Biography
Early life
Bantu Arkara was born on 13-5 180 TT in Ablesken, Kingdom of Akaria, though he was raised in Saeskar by relatives there.
37th Living Election
Living King Chogot Banokan died on 22-1 143 TT triggering the 37th Living Election. In 146 TT the Deram overthrew the government of the Mikare and replaced their leader Kamachium Mikare with his cousin, Echantium Mikare. Responses to this across the Karin Plain were largely negative, with the majority of the Kadrikes, including the Arkara calling for an all out war against the Deram. Chogot declared no war and instead out several sanctions in place against the Deram and the Mikare. Some, including the Arkara were not happy about what they saw as a lackluster response. This unhappiness lead to to Bantu Arkara being elected Living King on 15-3 143 TT with a new perikat consisting of the Arkara, Ikane, Kakay, Perat, and Skrake.
Living King
Initially Bantu had intended to bring Akaria to war with the Deram, however two days after his asscention a fire consumed the Weer city of Manser. As Manser produced a large portion of the Living Army's weapons and munitions a war was considered to be impractical with this crucial part of the supply line being non-functional. Bantu's 1st Dictate was issued on 24-3 143 TT, declaring that Echantium Mikare was an illegitimate ruler of the Mikare and that only the descendants of Kamachium were to be considered legitimate.
Following Bantu's ascension the Living Press began issuing vast amounts of Anti-Deram propaganda.
