Argilla I died on M6-25 21 ASB and was replaced by his firstborn son and Raymond's uncle Victory Basil who took the regnal name Victory I.

On M2-05 31 ASB Raymond Basil warried a Clay woman named Kyra Gilbert who took the last name Basil.

On M3-22 31 ASB Victory I left Jarnvattan in a convoy for the palace of Count Usman Mosley of Ackanalund in the Kingdom of Clayistria he brought with him his wife Karen Basil, his son Hector Basil and the Chief Advisor of Clayistan Barchairi Splintle among others, Brett Basil was to be radioed daily of the convoy's progress as he would be the highest ranking capable member of House Basil in the country. Communications between Brett and the convoy stopped on M3-28 31 ASB, Brett traveled to Jarnvattan the next day, he left Raymond and his mother in charge of running the affairs of the County of Osilicat whilst he was gone. On M4-10 31 ASB it was discovered that that Victory I, along with his wife, son and the Chief Advisor had been ambushed killed.

On M4-16 31 ASB Brett Basil who was now the Kingdom of Clayistan's Regent had the majority of his court in Osilicat and a small portion of its garrison move to Jarnvattan to help administer the country as he was now its regent, Raymond Basil now without much of Osilicat's administrators asked his wife's family in the Duchy of Eastpike to loan him some of their administrators which they did. On M8-26 31 ASB through a series of events Brett Basil declared himself King of Clayistan as Claysius I, he was fully recognized by the Kingdom of Clayistan on M8-30 31 ASB. On M9-11 31 ASB Raymond Basil, who was by that point the the heir apparent of the Kingdom of Clayistan was made the regent of the newly created County of Essaria.

During M2 of 48 ASB Claysius I was preparing for a tour of all of the holdings within the Duchy of Iron Lake who had grown restless, on M2-18 48 ASB Claysius I was wounded in a dueling accident, Raymond Basil tried to convince his father to remain in Jarnvattan to be properly tended to, Claysius I insisted on going on the tour, the wound became infected leading to his death on M10-19 48 ASB. Five days later Raymond Basil became the King of Clayistan taking the Regnal name Argilla II.

### King of Clayistan (48 ASB - 85 ASB)

Upon becoming the King of Clayistan Argilla II ended his regency over the County of Essaria and allowed their count and his cousin Lorenzo Basil to take control.

On M12-30 52 ASB Argilla II's wife gave birth to a second son named Elmer Basil.

On M3-29 58 ASB the Kingdom of Clayistria aided the independent duchies of Roxa and Fioletovy into unifying into the Kingdom of Purpura, Argilla II believed that Clayistria had done this in preparation for an invasion of Clayistan and set about subtly expanding and improving the Unified Clayistan Army (UCA), Argilla II decided he would avoid telling his vassals of his plan to catch Clayistria off guard when the invasion did happen. Three days after the creation of the new Kingdom Argilla II's wife asked him what was to be done to curb the Clayistrian expansion, he lied and told her that he did not really believe that Clayistria was trying anything and that nothing would be done. On M6-10 58 ASB the Kingdom of Purpura invaded and captured the island of Cramryth which had been controlled by Clayistan's vassal the Duchy of Eastpike since M7-28 30 ASB. On the day of the invasion Argilla II's wife asked him what was to be done, he said that he would meet with her cousin the Duke of Eastpike to discuss the situation. On M8-04 58 ASB Argilla II met with the Duke of Eastpike Herman Gilbert to discuss the loss of Cramryth. Argilla II refused to send any aid to Eastpike citing that Cramryth had never been a part of the Kingdom of Clayistan and as such the Kingdom of Clayistan had no business partaking in a war against the Kingdom of Purpura he also forbid the Duchy of Eastpike from retaking Cramryth by themselves due to the potential of provoking a war with the Kingdom of Clayistria. Argilla II's real reasoning was that UCA was outmatched by Clayistria's army at the moment and needed time to grow. Later that day Mason Basil who had been living in Eastpike met with Argilla II in private and asked him why he was not taking action against the Kingdom of Purpura, Argilla II told him that he had no desire to fight any of the wars of his predecessors and that he was attempting to maintain peace at any cost. Argilla II arrived back in Jarnvattan on M8-09 58 ASB and was greeted by his wife who informed him that she was leaving Jarnvattan to live in Direton. Argilla II could not think of a lie to stop her from leaving but decided that once the truth was revealed she would return to Jarnvattan.

On M10-14 60 ASB Argilla II was informed that Gwacho Barl was retiring from active duty in the UCA. Barl had been a close friend and ally of Argilla II's father and he wanted to do something nice for the man but knew that he had made a small fortune during his service to the UCA. Two days later Argilla II created the Barony of Soneo and granted it to Barl.

On M10-27 66 ASB Argilla II's cousin Count Lorenzo Basil of Essaria declared the creation of the House of Cormorant and the County's independence from the Duchy of Iron Lake, Argilla II didn't want to deal with a potential war over the county and recognized the move, the day after Argilla II dissolved the County of Osilicat and replaced it with the Governate of Osilicat and made Elmer Basil its first governor.

Argilla II died on M2-27 85 ASB after eating some coconut.
