Description
Clarky Arbastor is an ancient gnome (the reason behind his extended lifespan is a side-effect of the McClarky curse, making him unable to escape from it.), wearing a blue robe, white shirt, blue trousers, and thick black boots. He still wears and maintains his crown, even though his days of being a monarch are long behind him. When Phoenia was going under reforms including trying to sell off Lutumshire prior to Clarky's declaration of independence, they changed from a monarchy (Which Clarky was in favor of) to a republic. Because of this, Clarky has an ill view of republics and other democratic systems, and is a large fan of monarchies and diarchies.

The following is Clarkies full title:

His Majesty Clarky Arbastor, Founder of Lutum, Guardian of Da Berry, Mad Gnome of Maddarak, Silly Billy, Eternal Emperor of Lutum, First King of Lutum, Sixth Diarch of Lutum, Seventh Oligarch of Lutum, Eighth Syovekai of Shurida, Mayor of Lutumshire, The Mad King of Lutum, Father of Lutum, Head of House Arbastor.

The Prequel
Clarky Arbastor was born and in the fields of what is now Lutum. As a young child, he enjoyed wandering around and exploring the forest, mountains and rivers of where Diregon is now. He over time formed a sibling rivalry against medium cat, his twin, who was all brawn and no brain (similar to Sepet). He met Reaper here, the man who he would one day marry as well as Un_Sabroso_Huevo, the man who would one day found Berrism. Here, he trained his mind by reading books on history, politics and warfare. He lived happily for years, until he got bored of living the simple life, and wanted to explore the huge world he had been reading about for so long. At the age of 25, he set off with his 2 friends and Medium Cat.

Clarky and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
They hiked many miles, through mountains, forest and deserts. They were forced at some points to fight of tribal settlements throughout their journey, but they powered through it, every time getting to the next civilized town. Eventually they realized they had ran out of money, and couldnt afford food and medical supplies at the towns. They decided to try to dig for gold. After digging a deep quarry, they still hadnt found a single piece of gold. They were only living on berries, and decided to try to live off cheese as well, which worked for a while. They eventually decided to resort to cannibalism. They set out to find the savage tribals dwelling within the surrounding forest, and stockpiled them. Howver, no matter how much they dug, they couldnt find any gold. They decided to try to brew alcohol afterward, but even that epic failed. They eventually decided the ground they were on had to be cursed, so they begun to head back to their homeland to reorganize for a couple months.

Clarky and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
As they were travelling over the sea back to their home on a ship they had hidden upon, a storm begun. The waves crashed into the ship over and over, the crew were panicing and running around. Clarky, Sabroso, Reaper and Medium cat emerged from their hiding spot and begun to run for a life boat. They escaped off the ship as it begun to sink, however, the waves were too big for the dingy to handle, causing the rowboat to be flung around for hours. They eventually made it back to a strange land they didnt recognize. It was Eldham still, for sure, but apart from that, they didnt recognize anything. It was a desert, the heat was beating down on them as they walked around searching for water. They wandered around for what felt like months, but finally, they found themselves at a city. Clarky looked around for help, while the others looked for food and water. Clarky eventually found a building owned by the "femboy mafia". He broke in and stole a map of the nearby land, as well as some scrumptious food. The femboy mafia found out and begun to hunt him down through the streets. Clarky was under heavy bow fire, but luckily founded the stables, stealing 4 horses and meeting up with the rest of the crew. They set off immediately.

Clarky and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip
The long adventure home begun. It turned out they were many many miles away from their homeland, but thanks to the erm.. Help they got at the village, they believed they could make it. They rode upon horses, until food begun to run low. It turned out, Medium Cat had been stealing the rations of everyone else. They decided that he could no longer be trusted, and tied him to a pole in the middle of the forest, leaving him for the wolves. This still didnt fix the problem of low food, so they were forced to eat their own horses and live off berries. They by some miracle finally made it back to their homeland where they held a funeral for Medium Cat.

