Bar

Bar is the capital of the Dar Kadrike.

History

For a long time, the Dar lived as nomads around the area, which would one day host the city of Bar. On 28-10 1680 TT the Weer Nation made a deal with the Lakar that led to the establishment of Lasken. Some within the Dar saw this city as a potential threat and wished for the Dar to devote resources to build a fort to counter it. However, Dorok, Leader of the Dar did not see it as such and ordered no such fortification. This potential threat did not leave their minds, and on 11-6 1677 TT they got together and killed Dorok. At his funeral, those who had killed Dorok insisted that only a descendant of Kadar could lead the Dar (perhaps inspired by Ekank's recent ascension as Living King) and killed any who dared to declare themselves leader who did not match this criterion. At the time there was only one member of the Dar that was a descendant of Kadar, Dorok's son Vakari (and also his daughter Sike but Karinians of this time rarely considered women). Vakari, however, was only 19 at the time, below the Karinian age of adulthood of 20. As such those who had killed Dorok created the Council of Bar to rule in Vakari's name until he came of age (despite this they ruled until Vakari's death 120 years later). The first order from the Council of Bar was to establish a fortification called Bar, so named to hide its military purpose.

In the years that followed a settlement grew out of the fortress.
