## Biography

### Early Life (372 ASB - 397 ASB)

Claysando II (born Claysando Ardash) was born on M5-07 372 ASB to a Sand mother named Samantha Ardash and King of Clayistan Claysius IV. Due to being a bastard upon his birth, Claysando and his mother were sent off to live in one of Claysius IV's manors in Sunbell with Claysando completely unaware of his lineage, having only having met Claysius a few times when he had come to deliver money to his mother.

At the start of 390 ASB, Claysando left home to study at Roslund University, where he would study history. In M9 of 391 ASB, Claysando was informed of the Sandy Clay Uprising and the beginning of the Great Soil War, and on M8-25 394 ASB, Roslund, along with the rest of the Kingdom of Clayistan was invaded and occupied by Liquid Carbon. During this period of occupation, Claysando took note of Liquid Carbon military protocol and formations.

On M7-04 397 ASB, Claysando returned home to Sunbell, where he discovered his family's manor destroyed. After asking around, he discovered that his mother had been killed during interrogation by Soil Union soldiers, who had assumed she was connected to the uprising and war due to her wealth that had no apparent source. The death of his mother had left Claysando alone and without an income source.

### Rise to Power (397 ASB - 399 ASB)

Claysando Ardash tried to begin his new life in the newly independent Sandy Clay Commonwealth (SCC) as a beggar, but overestimated the wealth of the nation and later that month, began his next career as a roadside preacher. Preachers and prophets were a common sight on the roads of Sunbell, but Claysando stood out as he did not claim to have been spoken to by the gods nor did he demand payment; he preached about his own histories about how the Sandy Clay people were betrayed by King of Clayistan Dervot IV and how, in order to prosper, they must leave the Soil Union and forge their own future. In M9 397 ASB, Claysando began to travel and preach in other cities around the SCC.

By 398 ASB, Claysando had traveled to nineteen cities within the SCC. He no longer needed to move to preach his beliefs; people came to hear what he had to say from over the nation. On M9-19 of that year, Claysando was approached by politician Sash Caroach and asked to act as the head the Independence Party in the election that had been called earlier that year. He accepted the offer and by M3-05 399 ASB, the Independence Party had won a majority government.

### Prime Minister of Sandy Clay (399 ASB - 429 ASB)

The first year of Claysando's tenure was uneventful due to interference from the Soil Union. Two days following Clayistan's exodus from the Soil Union on M4-27 400 ASB, He declared the SCC independent from the Soil Union and applied to join the newly formed League of Soils. The Soil Union attempted to block this action but backed down after the Clayistan National Army moved into the nation. On M6-18 400 ASB, Claysando attended the Sandy Clay-League ascension meeting. At the meeting, Dervot IV proposed that if the SCC were to join the League of Soils, the southern half should be administered by Clayistan for defense purposes. Claysando made a separate proposal where the southern quarter of the SCC would be administered by the League of Soils for defense purposes. This second proposal was accepted. It was also decided at the meeting that the League of Soils would need an army distinct from the Clayistan National Army and so the League of Soils Army was founded. and the SCC officially joined the League of Soils two days later. On M7-04 401 ASB in a radio meeting with Dervot IV Claysando Ardash approved the ascension of a South Estuarian state into the League of Soils.

On M5-14 403 Ardash attended a meeting with North Fleet Captain George Twinton, Dervot IV and his son Hugo Heord to establish that Hugo Heord was alive, Claysando noticed that the two Heords were not on the best of terms with each other.

In M2 404 ASB, Claysando began using the centralization of the Soil Union as a reason as to why the Independence Party was still a necessity and on M3-05 404 ASB, the Independence Party won their second majority government. On M1-20 406 ASB Ardash visited the Clayistan embassy where he had a nice chat with Hugo Heord who was the new chief Clayistan ambassador and found that he much like himself was not the biggest the biggest fan of Clayistan's policies, Ardash would go on to become good friends with Hugo Heord. On M7-22 406 ASB Ardash married his childhood friend Jadis Barry, who at the time was working as a florist, she took the name Ardash. On M7-23 407 ASB, Claysando publicly criticized Dervot IV for annexing the Sandy Clay plots of Jerusoilum and incorporating them into Clayistan's Freedom City. After being pressured by Claysando and George Twinton, Dervot IV had Freedom City transferred from Clayistan administration to League of Soils administration. M8-26 408 ASB Claysando's wife gave birth to a son whom Claysando named Yusuf Ardash. On M2-29 409 ASB, Claysando announced the creation of a Sandy Clay Army, distinct from the League of Soils Army.

