The Amarken were one of many drikes that once existed in the Karin Plains.

History

Early History

Little is known about the early history of the Amarken. What is known is that at some point a man named Agok took over the group. The reign of Agok along with that of his son Kaport are poorly documented.

Harmak

Harmak became the leader of the Amarken around 1831 TT, presumably after the death of his father Kaport.

On 24-4-1798 TT the Amarken with the neighboring Arkaran established the Akarian Perikat in response to increased hostility from the Andu Kur after having rejected a perikat proposal a year prior.

Harmak died on 24-9 1795 TT. His son and heir Ambat was killed in a duel by Kadar, leader of the Arkarans.

Kadar

On 30-10-1795 TT Kadar announced to both the Amarkens and the Arkarans that he beleived that the gods that the Karinians worshipped were nothing more than powerful spirits who had been exploiting them for centuries and that for someone or something to be considered a god they must be both spirit and man. He went on to state that he had found a spirit and fused with it. 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.

The Andu Kur launched an invasion of the Karin Plains on 26-4 1791 TT. Amarken warriors were some of the first deployed against the invaders.

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 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 they declared the war over and began discussing what to do next. It was three days after that on 24-7 1787 TT that the Akarinian Confederation was established with Kadar as its first leader. From that point on, the Amarken ceased exist in an organised for and ceased to exist in any form after Kadar's death on 12-3 1757 TT.
