## Biography

### Early life (371 ASB - 391 ASB)

Daniel I (born Daniel Horiano) was born on M9-07 371 ASB to a woman named Rebecca Horiano and the estranged brother of King Claysius IV of Clayistan Antonio Sectile. Antonio Sectile died on M1-12 373 ASB leaving Daniel to be raised by his mother, who taught him that the throne of Clayistan had been his birthright and was wrongly stolen from him.

Rebecca Horiano died on M3-18 391 ASB. His Daniel was devastated by his mothers death and decided that he would honor her memory by taking control of his birthright.

### Against Clayistan (391 ASB - 440 ASB)

On M8-25 394 ASB Liquid Carbon invaded and occupied much of the Kingdom of Clayistan during the Great Soil War, Whitecourt was among the cities occupied. Daniel had no love for the Liquid Carbon forces but understood that they were an enemy of Clayistan and therefor could help him on his journey to taking the throne. On M8-30 394 ASB Daniel entered the Liquid Carbon Garrison in his city and offered its commanding officer his services as an informant and in exchange he would be placed on the throne of Clayistan as a Liquid Carbon vassal, the commanding officer accepted his proposal. Throughout Liquid Carbon's occupation of Whitecourt Daniel provided them with information regarding the whereabouts of Clayistan National Army members and other resistors. Liquid Carbon withdrew from Whitecourt on M11-29 395 ASB.

On M10-14 403 ASB a man ran up to Horiano and gave him a package before swiftly departing, the package contained a letter that asked Daniel to provide some information and leave it at a very specific location, the information he had to provide was little more than locations of fortifications within Whitecourt so he followed through. On M11-22 403 ASB another man ran into Horiano and gave him a letter, this letter gave Horiano a location, and a not telling him to go there, the location mentioned was a small fishing village called Brown Harbour. Daniel arrived at Brown Harbour on M2-16 404 ASB where he was ambushed by a group of armed men and knocked unconscious. When Daniel awoke he was within a shipping container that had been converted into a cell of sorts, on the outside of the cell was Soil Union Union Head Frank Stallion. Stallion told Daniel that he had brought him to Brown Harbour with the intent to recruit him to "Incite revolt within Clayistan", and in exchange he would be declared King of Clayistan by the Soil Union once the war was at an end. Daniel accepted the offer and throughout the League-Union Conflict incited multiple minor revolts against Clayistan.

On M5-19 429 ASB during the War of Heordian Deposition Horiano rounded up a group of Soil Union supporters and declared to them that if Claysando II won the war then Clayistan would join the Soil Union and declared the creation of the Brethren of Ardash named for Claysando II of the House of Ardash, who was attempting to seize the throne of Clayistan from Dervot IV. Daniel did not care about who one the war, he only cared that it would weaken the position of Clayistan and might allow for him to take the throne. After their creation the Brethren of Ardash set off into the Clayistria Mountain Range to wage a guerilla war. The War of Heordian Deposition ended on M1-19 435 ASB with Claysando II victorious. Daniel damned Claysando II as a traitor for not joining the Soil Union and used that as justification to continue fighting in the mountains.

On M4-30 439 ASB Daniel Horiano was gravely injured during a raid on a supply depot. Daniel's supports decided that the best course of action would be to deliver him to one of the cities and continue their war, Daniel objected but his supporters cared only to keep their leader alive and on M5-01 439 ASB Daniel was dropped off in the city of Vetchinia. It was in Vetchinia where Daniel learned that the Soil Union had dissolved two years ago and that his actions in the mountains had been for nothing, he decided to remain in Vetchinia as their was no longer anything in the mountains for him.

On M4-14 440 ASB Danial was visited by none other than the King of Clayistan Claysando II, Daniel could not believe that he had finally met with the King of Clayistan himself but was unsure of what he had to do from there. He didn't have to do much of anything as Claysando II had come with a proposal for his dear cousin, he needed him to lead the Kingdom of Sandy Clay Loam as their new king, Daniel thought only for a moment before deciding that he did in fact want to become King of Sandy Clay Loam. Daniel was escorted to Terracotta City for training before being declared King of Sandy Clay Loam on M5-07 440 ASB with Daniel Horiano becoming Daniel I of the House of Horiano.

### King of Sandy Clay Loam (440 ASB - present)

Daniel I had the Kingdom of Sandy Clay Loam take part in the United Invasion of the United Peoples of Carbbonia which began on M2-05 445 ASB and ended on M5-25 445 ASB, during the invasion the Kingdom of Sandy Clay Loam began occupying a portion of the land taken. On M3-28 446 ASB the leaders of the Anti-Shale Pact (ASP) decided to divide up some of the land occupied by the ASP between them with the Kingdom of Sandy Clay Loam gaining a detached peninsula.

On M5-10 446 ASB the King of Clayistan Manterro II invaded the Clay Loam Confederation begging the Clayistan-Clay Loam War. Daniel I had discovered that the people of his country were not exactly thrilled about being ruled by a clay and decided that joining the war with Manterro II would be a good way to get his people to bond to him, so on the same day that Clayistan invaded so did the Kingdom of Sandy Clay Loam. The war with the Clay Loam Confederation went well for Daniel I's forces and on M10-10 446 ASB Daniel I accepted a peace treaty between his country and the Clay Loam Confederation that gave his country a sizable chunk of Clay Loam lad, whilst Clayistan was still fighting the war.