The Independence Party, led by Claysando, won their third majority government on M3-05 409 ASB. On M3-19 412 ASB Ardash appointed Jay Haney to serve as his new Communications Minister. On M5-09 413 ASB, Andrew Bich of the Reunification Party called out Claysando because his platform did not grant veterans of the Great Soil War the right to vote. Claysando responded to this criticism on four days later, when he stated that it would be "challenging to amend the constitution to allow that" and that he personally believed that "they do not deserve to be allowed to vote as they are the ones responsible for the current economic situation".

On M3-05 414 ASB, the Independence Party led by Claysando won their first minority government. On M9-08 414 ASB Jadis Ardash gave birth to Claysando's second son who she named Amaan Ardash. On M8-11 415 ASB after the discovery of the Precious Metals Continent Claysando ordered his generals to begin examining maps purchased from Clayistan for poorly defended locations on the Precious Metals Continent and on M10-18 415 ASB it was decided that the SCC would invade the island of Neort in the Independent Nation of Silver and on M10-24 415 ASB Claysando announced that the SCC would be pursuing objectives on the Precious Metals Continent independent of those of the League of Soils. On M5-05 417 ASB Claysando launched an invasion of the island of Neort, the island was fully occupied on M5-27 417 ASB.

On M6-15 417 ASB Claysando called a snap election due to successful invasion of Neort, the election was held on M7-07 417 ASB where the Independence party led by Claysando won their forth majority government. On M7-10 417 George Twinton, Captain of the North Fleet banned the importation of Sandy Clay goods and services due to their occupation of Neort. On M7-11 417 in response to the North Feet's product and service ban Claysando put forward a bill that would ban the importation all goods and services originating from the North Fleet banned, the law was put into effect on M7-16 417. On M1-22 418 ASB Claysando leased several acres of land in the Province of Estuaria in Clayistan for artillery testing. On M2-19 421 ASB Claysando denied a request from Clayistan to send aid to the Empire of Red in the Red Civil War. On M6-28 422 ASB Claysando received a message from the North Fleet that stated that further action in the Silver Archipelago would result in North Fleet intervention, Claysando read this message out to the people of the SCC in a public broadcast on M7-02 422 ASB.

On M7-07 422 ASB the Independence Party led by Claysando won their fifth majority government. On M9-15 422 ASB the Island of Neort was taken back by the Independent Nation of Silver, Claysando declared later that day that they would promptly take back the island, the SCC was subsequently blockaded by the North Fleet on M9-18 422. On M9-19 422 ASB Claysando II ordered a shell to be fired from his leased portion of the Province of Estuaria with the intent to strike the garrison in Maricis, Captain George Twinton of the North Fleet was killed by the shell. The blockade of the SCC was lifted on M9-21 422 to aid in the transfer of power in the North Fleet, Claysando's first action following this took place on M9-22 422 ASB when he put forward a bill that would repeal the law that banned goods and services from the North Fleet which entered into effect on M9-27 422 ASB, Captain Steward Smart of the North Fleet in response to this lifted the ban on goods and services from the SCC on M9-28 422 ASB. On M7-29 426 ASB records were discovered in a hidden room in one of Claysius IV's manors that listed Claysando Ardash as a bastard son of Claysius IV, on M8-02 426 the discovery of these records were publicly announced but their contents were kept secret under the orders of Claysando.

On M7-07 427 ASB the Independence Party led by Claysando won their second minority government. On M10-28 428 ASB Claysando officially announced that the country had been fully remilitarized.

### War of Heordian Deposition (429 ASB - 437 ASB)

On M1-25 429 ASB Claysando sent a letter to Dervot IV in Ceramica, containing a copy of the records that were discovered on M7-29 426 ASB, and a demand for Dervot IV to step down as king and allow Claysando to ascend to the throne, he informed Hugo Heord of his noble origin the next day. By M3-07 429 ASB Dervot IV had not responded to Claysando's demands and on that day Claysando heard of voice in his head demanding that Claysando move against Dervot IV and take the throne, Claysando identified this voice as Aroosh, the god of Sandy Clays and declared himself the King Claysando II of Clayistan and the SCC and declared war on Dervot IV begging the War of Heordian Deposition, he also had the Clayistan Embassy staff arrested and the embassy itself bugged, he had Hugo Heord released the following day. On M3-17 429 ASB Claysando II appealed to the League of Soils to send him aid in the civil war. On M3-18 429 ASB Claysando II was contacted Emir Sou I of the Loamy Sand Emirate and made a secret agreement to invade and divide the Sandy State, Claysando agreed to this as he knew of the supplies stored in the northern Sandy State would be a great help to his nation and he also believed that the Sandy State would focus less on defending it's norther border and would instead prioritize defending it's more important regions in the south. On M3-18 429 ASB the North Fleet declared Claysando's invasion of Clayistan illegal and began sending aid to Dervot IV, and on the same day the Empire of Red, Redpublic and Loamy Sand Emirate declared their neutrality in the conflict. As the war progressed many Clayistan vassals began to align themselves with Claysando II.

