Kakel

 

Kakel June 558 KG - September 93 KG) was the last king of Saltha, and is regarded by the vast majority as the worst and most cruel in the history of Saltha.

 

Kakel was born to a noble family and became the advisory to the the-reigning king. In 33 KG , the king died of what then appeared to be of natural causes. Today it is highly believed that Kakel may have used a drug that was uncommonly known at the time that would kill the king and not seem to be murder, though this is still debated by historians weither this is or not fact.

 

Having no heir, the nobles elected that Kakel should lead them as king, and so on Febuary 4, 32 KG Kakel was coronated king of Saltha.

 

Kakel in his first few years was mostly generous, but then after that time began to increase taxes drastically for his own funds and imprisoned and tortured dissenters. In 30 KG protests that were sometimes violent began. Kakel made promises a few times to try to call disent, such as promises to lower the taxes, but after a few months the people would realize he had no intention of following through

 

At one time, Kakel decreed the creation of a people's senate to take some of the powers in order to sooth anti-monarchist sentiments. Their first task was to example and condemn the civil rights abuses by Kakel, and decree that Kakel's rule was illegitimate. In response Kakel had the senate disbanded, and some of the leaders beaten and jailed.

 

Kakel was opportunistic and saw the war in the eastern parts of the continent as a opportunity at a land grab. And so Kakel declared war, despite advice from his cabinet allying himself with the human nation of Trahern against Braydon and later Sylvane.

 

In 10 KG protests became even more violent, now building preasure because of the war. Kakel's apparent lack of concern for his citizens in the form of harsh taxes. On September 8, 10 KG (Ironicly the day before he would later die) in what was later known as The Ñaska Flogging he arrested a young anti-monarchist pro-senate protester named  Urela who published a pamphlet "Santh and Democracy", that was a religous and social argument for the abolishment of monarchy and the establishment of a democratic system. Also arrest was his fiance Kari and her young eight year old brother. Kakel ordered them to be taken to the square of Ñaska and, had them stripped naked and severely beaten in broad daylight.

 

This of course instead of intimidating the people, it  only infuriated the public more What popular support he had disappeared drastically. The time of peaceful protest was over and violent rebellion started. By 3 KG. Kakel's army, weakened from the resolve of the rebels and the loosing war were defeated, the capital palace was breached and Kakel was tried by the people's jury on September 7, 1 KG and beheaded on September 9,3 KG. Kakel died at the age of 57. 

Instead of  burning the body, as is traditional, Kakel's body was buried, scattered over the desert.
