## Biography

### Early Life and Baron of Abamelote (400 ASB - 414 ASB)

Loamo III (born Farhan Hubbard) was born M2-19 400 ASB in the Loaman Empire's capital Loamduvica, he was the son of Baron Oliver Hubbard of Abamelote.

On M8-07 412 ASB Farhan Hubbard's father died after suffering a heart attack with Farhan Hubbard being declared the Baron of Abamelote the next day, normally a twelve year old being given a title with corresponding land within the Loaman Empire would have been met with some resistance from rivals, however the Barony of Abamelote was considered to be powerless due to being surrounded and run by the City of Loamduvica. During his time as the Baron of Abamelote Hubbard attended many of the parties in Loamsly III's palace hosted by his advisors. On M2-02 414 ASB Loamsly III disappeared from his palace, he was declared deceased by the regency council on M4-17 414 ASB, two days later Farhan Hubbard attended a meeting with the other feudal rulers of the Loaman Empire to decide upon the new Loaman Emperor and only a week after arriving it was decided that Farhan Hubbard would become the new Loaman Emperor as Loamo I.

### Rising Tensions (414 ASB - 429 ASB)

Loamo I during his first few years in power was educated by Peter Vinogradov, who was a well respected teacher of history and philosophy and a member of the regency council which was dissolved when Loamo I was declared, the day to day affairs of the empire were run by his predecessor's advisor Marsh Leon. On M2-19 419 ASB Loamo I's education concluded and he was given all the powers entailed to the Loaman Emperor.

The same day that he was granted the full powers of the Loaman Emperor Loamo I began expanding the influence of the imperial outposts spread throughout the empire by having vassals give them small sized swaths of land to run, he also granted the outposts severely increased autonomy, he placed people such as Leon and Vinogradov in charge of the affairs and management of the outposts. Three days after the establishment of the outpost requirements Loamo I began the construction of the New Imperial Loaman Navy to replace the old navy that was partly destroyed during the Sand War and partly sold for scrap during the Loam-Sand War, he believed that much as the outposts would spread his influence across his country the navy would spread his influence across the countries of others. On M4-08 419 ASB Loamo I hosted a meeting between himself and various Soil Union officials being led by the Unspeakable Horror, the representatives from the Soil Union claimed that Loam I's outposts and naval program were attempts to undermine the work of the Soil Union, Loamo I refused to acknowledge these claims as true. Three days after the start of Loamo I's meeting the Soil Union the Clay Loam Republic and Kingdom of Clay Loam which were internal parts of the Loaman Empire declared independence as the State of Clay Loam, Loamo I put his meeting with the Soil Union on hold and mobilized the his forces present in Loamduvica and set off northwards to put down the rebellion, the Unspeakable Horror also moved north with the small amount of Soil Union soldiers that he had brought with. On M4-26 419 ASB the last city held by the State of Clay Loam surrendered to the forces of Loamo I and the Soil Union, Loamo I's meeting with the Soil Union continued after that in the city of Ackanalund. Two days after his the meeting with the Soil Union began in Ackanalund Loamo I asked his old teacher Vinogradov over radio how he would resolve the situation, Vinogradov told Loamo I to give them something useless as compensation recommending that he promise him all of the intel gathered by his outposts, which is exactly what Loamo I did the next day.

On M8-25 422 ASB Loamo I married a man named Herman Porter who retained his last name.

### Shale Invasion (429 ASB - 437 ASB)

On M12-25 429 ASB the Sand Republic was invaded by the Empire of Shale on that same day Loamo I was told over radio by the Soil Union not to attempt to intervene as the Sand Republic had left the Soil Union in 419 ASB. On M2-12 430 ASB the Loaman Empire lost contact with the Sandy State which housed the leadership of the Soil Union, Loamo I did had himself grown tired of the Soil Union giving him orders and saw the communications blackout with them as a much needed break from their demands. The Empire of Shale invaded the Loman Empire on M8-23 431 ASB through the partially occupied North Fleet, Loamo I's response was to ready his armies and send the against the invaders, though he elected not to go himself as he wished to command from the well protected city of Loamduvica.

On M1-22 432 ASB the Empire of Shale breached the walls of Loamduvica and began swarming the city, learning of the breach Loamo I rushed out of his palace this his personal guard and made his way towards one of the canals that ran through the city where he commandeered a trade ship and had it's helmsmen steer the ship downstream out of the city, Loamo I ordered his royal guards into the bottom of the ship where he too went. As the ship approached the walls leading out of the city a shell fired by the Empire of Shale stuck it destroying the upper deck causing the remainder of the ship to fall apart, Loamo I and his guards then drifted downstream with the rubble of the ship. After a day of drifting Loamo I washed up on a river bank where he had his guards regroup and discovered that only thirty-six of his original eighty-nine guards were with him, he had the group travel to the nearest one of his outposts where he resumed control over the remaining forces of the Loaman Empire.

On M2-27 433 ASB whilst still fighting a losing war against the Empire of Shale Loamo I received a radio message from Emir Sou I of the Loamy Sand Emirate requesting that an anti-Shale coalition be formed with a united power centre for efficiency, the Anti-Shale Coalition formed on M3-09 433 ASB between the Lava Empire, Loamy Sand Emirate, Loaman Empire, North Fleet, Regolithia and the South Fleet with Sou I serving as it's head.