Sou I launched his invasion of the Sandy State on M2-13 430 ASB, Claysando launched his invasion the day after on on M2-14 430 ASB, Claysando II played off his invasion as coming to the aid of Sou I.

On M7-23 431 ASB Claysando II's forces begin laying siege to Dervot IV's capital Ceramica, on M8-18 431 ASB an army three times the size of all Claysando II's forces had amassed and was travelling towards Ceramica and would, Claysando was told by the voice in his head who he assumed was Aroosh not to withdraw his troops from Ceramica as they would be victorious. on M8-21 431 ASB Dervot IV and a group of his high ranking officials flee the city in several balloon which caused his relief army to slow down and begin to disintegrate, the city was captured by Claysando II on M8-24 431 ASB, Dervot IV left the Soil Texture Continent on M8-26 431 ASB causing what was left of the relief army to either return to their homes or defect to Claysando II's cause. On M9-06 431 ASB Claysando II was advised by members of his political party to enter peace talks with Duke Purplius II, the newly appointed regent of Clayistan, Claysando II refused to enter into negotiations with him.

On M11-27 433 ASB during a conversation with the SCC's Minister of Science Chester Comb the topic of Comb's plan to take on a student to teach about his studies and duties, Claysando II recommended that he take on the son of his friend Hugo Heord Evan Heord who had been studying a wide range of sciences since 427 ASB, Comb was reluctant at first given that Evan Heord was the grandson of Dervot IV but Claysando II assured him that Evan had nothing in common with his grandfather and that he had never even met him, in reality Claysando II did not know if any of this was true or not. Evan Heord was chosen to study under Chester Comb on M11-29 433 ASB.

On M1-13 434 ASB Claysando II's forces capture the city of Elmhurst, the last pro-Dervot region in mainland Clayistan and on M1-15 344 ASB the Province of Estuaria recognized Claysando II as the king of Clayistan. Claysando II launched an invasion of the Purple Isles on M2-24 344 ASB. On M10-02 434 ASB Purplius II's minister of security Paulo Moody informed Claysando II that that Purplius II intended to flee to the Precious Metals Continent, on M10-03 434 ASB Claysando II hired an assassin to kill Purplius II as he feared that Purplius was attempting to convince his allies on the Precious Metals Continent to intervene in the War of Heordian Deposition. On M10-05 434 ASB Purplius II was assassinated in a boat explosion. The last pro-Dervot IV forces surrendered to Claysando II on M1-19 435 ASB. On M1-20 435 ASB Claysando II informed Hugo Heord that the War of Heordian Deposition was over, he offered Hugo a similar position in service to himself, Hugo declined in favour of retirement.

