Three days later the kings of the three countries met in the city of Roti to come up with a way to deal with the attacking East Loaman Empire. During the meeting it was decided that the only way to properly deter future Loaman Empire successor states was to form a Clay Loam Confederation. It was quickly decided that the Clay Loam Confederation's military would be led by three field marshals, each appointed by one of the three kingdoms they would then choose a supreme commander from amongst themselves per conflict.
