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

Beginning in 1520 TT the fungus memphis began attacking the combkar crop causing mass crop failures. By 1518 TT these crop failures had resulted in a full-blown famine known as The Withering.