Pre-Lutnam
He and his friends, 36reaper and Un_Sabroso_Huevo set off when Clarky got bored of his normal life, living at his gnome house. They ventured across the lands, searching for a way to make money because of his quite immense poverty. This cycle of being broke went on for a while until they stumbled upon Rabanshire (later known as Phoenia). Clarky had dreamed of being a noble mayor, and he knew this was his chance. He requested 5000 coins from the king, he used his newly given funds to establish a city in the middle of the desert which he called Lutumshire (Dirt land in latin). The fact Lutumshire was in a desert was an issue because deserts have no food. They were living off rations at this point, until Un_Sabroso_huevo had a vision from Da Berry himself, they were blessed with berries. They lived off of berries for a long time, eventually forming the religion of Berrism around it. After gaining a reputation of being the crazy berry lovers, they were informed of a forest, full of naturally growing berries. The entire town abandoned all their things and migrated to the new land, only bringing the essentials.. Such as berries. Clarky built the first house there, the community house, which would much later be removed and replaced with the cathedral of berrism. The town rapidly expanded now it wasnt in a desert. It eventually, however, fell into inactivity. The phoenians decided to sell the area Lutumshire was in. Clarky saw this as an opportunity to become independent, and acted outraged to gain independence. It worked. Lutumshire was now independent as the Holy Kingdom Of Lutum, Clarky was feeling amazing at this point. The nation expanded slowly but surely, this is when most of the important Lutumites joined. Clarky was feeling amazing, and the nation was growing rapidly.

Golden Age
There was probably a couple golden ages after this, but I saw this as the main one. The nation was expanding faster than Clarky could keep track of, and it even became larger than Phoenia at some points in this period. This is when Clarky was the most sane and most happy. It would, however, go downhill very quickly from here, because of the Phoenix Crisis

Phoenix Crisis
All his time and effort into making the country what it was, gone. The journey away from his homeland was enough to crack at the mind of the weak willed, but it was the destination the destroyed Clarky Arbastor. He spent all of his time mining and drinking in the caves of Lutnam, from walking in his fortress home at Lutumshire, to crawling in the dusty tunnels of Lutnam. It was a drastic change and the only thing the kept him and his comrades moving every day was their burning hate for the Phoenians who took their homes. Many people believe this was the turning point where Clarky Arbastor went insane. Blue Arbiter, however, had not completely lost hope. He headed to the AWE, becoming an established figure and using his influence to put pressure onto the Phoenians until they finally released Lutum.

The Booba Incident
Clarky had undergone alot of mental trauma during Lutnam. The trauma in combination with the Mc Clarky Curse was literally driving him insane. He couldn't stop thinking about Lutnam, but he had to, because he was a monarch and was still in charge of a huge country. The stress begun to overwhelm him, and he was hanging on by a couple of strings. The strings were then cut.

Local Tomboy, the future monarch of Lutum, had begun posting images that Clarky did not like. This drove Clarky to exile Tomboy from the land peridoically, and say that if anybody smuggled her back in, in any way at all, he would exile and execute them too. Clarky eventually calmed down, and realized what he had done. He immediately stepped down, and put his son Blue Arbiter in charge temporarily until he recovered. Clarky never truly recovered, and so did not put himself in a position of power for decades after, leaving Blue Arbiter in charge. He finally begun to calm down and recover after the weight of the kingdom was lifted off his shoulders.

Babylus
The city of Babylus was a squatter claim in the North West of Lutum. Clarky was aware of the squatters, but didnt see them as much of a threat, believing it would be a simple easy job. Clarky was mistaken, however, and it was anything but. Clarky eventually found out about how negotiations had broken down between The Squatter King (the owner of Babylus), as he somehow kept on fighting against Lutum, refusing to surrender even when his own people were abandoning him. Clarky was pretty upset about this, and decided to go over and investigate the situation, as well as try calm down the mad squatter along with a couple other fellow Lutumites, including the Grand Knight. As Clarky neared the walls, he had lava dumped upon him, causing him to almost burn alive in the pain, no diplomacy was conducted on that day for obvious reasons. A raid was then organized on Babylus, to finally take down the mad squatter. After arrows were exchanged, the king finally surrendered, allowing them in on the one condition that they didnt kill him immediately. They were then led around the city, being given a tour of the quite frankly pretty quaint town. They then ascended up the pyramid in the center of town to the squatter's chamber. He then formally surrendered, trusting Clarky and a few other high ranking officials. While others saw the tax of 1000 per day, Clarky saw opportunity. He and 36reaper left silently, and ransacked the lower portion of the pyramid. They then emerged back to the king's chambers, where the king was about to be executed. The squatter king was then finally killed. Months past, minor issues but overall everything was going pretty awesome.

