Blood on the Sand
#2
Ishanbal, Khanid | Vintyr, 1598


"We have been informed that [Ysmail] Zayadin has been arrested in Wadiyah", Dogan told to Okan Saat. "His situation is unclear right now. Nobody has seen him for seven days, and it is unclear where he could be held right now".

Okan Saat nodded, although many things came through on his mind.

He didn't know Zayadin very well, despite they had met more than ten times in the last decade. Saat felt that Zayadin was an "old school" militant, someone that was both efficient and commited to the cause, but which personality and attitude were not exactly the best for needs of today. Unsurprisingly, Zayadin had started his rise in the organization during Ilsat Amerhanur's leadership, which felt like another era for younger militants. Still, Ysmail Zayadin had remained one of the most influential members of the Akhadic Society in Wadiyah for at least two decades, in both times of war and peace.

Okan Saat, on the other hand, belonged to a younger generation. Before being appointed to the Akhadic Council in 1579, he had prominent positions in the Ministry of Education in Khanid. In 1589, he was appointed deputy chairman of the Akhadic Society, becoming Kamran Akçam's right-hand. In 1595, when Akçam announced his resignation, Saat was predictably appointed Chairman of the Akhadic Society, the second Khanidian to hold such position and the first one since 1559.

During Kamran Akçam's leadership, from 1569 to 1595, the organization had modernized its structure and bureaucracy. Akçam had been respected, and even venerated, by the members of the organization, but still his popularity in the ranks of organizations and his efforts to the cause, the weakness of the Akhadic Society had remained a too big obstacle.

Founded in 1529, being the oldest Akhadist political organization, despite its influence and large membership, the Akhadic Society had failed to gain power in any Near East country. Only in the short-lived Akhadic Republic of Kyrzbekistan, in which server prominent Akhadic Society members served as ministers and other political offices, and during the election of Elbrus Almasur as Governor in the Kyrzbekistan's eastern region of Yartushia, the Akhadic Society had only touched political power in local elections. Rojadavistani independence gave hopes to the Akhadic Society, but they were defeated by a rival Akhadist party, losing the presidency twice to Serefxane Canê. Canê's increasing influence in the Near East weakened Akhadic Society in Kyrzbekistan and Wadiyah, while the Akhadic Society was also pushed by more radical Akhadist organizations in other countries.

Okan Saat felt the need of a change of direction, but he found himself dealing soon with internal problems after the death of Yasher Suleyman, the spiritual leader of the Akhadic Society since 1559. Saat realized that the election of a Khanidian chairman was likely to mean a more complicated relation with Khanid government, which Akçam had tried hard to amend in the last two decades. However, there were still some hopes in the horizon, including the death of Bash'am al-Laham in Ga'bath only two months ago.
