Biography
Early life
Artak was born in Agrada on 15-4 55 TT to Kamakta Arkara and his wife Amailide. At the age of four his grandfather, the Ossbosche of Grada Herkaz Arkara sent Artak to the city of Saeskar to be raised by relatives there. Artak was educated at the Skrake Brown and Green School from 44 TT until his graduation as bosche in 34 TT. On 7-2 31 TT the Ossbosche of Saekraim Temurak Skrake put Artak in control of a shrine to Gotiph as an udenbosche.
Udenbosche
On 25-3 23 TT Artak was resigned to being the Udenbosche of Resources at his own request.
Kamakta Arkar began his involvement in the Arkara Plot during 22 TT or earlier. On 11-5 22 TT a small crate of fertiliser, for use in the Arkara Plot arrived at the Skrasken Ordok. Bosche Tyshok Perat asked what it was for and Artak lied and told him that it was to be given to the Sotai family, whose last shipment had been slightly lacking.
The Ossbosche of Saekraim, Huzok Skrake died on 18-6 11 TT from, what was ruled at the time to be a heart attack. Artak Arkara was elected to replace him on 25-6 11 TT.
Ossbosche
On 9-12 10 TT, Tyshok Perat released the Tyshok Report, revealing parts of the Arkara Plot and providing evidence towards those who had been assassinated by members of the Arkara. Among those linked to this was Huzok Skrake. These revelations began the False War. During the False War, many ossbosches, udenbosches and members of the Kadrikes were assassinated or driven into hiding. Artak, however, continued to publicly serve as the Ossbosche of Saekraim, personally surviving over a dozen assassination attempts. On 13-7 4 TT, Artak's uncle, Living King, Bantar Arkara was assassinated. Artak left for Ablesken to elect his successor and remained in the capital until 30-10 2 TT when Harakar Oken was named Living King.
As the years went by, public opinion of the Arkara continued to deteriorate. On 4-2 3 PC, Harakar Oken issued Harakar's 10th Dictate, which barred members of the Arkara from serving as ossbosches. Artak refused to recognize the dictate and did not step down. Three days later, a group of soldiers sent by the Ossbosche Assembly arrived at the Skrasken Ordok to forcibly remove Artak from his position. Artak's guards killed three of them before they retreated. The next day, Artak's father and Leader of the Arkara, Kamakta Arkara, declared the Arkara's defiance to the dictate, beginning the Arkara Uprising of 3 PC. The Living Army was sent to capture Arkara-held ossletes in the Arkara Kadrike and the Skrake Army was sent to capture Saekraim. The Skrake Army quickly captured most of Saeskar but Artak and a group of his forces managed to hold out in the Skrasken Ordok. Peace was achieved on 24-3 3 PC, when Kamakta recognised the dictate in exchange for total amnesty in regard to the uprising. Artak stepped down as the Ossbosche of Saekraim later that day.
