### Unofficial advisor (4 ASB - 31 ASB)

On M4-17 4 ASB Maya Basil informed her father that she had no intention to marry into one of the various noble houses that populated Clayistan, and that she wanted to help her father manage the duchy. Her father agreed with his daughter's decision but did not make her an official advisor choosing to use her as an unofficial advisor.

On M6-27 12 ASB the Kingdom of Clayistria launched an invasion of both the Duchy of Eastpike and the Duchy of Iron Lake. The war with Clayistria lasted until M1-22 16 ASB with the negotiation of a ceasefire and on M5-28 16 ASB following over four months of deliberation all of the duchies of the Clayistan region came together to form the Kingdom of Clayistan with Ebony Basil as the first King of Clayistan, the agreement took into effect the next day with Ebony Basil taking the regnal named Argilla I.

Argilla I died M6-25 21 ASB and was succeeded by Maya's brother Victory I. Maya continued to serve the Kingdom of Clayistan under Victory I in an unofficial capacity.

On M3-22 31 ASB Victory I left Jarnvattan in a convoy for the Count of Ackanalund Usman Mosley's palace 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. Maya's brother Brett Basil was to be radioed daily of the convoy's progress as he would be the highest ranking capable member of the House of Basil in the country and would relay the communications to Jarnvattan where Maya was living. Communications between Brett and the convoy stopped on M3-28 31 ASB, the next day Brett traveled to Jarnvattan from Osilicat. On M4-10 31 ASB a single soldier from the convoy arrived at Jarnvattan. The soldier spoke with Brett in private. After the meeting Brett informed Maya that Victory I and his firstborn son Hector Basil had been killed and that he was now the Regent of Clayistan.

The next day Brett came to Maya and told her that the holy men had refused to declare Victory I's infant son Lorenzo Basil King of Clayistan, that the Dukes of Clayistan had also refused to recognize him as king and that the court in Jarnvattan refused to believe that Victory I was dead. Maya told her brother that she knew nothing of holy men and Dukes but she did know that within Victory I's court Barchairi Splintle was a powerful man and his son Evannaron Splintle was now viewed as the de facto leader of the court. Brett asked her whether or not he should have Evannaron expelled from the court. Maya warned Brett that Evannaron would use his removal as proof that he was trying to seize power and might try and insight a revolt within the court and that it was best to leave Evannaron in his position. Though he was not king as regent Brett Basil made his sister an official advisor to the King of Clayistan.

### Official Advisor (31 ASB)

On M4-16 31 ASB under Maya's advice Brett had the majority of his court in Osilicat move to Jarnvattan. He also had a small portion of his garrison in Osilicat move to Jarnvattan to help administer the country, he had his forces establish a small garrison just out of view of the palace in an abandoned warehouse.

In the early morning of M5-25 31 ASB Maya was awoken by a servant named Gwacho Barl. He told Maya that Evannaron had arrested Brett and was in the process of rounding up his supporters. Maya immediately left her room to confront Evannaron, Barl followed. Maya and Barl managed to find Splintle and his men who were escorting a large group of prisoners including Brett. Maya demanded that her brother be released when Splintle refused she moved closer to attempt to intimidate him and was shot and killed by one of Splintle's men.
