## Biography

### Early life (409 ASB - 434 ASB)

Sou II (born Vikesh Piershoe) was born M1-13 409 ASB in Berloam to Sou Piershoe and his mistress. Sou Piershoe who was the head of the now landless Piershoe dynasty.

On M6-06 426 ASB, whilst Vikesh and his father Sou were living in Abeheit, Sou announced the creation of the Loamy Sand Emirate which would be led by himself as Emir Sou I. Additionally, he announced the Loamy Sand Emirate's independence from the Sandy State and Soil Union and later that year, the two moved back to Berloam as he had declared it the Loamy Sand Emirate's new capital.

Starting in M4 430 ASB, Vikesh traveled with his father, who led the Loamy Sand Army against the Empire of Shale and eventually had his nation join forces with the Empire on M3-26 434 ASB. He continued traveling with his father until he was assassinated on M8-29 434 ASB, which resulted in Vikesh being declared the Emir of the Loamy Sand Emirate as Sou II.

### Emir of Loamy Sand (434 ASB - 437 ASB)

On the day that he was declared, Emir Sou II was presented by his father's advisor, Morgan Wheeler, a series of sealed envelopes which he was informed contained his father's plans for various disasters that might occur within the nation. Unlike his father, Sou II did not wish lead his troops on the battlefield and made plans to return to Berloam, which at the time was occupied by the Empire of Shale. In M9 434 ASB, Sou II was informed by his Shale allies that he was unable to return to Berloam at that moment but would instead be allowed to rule from the Crimson Palace in the city of Crenothia (formerly Loamduvica) Sou II accepted the offer and arrived there later that month.

By M1-20 436 ASB, Clayistan had begun construction of a large camp outside of Crenothia and Sou II believed that an attack on the city would occur if the Empire of Shale did not reinforce Crenothia or destroy Clayistan's camp. On M1-22 436 ASB Sou II was informed by Calum Brandt, who was one of the last Empire of Shale officials remaining in the city, that the the Loaman Empire's army had cut off their reinforcements and of his intention to take whatever forces he could gather and push west. Sou II returned to his quarters and thumbed through his father's envelopes of plans until he found one labeled "Allies losing your war" he opened the envelope which in short told him that he needed to betray his allies in such a way as to convince his enemies that he was worthy of joining them. On M1-26 436 ASB Sou II orchestrated a revolt among the Loam populace of Crenothia with the aid of the few Loamy Sand Emirate soldiers who were in the city, the revolt was successful and Sou II renounced the Loamy Sand Emirates association with the Empire of Shale and assured his commitment to their defeat, he met with the leader of the Clayistan camp, Martin Brooks who decided that it would be best to accept the Loamy Sand Emirates change of heart on the condition that Sou II travel exclusively with his forces. On M4-08 436 ASB Sou II was informed by Brooks that the floating nation of Regolithia had crashed into the Loamy Sand Emirate destroying the majority of life in the region. The day after the fall of Regolithia Sou II opened one of his father's letters title "Homeland destroyed" the letter told Sou II that he must create a new homeland for his people and later that day he had his remaining soldiers that were with him head out with letters to be delivered to his other soldiers telling them to go west to construct a new homeland for themselves. Sou II was permitted by Brooks to go to his new homeland only a week after he had commissioned it's creation, he named the small town that his new homeland was New Berloam.

On M6-14 436 ASB Sou II attended the Sunbell Conference which saw his country stripped of it's new capital and placed under the watch of the newly established Anti-Shale Pact, the nation would be repopulated by the many Loamy Sand prisoners of war that the other countries had. The Sunbell Conference concluded on M2-11 437 ASB with all of the treaties signed entering into effect on that date.

Following the Sunbell Conference Sou II lived in Town 4, which was one of twelve towns established by the Sunbell treaty to help repopulate the Loamy Sand Emirate, Town 4 was designated as both a fishing town and the new capital of the Loamy Sand Emirate. Many of those in Town 4 blamed Sou II and his family for the current situation that their country was in and on M3-04 437 ASB rioters attempted to storm the building that Sou II was using as an office, though they were repelled Sou II decided that being the Emir was far too dangerous for him and began looking into a successor. On M3-08 437 ASB Sou II invited Aleks Vanja who was one of the soldiers that Sou II had brought with him to the Sunbell Conference to his office in Town 4, when he arrived Sou II handed him his father's box of envelopes and abdicated in favour of him, before Sou II left the building he told Vanja that all he needed to rule was in those envelopes.

### Later life (437 ASB - Present)

Sou II left his office with twenty of his most loyal soldiers including Swaine Day and made their way to Town 4's dock where they took the boat of Day and boated a ways off the coast, Sou II then had Day plot a course for the island of Greissen where Sou II believed he could start a new life for himself.

Sou II found himself unhappy on Greissen as though many people on the island knew of him none actually liked him with many considering him to be the opportunistic son of a traitor, On M2-05 438 ASB Sou II decided that he needed to start changing the way people thought of him and began having his followers secretly kill those that spoke ill of him. On M7-15 338 ASB Sou II devised a plan to have Claysando II, the man who he considered to be responsible for his current position assassinated, he sent all of his eighteen followers out to accomplish the task which involved both carrying out the assassination and planning it.

Six of Sou II followers returned to him on M8-22 438 ASB and reported their failure to assassinate Claysando II and the loss of twelve of their group.
