Biography

Early life and ancestry

Saymok Deram was born in the Ekank Ordok, in Durantum within the Akarian Confederation, on 10-6 1567 TT during the reign of his grandfather Toghon Kakay. Saymok's grandfather on his father's side Tomaek was the leader of the Deram, a role later taken by his son and Saymok's father Barkon. His grandfather on his mother's side was Living King Toghon Kakay, whose daughter and Saymok's aunt, Horha would go on to marry future Living King Nimbak Perat.

During Nimabak's reign, Saymok was selected by the Durantum Perikat as the next Living King. When Nimbak died on 29-5 1522 TT Saymok succeeded him.

Early reign

Saymok used his position as Living King to help negotiate trade agreements between the Durantum Perikat and the Weer Naton. Saymok's 2nd Dictate issued on 7-8 1519 TT relegated more funds towards the building of the portions of the Toghon Road Network connecting the cities of the Deruntum Perikat to the Weer Nation.

The Withering

In 1518 TT the majority of the combkar crop failed resulting in one of the worst famines to have affected Akaria, known as The Withering. Saymok had learned early of the crop failures and predicted the famine that would follow and attempted to prevent it by issuing Saymok's 3rd Dictate on 26-8 1518 TT. The dictate shut down all work on the Toghon Road Network and used the taxes that would have gone to its construction to acquire food from the Weer Nation which was to be distributed once the famine set in. Though he had acted quickly he had underestimated the severity of the famine, the food stockpiled by his 3rd dictate was far from enough to prevent the famine.

Following additional crop failures in 1517 TT and 1516 TT Saymok issued his 7th Dictate establishing several large sukazandassaz orchards in coastal Akaria. Sukazandassaz trees are slow growing and would do nothing to put an end to the famine.