Local Tomboy & Vespera
After his condition plummeted, Clarky left the country and went into isolation for a month, it is still unknown where he went or what he did, when questioned on the fact, he just replies with vague answers. When Clarky returned, the nation had completely changed. It had formed with the country of Visio into the country of vespera. Clarky fell into a pit of alcoholism (although he already.. enjoyed alcohol before hand) and solitude locked up in his fortress. He now stays quiet most of the time, only speaking to close friends from Lutum and family, only rarely speaking to anyone else. He longs to get help and to be saved from his downward spiral, but he alone cannot help himself, and the lack of doctors, let alone therapists in vespera doesnt help much. He now resorts to walking around, often looking confused, or paranoid. When not in his castle, he can be seen buying alcohol bottles in the cafes and bars of Lutumshire, or walking aimlessly through the maze that is the sewers. Clarky has truly taken a fall from grace, once a prideful king, now a lowly poor alcohol addicted citizen of Vespera. He still holds some resemblance of respect from the oldest of Lutum veterans, but from newer people, and merchants, he is just scene as a mad drunkard hobo. This obviously took more of a toll on his mental health ontop of the McClarky curse, and he seems to be getting sadder day by day, plummeting further down his mental spiral.

Diregon
A while after Clarky had arrived back at Vespera, they merged again into Diregon. Clarky didnt care much for it, and the only reason I am bringing it up is just to avoid confusion later on when I refer to the country as Diregon.

Therapy.
Around June, the construction of a therapy office was announced. The lack of mental help had not helped Clarky with his mental instability, so to hear that there was one being built was good news to Clarky and many other citizens (exluding Sepet). After the building was completed, Clarky was led over. The hospital looked like a cellar from the exterior, hidden behind the blacksmith of Lutumshire. When Clarky walked down the stairs, he was horrified. There was blood coating the floor and a pressure plate in the middle of the room. Clarky turned to leave but was blocked by Nova, now wearing full diamond armor, forcing him onto the pressure pad. As soon as the pressure pad was touched, walls shot out from the floor, trapping Clarky within. Clarky scrambled to try and escape, but he knew that even if he did, he would be killed by Nova anyway. Clarky then tried to break out, causing Nova to pull a lever, crushing Clarky into the floor, causing him agonizing pain. He tried to scream for help but nobody could hear him in the basement. Clarky was then beaten and tortured until he finally escaped, mining directly down and luckily landing in a cave system which was connected to the huge stripmines under Lutumshire. Clarky ran for his life. He eventually surfaced, still being chased by Nova. He used his secret systems of tunnels but they were of no help either. Eventually he drank crimson wine which made him float away and finally escape from Nova.. This has caused Clarky to develop trust issues and constant paranoia but also a fear and hatred for therapists. Clarky now cannot get the help he desperately needs because of this fear. He also stays away from Nova now.

Cats.
After the events of the therapy room, Clarky was at his lowest mental point. He was alone for most of his time, and now constantly paranoid. He eventually learned that Ember had pet cats, and so he begged for a kitten. Eventually, he got a small jellie cat kitten which he called Gubo. Clarky loved Gubo, designating an entire room of his house just for the kitten. This, at the time of writing, seems to be the start of Clarkies mental recovery Gubo died a couple days later, and a couple days after that, he was replaced by Goobert the cat. Goobert was given to Clarky as a kitten. Goobert was a tabby kitten who has now replaced Gubo and taken over his room. Clarky now had an idea. He felt empty inside, so he would just simply fill that space with cats. Clarky begun breeding cats.. A lot. However, most of them vanished under suspicious circumstances. Clarky now has 5-8 cats to his name.

A couple days after the weird cat thing, Clarky was invited to another weird thing: a Diregon police raid on Ember's brewery (because of allegations that Ember abused cats). Clarky went over, being given a Swardian shield and staying hidden. Clarky then pretended to just arrive and requested to be given Ember's cats, however, Clarky was then offered an offer he could not refuse. Ember asked Clarky if he wanted to go and trash Laurries house. He obviously accepted where he then told Ember about the weird cat stealing operation. They then went back to the family mansion. Another couple days after this, Clarky was given ALL of ember's cats by Laurry. Clarky then blackmailed Ember with the cats, saying he would only return them if he was given 10k. Ember then proceeded to beat up Clarky until his angel chests put all his loot onto the ground. Ember then proceeded to take one out of the three cats Clarky had on him, one of his shulkers and his spyglass. This was an issue. Clarky then made a deal with Ember, where he would give the other 2 cats back if he was given his spy glass and shulker back.

