'''Iktan the Devout''' was the founder of the First United Kingdom of Bakil (the first iteration of a [[Packilvania|Packilvanian]] nation-state) and the Iktanite dynasty that ruled from 675 to 1112. The Iktanite dynasty was the longest reigning dynasty of a Packilvanian nation-state. He is given the nickname "The Devout" because he was known as highly devoted to [[Paxism]]. His devotion to Paxism was so great that when King Obed II of [[Bingol]] attempted to make changes to the Vagumar religious text published by King [[Suleiman of Yehudah]] in 1100 BCE, that he declared war on and defeated the Bingolites and established his new capital in the city of [[Adrien]].