On M3-15 434 ASB Loamo I contacted all of the heads of the Anti-Shale Coalition members which now included Peater of Peat, save for Sou I. Loamo I claimed that Sou I had ulterior motives with the Anti-Shale Coalition and was using it to gain power for himself, he pointed out that none of their lands had been transferred back to them from Loamy Sand Emirate occupation after they had been liberated even though the Empire of Shale had been pushed back a fair degree and also that Sou I was shifting around the soldiers constantly as if to try and make them forget what army they belonged to, the leaders that Loamo I had contacted agreed with him and on M3-18 434 ASB they betrayed Sou I by invading his occupied areas of their land. Sou I joined the Empire of Shale eight days after his betrayal.

During 435 ASB the Empire of Shale made several pushes deep into the Loaman Empire and Loamo I was forced to go into hiding on M1-22 435 ASB in a wine cellar of a vineyard nearby the outpost that he was ruling from. Loamo I emerged from the wine cellar on M4-10 336 ASB after being informed that the war was on the verge of ending due to the fall of Regolithia two days prior.

Loamo I attended the Sunbell Conference which started on M6-16 436 ASB to determine the state of the Soil Texture Continent after the Shale Invasion, at the conference he was forced to cede vast portions of the eastern most Loaman Empire to the newly created Silt Loam Republic, in exchange for that his country was granted the southern half of the Sandy State. The Sunbell Conference concluded on M2-11 437 ASB with all treaties being signed into effect on that date.

### Declining sanity (437 ASB - Present)

On M5-03 440 ASB Loamo I created a son and heir whom he named "Loamo II" after himself, Loamo II was in reality not a son but a pile of dirt, urine and feces all mixed together, it was kept in a special terrarium to prevent it from drying out. Loamo I claimed that he was "sentient despite being made of dirt" and was created by using a "special object that disappeared".

On M2-08 442 ASB the United Peoples of Carbbonia (UPC) invaded the Loaman Empire through the parts of the Soil Texture Continent that they occupied to the west of it. Loamo I had his forces march out against the UPC and experienced high casualties due to Loamo I ignoring the tactical advise of his allies and advisors. On M2-15 442 ASB Loamo I began funneling military resources into the construction of a large zeppelin referred to by Loamo I when he commissioned it as the Armoured Sky Fortress (ASF) and a large military boat which Loamo I referred to as the Armoured Naval Fortress (ANF), he believed that these two 'innovations' would win him the war. On M6-10 442 ASB Loamo I suffered a devastating loss at a battle against the UPC, this upset Loamo I a great deal and only two days later boarded his partially completed ANF with his own personal guard and headed south to take the fight to the UPC despite not knowing where Carbbonia was even located.

The ANF carrying Loamo I managed to locate Carbbonia on M12-23 442 ASB, Loamo I ordered the ship to anchor outside of what he assumed was the harbour of the UPC's capital city and aim all of it's weapons at what he assumed was their capital building. Three days after anchoring Loamo I had one of the ANF's patrol boats head into the dock to deliver a letter asking if the city was part of the UPC, the city responded the following day with their own patrol boat and letter telling Loamo I that they were not the UPC, Loamo I then ordered his men to prepare themselves for their journey back to the Soil Texture Continent.

Loamo I aboard the ANF arrived back at the Soil Texture Continent on M7-16 443 ASB where he discovered that the Loaman Empire had collapsed whilst he was gone, Loam I docked at the city of Rood which was now a part of the Kingdom of Nnukwu Ala, he negotiated with the shipmaster there eventually managing to trade the ANF for several river boats for him and his personal guard, he left the ANF's crew with the ANF. Loamo I and his guards traveled upstream and arrived at Loamduvica on M7-22 443 ASB, the city was still under the control of Loamo I's regency council. Loamo I met with Peter Vinogradov, who had become the head of the regency council to ask him about the state of the empire, Vinogradov told him that the regency council only still had control over Loamduvica, the Duchy of Boneville and a small area in the south called Gradovland, he also told Loamo I that the regency council was extremely unpopular with the people due to recognizing an emperor who the people considered to be either mad or a traitor. In an attempt to prove his sanity Loamo I ordered his personal guard to kill the entire regency council, which they did. After having his regency council murdered Loamo I began to fall deeper into insanity often claiming that he had a civil war to win and formulating insane plans to personally assassinate the leaders of the different countries that emerged from the Loaman Empire. On M10-25 443 ASB Loamo I claimed over radio contact to several other leaders of countries that Loamduvica was under siege, describing in detail the shells being used to try and drive him out despite no conflict currently taking place in or around Loamduvica. On M11-04 443 ASB Loamo I signed a treaty with Loamsly V of the East Loaman Empire which recognized Loamduvica as an independent principality and in exchange the East Loaman Empire was given Gradovland recognized as the legitimate Loaman Empire, this treaty triggered the West Loaman Empire to attempt to invade Loamduvica and the East Loaman Empire, they faired poorly and ceased active hostilities on M1-26 444 ASB with the recognition of the Principality of Loamduvica, during the conflict Loamo I lost control of the Duchy of Boneville.

Following the acquisition of the title of Prince of Loamduvica Loamo I began planning how to regain control of the Loaman Empire, he eventually came to the conclusion that he needed to be more than a single emperor to do it and on M4-25 444 ASB Loamo I consumed Loamo II and declared himself Loamo III, he died three days later after defecating out most of his internal organs.
