Mikare

The Mikare are one of the Kadrikes of Akaria.

History

Under the Andu Kur

The Mikare rose to prominence in the wall city of Mida in the early 1200 TTs as a trade family.

Akarinian invasion

The Akarinian Confederation invaded the Andu Kur in 1425 TT and laid siege to Mida. The war ended on 8-1, 1419 TT with the Andu Kur giving a piece of land, which included Mida, to the Akarinian Confederation. The Akarinians treated the Andu in Mida poorly, but the Mikare, being a Karinian family was treated well and quickly developed a working relationship with the new owners of the city.

Living King Sayaph Lakar was killed on 14-1 1419 TT. Dakarkon Deram, an Akarinian officer in Brinor (near Mida), declared himself Living King without the approval of those of the Karin Plain. On 16-1 1419 TT he issued his 1st Dictate recognising the Mikare as a Kadrike to secure their loyalty for a potential civil war. The dictate also specified that Akabata Mikare was the Leader of the Mikare, Dakarkon would marry Akabata's daughter Omort and that the first son from this marriage would be made the Leader of the Mikare on his birth.

2nd Durantum Perikat

The 1st Bar Perikat failed to select their candidate for Living King and by the time Dakarkon got to Ablesken on 19-1, 1419 TT the majority of Akaria already recognised him as Living King. The Mikare joined the newly formed 2nd Durantum Perikat.

Omort gave birth to Emachium Mikare on 28-4 1417 TT and was made Leader of the Mikare, with Akabata acting as regent. He acted as regent until he was arrested by the Living Army on 25-8 1392 TT for violating Dakarkon's 1st Dictate. Dakarkon died on 25-11 1377 TT and Emachium succeeded him as Living King. On 7-9 1374 TT Emachium returned to Mida to take up residence so that he could better continue his duties as the Leader of the Mikare. During his time in Mida Emachium primarily focused on ruling the lands of the Mikare and dealing with issues relating to the Mikare. On occasion, he'd issue Living dictates to better his Kadrike. Despite favouring the Mikare the majority of Emachium's dictates were seen as beneficial to Akaria save for his 5th Dictate issued on 12-5 1354 TT. The dictate ordered a large expansion to his primary residence, the Goghon Palace. Many across Akaria saw this as decadent and not something a Living King would do and contributed to The Questioning.

The 2nd Durantum Perikat ended in 1196 TT when the Deram had a falling out with Living King Matart Kakay.

Klaichandoi's deal

On 13-6 467 TT the Oceanic Council anounced that the majority of their iron mines had begun to deplete and were expected to be completely out of iron within the next decade. Living King Oirula Dakon unwillingless to make a deal with the Deram –Who controlled the Thessda Range and its vast deposits of iron– led to the collapse of the 2nd Agrada Perikat after his death and the election of Living King Klaichandoi Lakar. A deal was struck between Klaichandoi and the Deram on 13-8 454 TT resulting in five living dictates being issued. The forth of which ordered the Mikare and Perat to act as mediatators for the Kingdom of Akaria regarding trade with the Deram.
