Orit's influence. It was at this point that Orit would begin to hire a number of mercenaries and bribe various officials for de facto control over the city and restricting eastern traders to Nkrama.
