Kadar or Kadar of the Arkarans was the founder of the Akarian Confederation and the first god of Kadarism.

Biography

Early life

Kadar was born on 12-11 1822 TT. He was the third son of Yandak, who was the leader of the Arkaran Tribal Group and a cousin of Harmak, leader of the Amarken Tribal Group.

Yandak was killed whilst chasing down Andu Kur raiders in late 1800 TT. His death was unknown to the Arkarans for a period afterwards, as it was unreported. It was only on 2-1 1799 TT that Kadar was named leader.

Leader of the Arkarans

Kadar had attempted to form a perikat with the Amarkens during his first year in power but was rejected by their leader Harmak who feared that the youthful Kadar would try to see him overthrown. The Akarian Perikat between the two was established on 24-4 1798 TT following an increase in the frequency of Andu Kur raids.

Kadar was with the Amarkens when Harmak died on 24-9 1795 TT. After three days of mourning, Harmak's son Ambat proclaimed himself leader of the Amarkens. Kadar challenged the proclamation under the right of blood. The two engaged in a duel with Kadar emerging victorious and Ambat dead. Kadar was now the leader of the Amarkens.

On 30-10 1795 TT Kadar held a large ceremony with his two tribal groups. During which he publicly claimed that he had traveled to the Isle of Mirrors and dicovoured that their gods were nothing more than powerful spirits who had been exploiting them for centuries. He went on to state that fought with the leader of these spirits and fused with it become the first true god. He claimed that the spirit gave him foresight powers strong enough to allow him and his forces to drive back the Andu Kur during their next large scale attack. This marked the beginning of Kadarism.

The other Tribal Groups of the Karin Plains did not initially believe in Kadar's claim to divinity or his description of divinity. On 15-11 1794 TT the Deram Tribal Group recognised Kadar's claims and joined the Akarian Perikat. The leader of the Deram was a man named Atet. Atet was a brother-in-law of the late Ambat and might have seen it as a way to ally himself with his brother-in-laws tribal group. Regardless of intent the move convinced more tribal groups to recognize the divinity of Kadar and join forces.

On 3-7 1792 TT, Kadar met with the Oken, who had previously ruled over the Okenarian Confederation which had been torn apart by tyhe Andu during their 1800 TT invation to request his aid. Amoka, Leader of the Oken denied Kadar's request claiming that if they were to go to war with the Andu so soon after their last defeat to them they'd be wiped out. Amoka's son Chalatun supported and made allies with Kadar, bringing with him many of the Oken's warriors who wished for revenge against the Andu. Amoka expelled Chalatun who founded the Banokan to conteract this.

The Andu Kur launched a full on invasion of Kadar's forces on 26-4 1791 TT. Kadar gathered the Akarian Perikat to defend against the invasion and personally led them in many battles. On 8-1 1790 TT over half of the Andu Kur invasion force began to withdraw from the campaign against Kadar and his followers, leading to Kadar's eventual victory.

On 11-7 1787 TT Kadar's forces managed to route what was left of the Andu Kur and capture the Andu city of Kanda. Kadar ordered the city destroyed and for it's population either being executed or enslaved. Kadar and the leaders of his various tribal allies remained at the ruins of the city for ten days. On that tenth day when no Andu forces arrived thay declared the war over and began discussing what to do next. It was three days after that on 24-7 1787 TT that the Akarian Confederation was established with Kadar as its first leader.

Leader of the Akarian Confederation

On 28-7 1784 TT Kadar ordered a series of fortifications to be constructed along portions of the Thessda Range to protect against future Andu incursions.

Kadar died on 12-3 1757 TT, he was succeeded as the leader of the Akarian Confederation by his son Aket.

Notes

Kadar's exact date of birth remains a matter of debate. The Ossbosche Assembly has recorded his date of birth as 12 11 1822 TT. This was initialy recorded through oral tradition and may not be historically accurate.

Many of the dates that take place after Kadar became the leader of the Arkarans are corroborated via ancient Weer records.
