Biography

Early life

Ekank was born on 28-3 1705 TT to Konak, Leader of the Deram Tribal Group. On his third birthday Ekank, who was not among Konak's first born sons was sent to his mother, Mayak's tribal group, the Bokok to be trained. Konak had expected his son to be trained and raised by his grandfather Vorkat, instead it was the leader of the Bokok, Dorvat who raised him. Dorvat who had been a close ally of Gotiph during the Saekarinian War trained Ekank in both the art of warfare and diplomacy. He returned to his father's tribal group on his twentieth birthday.

Konak died on 10-2 1703 TT. After three days of mourning, his eldest son Borkek proclaimed himself leader of the Deram. Ekank challenged the proclamation under the right of blood. The two engaged in a duel with Ekank emerging victorious and Borkek seriously wounded. Ekank's other brothers did not challenge him, making Ekank the leader of the Deram.

Leader of the Deram

In early 1682 TT the Weer Nation entered and occupied a portion of the Akaria Confederation in response to a raid carried out by the Ikane Tribal Group. On 11-4 1682 TT Wayok, leader of the Akarian Confederation spoke to the various leaders of the tribal groups within the confederation and advocated for a war against the Weer Nation. Those present, including Ekank agreed and set about rasing their armies. Whilst planning the invasion Wayok put Ekank in charge of liberating the occupied lands whilst he would go well into Weer lands to capture one of their larger cities. The unified force set off for the occupied lands on 13-11 1683 TT.

The forces arrived at the edge of the occupied zone on 2-1 1681 TT where the armies splint in two and parted ways.
