Dakota Mine

The Dakota Mine was an iron mine in the Deram Kadrike near the town of Dakota.

History

The mine was established by the Deram on 9-4 271 TT.

Collapse

Physical labour in the Dakota Mine, like all mines in Akaria at the time, was done by enslaved Andu. On 17-2 8 PC the Andu in the mine began a revolt and managed to take several hostages including, Artek Deram, son of the mine's warden Arikarok Deram. Rather than listening to the Andu's demands, Arikarok led an assault against them and was killed. Shortly after, another of Arikarok's children, Karika Deram detonated explosives around the mine collapsing it and killing all inside including himself.

Purchase

The remains of the mine were purchased by the Oken on 4-7 8 PC.

Rebuilding

The Oken purchased industrial mining equipment from the Confederated Nations of Niueyjar on 25-2 10 PC for use in the mine.
