ATARY is an empire made up of 110 provinces some decades back, with the headquarters being
Tary province. This is where the Chief Emperor, Huar, lives. His palace was greatly surrounded by the soldiers, those who are special forces and who could handle different weapons of war were those who surrounded the Palace where Huar the emperor lives.
The chief emperor after conquering a war for the country assumed the position of the chief emperor being the second in command to the chief emperor who was on the throne before. Chief emperor Janzt lost his life in the battle of the emperors and kings that was held in the center of the then world. The battle was serious and very grievous for chief emperor Janzt, his life was eventually claimed during the fierce battle.
However his second in command, Huar, who was in the control of the North wing of the battle was contacted of what happened to Janzt and he had to assume the position of leadership at the battle front. Immediately he assumed the position of leadership of the Atary empire, things changed and the enemies who had been having the upper hand before started losing the battle such that the soldiers of Atary eventually won the battle subduing their many enemies in the battle front.
After the victory at the battle front, they gathered the spoil of the battle and returned to their land. They rebuilt Tary part of which the enemies have destroyed. After rebuilding it, they fortified it and had many soldiers surrounding the palace. Emperor Huar who has just assumed the throne started well, as he consulted the expatriates of the land on how to move the empire forward. After 10 months of leadership when he felt he has been established in the empire, he started looking other ways not minding the plight of the inhabitants of the land. In fact he asked them to use most of their time for his services while they have little time for themselves. By this Huar’s wealth started growing like grass and he could compete with other wealthy rulers of the then world.
Out of 110 provinces, a province called Itez has educated people living in the province. About 70% of the inhabitants and indigenes of this province of Itez has travelled out for studying the cultures of other lands which was the in vogue academics then. Some of their indigenes could not make it back home as the kings of those lands whom they had been to on seeing how they have contributed to the well-being of their countries, they decided to make them the native or indigenes of their lands. Some whom they thought do not want to give the kings’ or emperors leaderships a thought were given women to marry in their lands, by that many of them could not return to their lands and provinces and those who even returned would come transiently and leave back for their bases in a short time.
Despite the fact that many of their indigenes have become indigenes and nationalities of other kingdoms and domains, the province of Itez still had well educated people in their province. Due to this, they carved out a system of ruler-ship for themselves, such that irrespective of whatever happens they have decided to be sticking by the rule. And what was the rule? The rule was that the entire inhabitants of the province of Itez would go to the designated places to elect who will lead them for some certain periods of time, which was 6 years.
Why did they do this? They did this because the province was not formed by a singular person, those who formed the province migrated together into the island and on finding the place suitable they decided to settle there. After settling there and some troubles wanted to develop on who will be their head, that was when they decided to come with the rule of electing whosoever will lead the province. This they have successfully been doing.
The person on the throne of the province now is Idoki. Since Itez province has given all and sundry equal chance to compete for the position of the leadership in the province that was why Idoki could also compete and win the election into the throne of Itez province. Idoki was not the preferred candidate for the position 6 years ago when the election was to be conducted, but he enjoyed the support of the then chief emperor, Janzt, who has a lady he was involved with in the province. The lady he was involved with happened to be a relative of idoki and she told Janzt that what she desires him to do for her is to help her brother win the election into the oval office and seat of the province of Itez. Janzt did not want to lose the lady he was involved with, because apart from romantic involvement, Janzt was also deriving other benefits from the lady. He thus used his power and everything within his reach in maneuvering the outcome of the election to get the position for Idoki.
A proverb says a journey of a thousand years will end one day, so also is the oval office and seat on which Idoki sits on, it will end in some moons time. According to the rule subscribed to by the entire inhabitants of the province of Itez, everyone who has interest in becoming a leader of the province for the next 6 years has started gathering together people and they have been mapping strategies on how and what to do to secure the position. So far about 70 candidates have shown their interest in occupying the oval office of the province. Out of these candidates news being aired around showed that some people prefer Szek to occupy the position because right from the time past he has always been there with the people, he has done so many things that the people could see. However, despite this, Szek, may likely not win the election according to the polls conducted recently. What is the reason? The reason is that Szek is close to the new chief emperor of the empire, emperor Huar. They have attended the same schools together in the past and apart from that they have personal relationships and because of this the people of the province Itez is thinking they may not vote for Szek in the coming election.
Idoki also has someone very close to him and Idoki has in the secret and in the open supported the man. The name of the man is Kelatin. Kelatin is also one of the good soldiers who fought side by side with Janzt before he was killed on the battle front. Before now, Janzt has been living in the land of Tary which was the headquarters of the Atary empire. However when Idoki has been made the emperor of the island of Itez he has moved to the province and he retired solely at the province and was decorated with some special roles by emperor Idoki. Now to compensate what Janzt had done for him he also wanted Kelatin to assume the oval office.
This became a heated debate in the province of Itez, and it is now left for the populace the electorate within the island to decide on what they want and whom they want to occupy the oval seat of the province of Itez. Running around continued until about 48 hours to the date of the election when running around was banned and anyone found to run around after this, the person he or she is running around for would be suspended. Just as it is now, the same was then, those people who are in the affairs of this knows that, this last 48 hours is the crucial time for them and so they know how to make silent and secretive contacts. These secretive contacts often times turn tables around for some who may have been basking in the euphoria of the erstwhile running around. And this would not be any difference also this time around.
When the election was to be conducted, there were serious problems here and there such that the election became inconclusive. This has never happened in the history of the province of Itez and when the authorities at the center headed by the emperor Huar heard of this, he sent an emperor from one of his soldiers to rule the province for 12 moons saying by the end 12 moons he would review may be the province is ripe for the election or nay and if he finds out that the province has not shown any substantial changes he will extend the length of months and may even transfer someone else to the province to rule them. The people of the province cried, talked, demonstrated, but emperor Huah never changed his mind.
At the end of 12 moons, he extended the length by sending in another soldier for another 12 moons. Before the newly transferred soldier could complete his moons, Idoki was kidnapped and now, it became an easy thing for the province as she elected Szek as her emperor for another 6 years….
