Deram-Oken Alliance

The Deram-Oken Alliance is an informal Kadrike Alliance.

History

Creation

On 17-2 8 PC the Dakota Mine collapsed due to a revolt of the mine's Andu slaves. Leader of the Deram, Ara Deram met with Leader of the Perat, Storm Perat and Living King, Harakar Oken on 23-5 8 PC to discus the loss of the mine. The meeting went poorly with a fight breaking out between Storm and Ara. It was only through Harakar's intevention that they all survived the incident. The next day all trade ties between the Perat and the Deram were severed. The Deram made up for this on 29-8 8 PC with the creation of trade deals with the Oken. The Oken were later granted the right to rebuild and run the Dakota Mine.

The Dakota Mine reopened on 7-3 10 PC using hired Karinians for labour instead of enslaved Andu as it had previously used. By tradition Karinians were not supposed to be used to mine with that job being reserved for the enslaved Andu, as such the use of Karinians in the mine was kept secret. Ara was one of the few who knew Karinians were used in the mine, and opposed their use, but still maintained the secret to avoid the Oken and Deram's mutual rivals from using that information against them. Ara met with Harakar in Dokaim on 11-9 10 PC. During the meeting Harakar convinced Ara that it was in their best interests to have Karinian's work in the mine and established the informal Deram-Oken Alliance.