On M1-21 435 ASB Claysando II and his lesser ministers left the parliament building in Sunbell four hours early for a meeting in Terracotta City to discuss whether or not to declare war on the Empire of Shale, half an our after leaving Claysando II was informed over radio that the parliament building had been attacked and defended successfully however he was still instructed to get to safety as quickly as possible, Claysando II ignored these instructions and ordered his driver to return him to the parliament building so he could see the aftermath of the attack for himself. Claysando II saw that the parliament building had been essentially destroyed, the lead soldier informed Claysando II that that a high powered piece of artillery in on a nearby rooftop had been used to destroy the building and that the attackers had been from the Empire of Shale, Claysando II ordered the soldier to drive to Terracotta City and give the army leaders there his declaration of war against the Empire of Shale, before the soldier left he informed Claysando II that a hole had been discovered beneath the parliament building. Claysando II considered that the Empire of Shale might have destroyed the parliament building to get into the hole but was unwilling to send any of the soldiers into the hole and risk the destruction of whatever was down there, so he decided to have himself and his thirteen ministers repel themselves to the bottom of the hole. Claysando II and his ministers discovered three rooms at the bottom of the hole; a medieval armoury, a living room and a chamber that appeared to be designed for holding a prisoner. The group discovered on the floor of living room the an unconscious man who had fallen over and hit his head when the parliament building was attacked, he was identified by the Minister of Health and Welfare Doctor Samuel Welkon as a Shale who was then ordered by Claysando II to keep him alive but sedated. Several pieces of technology were discovered in the chamber the most prominent being a large disc of wires bound by metal rods, with some sort of apparatus designed for automatically injecting medical syringes laying nearby, the Minister of Science Chester Comb noted the similarities between the disc here and another disc that he studied on Tannhure the previous year. The group fashioned a carrier out of the cushions on the couch in the living room and ascended to the surface with the unconscious Shale man, once on the surface returned their vehicles and drove to Terracotta City left their vehicles and hired a series of taxis to take them and the unconscious Shale to the port town of Sheraton where they hired a boat to the newly occupied Tannhure which arrived at it's destination on M2-03 435 ASB. Claysando II had the Shale attached to the disc and walked over to what he assumed was the control panel which had three switches on it labeled; power, local and army, he flicked the switch labeled power and the Shale man awoke and demanded to know where he was, Claysando recognized the voice as the voice in his head who he assumed had been his god and as he recognized it the voice returned demanding that he turn the power off, Claysando did not obey and turned on the other switches and the voice vanished. Claysando II remained at the facility on Tannhure with at least one of his ministers at any given time for nearly the entire remainder of the Shale Invasion studying the disc along with the other bits of strange technology and the man who they would later discover was Zancrenius, Emperor of Shale, the imprisonment of the Emperor of Shale was known only to Claysando II and his thirteen ministers.

On M5-12 436 ASB Claysando II attended a radio conference along with Sou II and Skellard Moaruit and a representative from the United Peoples of Carbbonia to organize a proper conference to decide the future of the Post-Shale Invasion world, Sou II initially proposed that the conference be held at New Berloam, Moaruit rejected this proposal citing that the town was little more than a refugee camp cum military outpost. The UPC representative recommended that the conference be held on the Carbon Continent, Claysando II rejected this proposal citing his distrust of the UPC and went as far as to question their allegiances during the invasion. Claysando II proposed that the conference be held in Sunbell citing it's historical significance and it having survived the invasion almost fully untouched, Sou II rejected this proposal citing Claysando II's lack of involvement in the shale invasion having only joined during it's last year, Claysando II retorted this by pointing out that Sou II's country had betrayed the Soil Texture Continent and joined the Shale Empire only betraying them after Clayistan and the SCC had entered the war, Moaruit agreed with this and said that they would have the conference at Sunbell with or without Sou II.

The Sunbell Conference began on M6-14 436 ASB. The first thing discussed during the conference was what to do with the Silt Loam region, Jedediah William Sloam the president of the self declared Silt Loam Republic stated that he would not accept anything less than the total independence and recognition of the Silt Loam Republic, the Unspeakable Horror accepted these demands on the condition that he be given sizable internal holding to rule as his own, Loamo I declared that he would not recognize the independence of the Silt Loam Republic, Claysando II stated that if the Loaman Empire did not recognize the Silt Loam Republic he would be forced to guarantee the Silt Loam Republic's independence, Loamo I conceded. One of the things discussed during the conference was how to restructure Clayistan and the SCC now that the Prime Minister of the SCC was also the King of Clayistan, Claysando II told the conference that he intended to annex the SCC back into Clayistan, Jedediah Sloam pointed out that this would give Clayistan and Claysando II in particular a ridiculous amount of power when compared to the rest of the Continent, Claysando II offered to limit his power by having the soon to be former ministers the SCC become permanent advisors in Clayistan with the ability to vote down any action of Claysando II's, Jedediah Sloam reluctantly agreed to this. During the discussion as to the future of the Sandy State Claysando II suggested splitting the country into a Sandy Loam region and a Sandy Loam region and for these regions to be given to the Loaman Empire and Clayistan as mandates respectively, Loamo I argued that due to the independence of the Silt Loam Republic the Loaman Empire should be allowed to annex the Sandy Loam region this was agreed upon by all present save for Sou II who brought up that Claysando II had agreed to partition the Sandy State between the two of them, Claysando II claimed that such an agreement never occurred and that he only invaded the Sandy State to help his ally through the League of Soils. Jedediah Sloam proposed the creation of an Anti-Shale Pact or ASP for short to manage any future disputes involving Shale, he suggested that all of the compass join the ASP but only those with significant influence on and off the Compass be given decision making power, the countries chosen to by Jedediah Sloam to lead the ASP were Clayistan, the Republic of Silty Clay Loam, the Sand Republic, the Silt Fleet and the Silt Loam Republic, the list was eventually changed at the conference to Clayistan, the Loaman Empire The Silt Fleet and the Silt Loam Republic. On M1-22 Claysando II met with LSA general Dreego Sage and told him of his intent to have Clayistan withdraw from the League of Soils. He asked Sage to re-join the CNA at the rank of general, Sage agreed.

