Oksken is the largest city in the Kingdom of Akaria. It is the capital of the Okenate Osslette.

One of the events that greatly contributed to the city's development was the Great Weer Fire of 143 TT. The fire, which was caused by an explosion in a chemical plant destyroyed most of the masssive industrial sector of Manser and led to the Weer Family moving production of volitile chemicals to the underdeveloped town of Oksken. In the years that followed the move signifacantly more factories were built in the area by the native Oken Family.

In 50 TT, the Kankart Economic Assessment found Oksken to be one of the best cities for business in Akaria. The Foreign Examiner ranked Oksken as one of the friendliest cities in Akaria to foreigners. The central Oksken Village is popular among foreign visitors to the city.

History

Pre-Nomadic period

Archaeological finds indicate that the area where Oksken currently occupies had been inhabited on and off for a significant period of time. Remains of temporary settlements dating back to around 5000 TT were discovered in the centre of today's Chemical District.

Nomadic period

The Nomadic Period was marked by more constant habitation by specific tribal groups. Around 1820 TT the Oken Tribal Group constructed Oksken Fortress cementing both the pseudo permanent settlement of the Okens and the first recorded use of the name Oksken. Soon after the construction of the fortress a slightly larger settlement sprang up surronding it in what would become the modern Oksken Village.

The location of Oksken on the southern shores of the Karin Plains gave it a slight edge over other early Karinian settlements. As it was far to the south of the island the settlement rarely experianced Andu raids and as it was located on the shore competition from rival tribal groups was limited. Though the location also lacked many natural resources which severely limited the growth of the tribal group.

Confederate period

A Kadarist shrine and accompanying building was established in Oksken at some point following the establishment of the Akarian Confederation in 1787 TT. The Oken Tribal Group joined the Akarian Confederation on 7-30 1721 TT. By this point most in Oksken had become adherents to Kadarism.
