View source for Purification of Able

The '''Purification of Able''' was the mass killing of Deram and Deram-affiliated people in the Deram Kadrike in late 564 TT and early 563 TT. It was conducted by the [[Arkara Army|Arkara]], [[Dakon Army|Dakon]], [[Ikane Army|Ikane]], [[Kakay Army|Kakay]], and [[Skrake Army|Skrake]] Armies.

== Background ==
On 21-8, 594 TT [[Living King]] [[Arikarin Deram]] used the [[Living Army]] to remove the [[Ossbosche of East Able]], [[Amarkil Arkara]], from his position. The [[Arkara]], with the support of their [[Kadrike]] allies, then waged the [[Able War]] against Arikarin. Arikarin was killed at the end of the war on 26-2 591 TT. Afterwards, Akaria was ruled by the Arkara-led [[2nd Agrada Perikat]].

On 25-8 564 TT, [[Bolakh Deram]], son of Arikarin Deram, killed Living King [[Gonchidor Ikane]] to avenge his father. Shortly after, [[Ochi Skrake]] was elected Living King and requested the Deram to hand over Bolakh Deram to be tried for his crimes[[. Leader of the Deram]], [[Fanachar Deram]], declined, claiming that no law was broken under Deram Law. Ochi tried to send the [[Enforcers of Living Law]] (ELL) to arrest Bolakh, but the [[Ossbosche of West Able]], who commanded the ELL, [[Hamalan Deram]], refused to follow the order. In response, Ochi issued his [[Ochi's 1st Dictate|1st Dictate]] on 30-11 564 TT, dissolving the ELL. 

== Massacre ==
The 2nd Agrada Perikat was not happy with Bolakh and on 4-12 564 TT the armies of the [[Arkara]], [[Dakon Army|Dakon]], [[Ikane Army|Ikane]], [[Kakay Army|Kakay]], and [[Skrake Army|Skrake]] entered the [[Deram Kadrike]] with the stated intent of arresting Bolakh. Once in the [[Deram Kadrike]] the armies began killing any Deram and Deram-affiliated person they could find. The [[Deram Army]] could not defend against the invading forces and instead focused their effort on evacuating Deram personnel in [[Durantum]] to the outpost of [[Dokraim]] in the [[Thessda Range]]. Among those evacuated were Bolakh and Fanachar.

The massacre continued intermittently into early 563 TT.

== Aftermath ==
The Arkara, Dakon, Ikane, Kakay and Skrake continued to occupy the Deram Kadrike until 20-9 536 TT when Living King Ochi Skrake formally dissolved by the [[Deram Kadrike]] and established the [[Arkara Kadrike]] in its place.

The Deram established [[Dokraim]] as their informal capital. On 5-10 564 TT they established the [[Council of Restoration]] with the goal of one day returning to the [[Karin Plain]] and Durantum.