The Sunbell Conference concluded on M2-11 437 ASB with the signing of several treaties, Claysando II ceased to be the King of the SCC and an absolute monarch with a significant portion of his power being given to the newly created Council of Thirteen. Claysando II also turned the Terracotta Palace into his official place of residence.

### The sole King of Clayistan (437 ASB - 445 ASB)

On M3-13 437 ASB Claysando II traveled back to the facility on Tannhure where the Emperor of Shale was held. Once he was at the facility he struck a deal with the Emperor of Shale; The Emperor of Shale was a allowed to continue telepathically running the Empire of Shale but he was at the mercy of Claysando II and would have to follow his orders when called upon, his first order being to create a never ending war on the Gravel Continent, Claysando II believed that if the continent was too busy fighting the Empire of Shale they would have no time to threaten his own rule. Claysando II soon discovered that there were some things that the Emperor of Shale would not give him such as how to construct the Strike Cannon that was used to destroy the city of San Palaguas. On M4-09 438 ASB a vault was discovered under the facility at Tannhure by his former Industry Minister Steven Shrelkon, the vault contained several sealed containment units that were assumed to contain it's inhabitants Claysando II made sure not to have them opened, the most notable thing discovered were documents detailing how to construct nearly every piece of Shale technology, Claysando II then began his quest to construct a strike cannon.

Claysando II discovered on M8-22 438 ASB that several pieces of a long destroyed strike cannon were being located within the old bridge of Adapool, Claysando II purchased the entire bridge from Lieutenant Silt on M9-04 438 ASB and ordered it to be shipped to Clayistan. Claysando II believed that there could be other fragments of this strike canon scattered across the continent and on M9-06 438 ASB he sold Roslund University and used the money to purchase a fleet of trawlers to comb the see for it's remains. On M10-19 Claysando II leased out his fleet of trawlers to a group of Silt's for a full year on the condition that they give to him any relics that they find.

On M3-11 439 ASB Claysando II learned that another piece of the destroyed strike cannon was being used as a statue in the city of Timeworm within the Loaman Empire's newly reacquired Sandy Loam territory. Two days later he learned that the Chains of Loam, a Loaman holy relic housed in the city of Alturab was a piece of the destroyed Strike Cannon. On M3-19 439 ASB Claysando II acquired the Timeworm statue via signing a defensive treaty with the County of Timeworm's count Wali nke Timeworm in addition to sending several laborers there. On M6-01 439 ASB Claysando II using the Terracotta City catacombs hired Peaty Kask to steal the Chains of Loam for him.

On M8-05 439 ASB Claysando II attended a meeting in the ballroom of the Terracotta Palace with his former Minister of Labour and current Council of Thirteen member Umar Quinn over Quinn's plan to restore the Sandy Clay Autonomous Region. About halfway through the meeting the glass above the ballroom was shot out by eighteen gunmen who then began firing into the ballroom with lever action weaponry, Claysando II watched Quinn get shot in the back as the firing began he then ran for the door and began looking for the Clayistan Royal Guard (CRG) who he found quickly as they were already on their way to the ballroom. Later that day Claysando II was informed by the CRG that twenty-six Clayistani had been killed and the Quinn was not among them though he was heavily wounded in the attack, he was also told that the CRG had killed nine of the attackers and captured five, the five they had captured had refused to speak of there who hired them but that the four who they let escape would lead them to whoever had hired them.

Peaty Kask successfully stole the Chains of Loam for Claysando II on M8-12 439 ASB.

On M8-27 439 ASB the CRG informed Claysando II that the attempt on his life earlier that month that had killed twenty-six and left Umar Quinn unable to walk most likely originated from the former Emir of the Loamy Sand Emirate Sou II who following his abdication had been living in the Federal Republic of Greissen, that day he wrote a letter to their president asking for something to be done.

