## Biography

### Early Life (380 ASB - 420 ASB)

Sou I (born Sou Piershoe) was born on M1-03 380 ASB in Abeheit to Fatima Lynch and Frederick III who had previously been the Emir of the Berloam Emirate before it's incorporation into the Sandy State. On M4-15 402 ASB, Frederick III's colon fatally ruptured, making Sou the head of the Piershoe Dynasty. Following his father's death, Sou got into politics and joined the Party for Peace and Prosperity. On M1-13 409 ASB, Sou's mistress gave birth to a son named Vikesh Piershoe.

### Governor of Abeheit (420 ASB - 426 ASB)

A week after the governor of the Abeheit District, Daisy York, left for the Empire of Red to train rebels, Piershoe was appointed to serve in her place.

On M9-21 421 ASB, Piershoe met with Morgan Wheeler, the governor of the Berloam District. Wheeler told Piershoe that if he were to to declare a new Emirate but for all of the traditionally Loamy Sand territory that he would aid in defense against Soil Union and Sandy State retaliation, Following the meeting, Piershoe spent many nights drafting up plans on how his nation would survive a war against the Soil Union. On M6-01 426 ASB, ten days after several feudal rulers within the Loaman Empire invaded the South Fleet, Piershoe declared the independence of the Loamy Sand Emirate with a speech viewed by the Abeheit and Berloam Districts. He chose his regal name, Emir Sou I.

### Conflict with the Soil Union (426 ASB - 429 ASB)

On the day of his ascension to Emir, Sou I ordered the creation of an army for the newly independent Loamy Sand Emirate and ordered it to the eastern border the following day. When his army arrived, Sou I, following the guide he had written prior, sent a plea to the League of Soils asking for their aid in at least half a year. Sou I then turned his attention as to how to hold out against the Soil Union until the arrival of aid. On M6-13 426 ASB, the League of Soils much to the surprise of Sou I arrived in the Loamy Sand Emirate, a ceasefire ending the war with the Soil Union was called later that day. On M7-23 426 ASB Sou I agreed to have his country ascend into the League of Soils following a League of Soils vote on the issue, following this Sou I, believing his country's sovereignty to have stabilized had his plans sealed into envelopes, labeled, placed in a box and given to Morgan Wheeler who he told to give them to Sou I's successor.

On M11-24 426 ASB Sou I moved the capital of the Loamy Sand Emirate to his family's home city of Berloam, where he also appointed Morgan Wheeler to serve as his official head advisor, that same day he announced the creation of a new currency for his nation, the Loamy Sand Dinar.

### Shale Invasion and War of Heordian Deposition (429 ASB - 434 ASB)

On M3-07 429 ASB the War of Heordian Deposition began, Sou I initially declared his country's neutrality in the war, however he soon came to believe that he could exploit the war for the good of his country and on M3-18 429 ASB made a deal with Claysando II so that when he invades the Sandy State Claysando II would also launch their own invasion.

On M2-12 430 ASB Sou I informed Claysando II over radio that he was preparing to launch his invasion of the Sandy State, which he did the following day and was followed by Claysando II's invasion the day after. The same day that Claysando II invaded the Sandy State from the north the Unspeakable Horror, who at the time was the Governor of Piedmont, attacked and then occupied the city of Berloam, before his palace was breached Sou I ordered his forces to hold whatever ground they were on at the time. On M4-05 430 ASB whilst Sou I was still locked in the city of Berloam negotiating with the Unspeakable Horror the Empire of Shale invaded from the west, Sou I and the Unspeakable Horror struck up an agreement only two days later which gave the Loamy Sand Emirate the southern half of the Sandy State in exchange for the Unspeakable Horror being declared the co-Emir of the Loamy Sand Emirate, Sou I then began leading his armies against the Empire of Shale.

On M2-27 433 ASB Sou I and the squad that he was traveling with captured a communications station and restored radio contact with the eastern member states of the Soil Union, Sou I contacted all of the major leaders of the Soil Texture Continent as well as the Lava Empire and Regolithia and asked to form an Anti-Shale Coalition to fight against the Empire of Shale but with a unified head leading it, most agreed that it was necessary save for the two Clayistan factions who were preoccupied with a civil war, the Anti-Shale Coalition began officially on M3-09 433 ASB with Sou I serving as it's head.

During his time as the leader of the Anti-Shale Coalition Sou I commanded all of the armies of it's members and spent a significant amount of time splitting up the army's so that they were as diverse as possible, save for his own armies that he kept as he assembled them, he had his own soldier's occupy the liberated land whereas those of the other nations were sent out to the front lines, he did this as he intended to keep much of the land once the war was over. The rest of the Anti-Shale Coalition eventually caught on to Sou I's ulterior motives and on M3-18 434 ASB took back control of their own forces and betrayed Sou I by invading the territory occupied by the forces of the Loamy Sand Emirate, the Unspeakable Horror split from the Loamy Sand Emirate merely two days later which prompted Sou I to send a message to the Empire of Shale offering their services to them, an offer which they accepted six days later. Sou I continued to lead his forces in the service of the Empire of Shale until he was shot in the head and killed by an Anti-Shale Coalition assassin whilst stopping in the town of Livando on M8-29 434 ASB.