On M1-20 440 ASB after trying in vain to find a proper diplomatic solution to the Clay-Red Dispute Claysando II commissioned the creation of a border wall on the Clayistan-Empire of Red Border which was completed on M2-22 440 ASB. On M4-10 440 ASB Claysando II announced the dissolution of the vassal armies and their absorption into the Clayistan National Army (CNA), he cited the rising tensions with the Empire of Red as justification for the move. Claysando decided that if a war with the Empire of Red was to be fought he would need all of his forces contributing to the war and couldn't afford to have them busy defending the Sandy Clay Loam Mandate, he decided that he would grant the region independence a few years early to lighten the load on the CNA. Claysando II was unsure of who to place in charge of the new country as he didn't want to give any of his vassals an edge over the others. Claysando II learned that his grandfather Claymore III had another grandson, a bastard named Daniel Horiano living in the city of Vetchinia. Claysando II met with Daniel Horiano in Vetchinia on M4-14 440 ASB and offered him the title of King of Sandy Clay Loam, he accepted and the two traveled back to Terracotta City where Daniel Horiano was to be briefly trained before being placed in control of the country. The Kingdom of Sandy Clay Loam was restored on M5-07 440 ASB with Daniel Horiano becoming king under the regnal name Daniel I and had the House of Horiano created for him.

On M5-10 440 ASB Zhangtong under the command of Governor Small entered into a political standoff with Greissen over alleged human rights abuses on Zhangtong, Claysando II ordered whatever ships were nearby to monitor the standoff which amounted to a monitoring force of one destroyer and one-hundred-fourteen trawlers. On M5-20 440 ASB the First Silt Loam Civil War broke out between the Silt Loam Republic and the Unspeakable Domain, only four days after the conflicts start Claysando II ordered his forces to occupy Sloam Island off the coast of Clayistria until the end of the civil war. On M6-12 440 ASB during the Zhangtong-Greissen Crisis several shots were fired by the Greissen fleet, the Zhangtong fleet then began drifting out to sea, Claysando II initially ordered the drifting fleet to be monitored but after being informed of the ships had begun to beach themselves he sent a second order for the Trawlers to attempt to latch onto one of the drifting cruisers and bring it back to Clayistan. The ship taken from Zhangtong was later identified as the ZT Divillia on M8-02 440 ASB under the orders of Claysando II entered into the Clayistan Navy as the CSV Zhangtong. The Clayistan Strike Cannon was completed in Terracotta City on M8-27 440 ASB.

On M2-22 441 ASB on the one year anniversary of the completion of the Clayistan-Empire of Red border wall the Empire of Red blew down a portion of the wall and invaded, Claysando II ordered the Magnare garrison to push the invaders out of Clayistan, which they did surprisingly easily it was only on M2-24 441 ASB that Claysando II's forces saw the Empire of Red's invasion fleet traveling south. The Empire of Red arrived on the shores of Clayistan on M4-02 441 ASB, a ceasefire was agreed upon by Claysando II and Octracio III on M7-02 441 ASB following threats of Redpublic and Republic of Silty Clay Loam intervention.

On M8-11 441 ASB Jay Haney met with Claysando II and attempted to convince him to declare his second born son General Amaan Ardash heir to the Kingdom of Clayistan. Haney brought up that Amaan both a war hero and a brilliant tactician which Claysando II's oldest son Yusuf Ardash was not. Claysando II told Haney that he would think about what he told him but had no real intention to change his line of succession.

The treaty officializing the end of the Clay-Red War was signed on M8-19 443 ASB with Clayistan being given Pragornia.

In early 445 ASB Claysando II noticed that he had acquired a bad cough, this did not stop him from doing his duties as King of Clayistan. On M1-18 445 ASB Claysando II signed a trade deal with the son of Dervot IV Chunky Heord who was now the owner of a large military equipment factory to sell only to Clayistan, in exchange he gave Heord a large tract of land to build a railway on and made him the Governor of Fort Comb. Claysando II had his lungs checked out by Doctor Samuel Welkon on M1-28 445 ASB, who concluded that he had tumors in both of his lungs, Welkon told Claysando that there was not much that could be done to save him and that he didn't have much longer left to live. Claysando II spent much of his remaining time planning his own funeral. Claysando II had the Kingdom of Clayistan take part in the United Invasion of the United Peoples of Carbbonia which began on M2-05 445 ASB though Claysando II did not attend himself due to his condition. The United Invasion of the United Peoples of Carbbonia ended on M5-25 445 ASB with the Kingdom of Clayistan now occupying a large piece of land in the south-west of the Soil Texture Continent. Claysando II succumbed to his illness on M10-08 445 ASB.