Swoogler is satan incarnate and must be locked in a cage in the family mansion using the corpses of 3 dead cats to keep him trapped away. Swoogler is a creature that appears to be a regular cat that appeared one day randomly in Clarkies house. As soon as he is observed by any creature, except god himself, they are overwhelmed with an immense fear and dread. Clarky and Ember hurridly made measures to contain Swoogler and any of his clones (currently only 1 other clone has been found) locked away and secure. Clarky has plans to move Swoogler into his dungeon when it is completed by Presidente. If Swoogler escapes, who knows what sort of havoc he could cause.

Blessed be Da Berry
Berrism is Clarkies religion. Clarky is the oldest living Berrist apart from Un_Sabroso_huevo but the status he's in is barely living.

Clarky was going along with his daily routine, chugging alcohol and trying to adopt more animals when his foot got caught on a berry bush. He tried pulling his foot away from the bush, but the more he pulled, the tighter the bushes grip got around his ankle. Clarky then noticed something. There was a long tendril creeping up his leg, wrapping around his leg and digging into his skin. Clarky was in pain, but had stopped struggling, he knew this was the work of Da Berry himself. The vines continued creeping up his leg until they slithered past his torso and into his ear. Clarky was suddenly transported to a white void where Da Berry spoke to him. He was to become the eyes and ears of Da Berry himself. Clarky protested, wanting full control of his body and not being spied on constantly, Da Berry simply didnt respond, sending him back to where he was before, except, Clarky was now covered in Berries. He tried pulling off the berry roots out from his body put they wouldnt get out, eventually he gave up. This is what had happened to Un_Sabroso_Huevo days before he was put into a coma. The state Sabroso was put in was nothing short of torture. He had had the same condition as Clarky, and eventually Da Berry convinced him to go out into the forest and kneel. The berries overtook his body, completely ingulfing him until he was encased in some sort of unbreakable berry material. Clarky had confirmed he was still alive in there, and concious infact, but he couldnt move, speak, here, smell or even see. In the situation Clarky was now put in, he was terrified.

Clarky tried everything, but Da Berry was attatched to him, he would have to tear himself apart if he wanted to try and remove Da Berry from his body. Clarky finally had good idea. He'd strap himself down and become exposed to the sun, the one thing Da Berry despised. He prepared himself, and then eventually started by strapping himself down on the roof of his fortress. The day was fine, Clarky kept himself entertained. It was easy for a mad man to keep himself happy using only his head. On the third day, however, it got difficult. It was as if Da Berry was plucking strings in his brain, at first doing little things that just made him angry. "The birds are too noisy, I'm hungry, the sun is too bright", Da Berry kept trying to manipulate him but it didnt work. Eventually, he stepped it up a gear. He started forcing Clarky to see hallucinations of horrible events. Lutnam, the Phoenix Crisis, the Booba Incident. Clarky was being tortured, but he kept going. It was if Da Berry was slowly finding out how to torture the Mad Gnome using his own mind. Eventually he just gave up on psycological manipulation, stabbing thorns the size of knives into Clarky but he still kept going. Eventually, Da Berry went back to hallucinations, then plucking strings, and it went quieter, and quieter, and quieter until he couldnt hear anything from Da Berry anymore. On the 7th day, Clarky woke up to a shriveled up berry vine next to him. Da Berry had finally given up.

Clarky knew Da Berry was just trying to become closer to his followers, but Clarky did not want himself to be the Vassal. He forgived Da Berry for his actions, and stayed loyal to the religion through everything.

Conspiring against the government
House Lutum had enough of the foolishness of the Diregon government. The nation was rapidly changing from a union into a second Swardia. They decided to take matters into their own hands and they started to conspire about how they would take care of the tomfoolery.

They had conspired for months, trying to find their perfect way in. This was when they all decided to vote for Nova yet even that failed, so, they decided to kick it up a notch. Sepet and Presidente kept suggesting total independence and war, at the young beginnings of the Lutumite Nationalists (the name that they had now given their small group inside the family) but Nyava and Clarky disagreed, and wanted a more peaceful approach, so it was a stalemate for a while. Nova eventually got into the government, as the visians were down a Leyfridd and picked Nyava even though he was a Lutumite which let the Nationalists have a far better look at the innards of the Senate. Nyava eventually hatched a plan, using some plans the government did not want to get out, he decided to blackmail the government to give more control to Lutum and less control to Swardia. This plan was never completed.

Sepet had became the laughing stock of the family. He was easy to mess with and had a war of mental warfare almost daily. Sepet had obviously became sick and tired of this and eventually one too many insults were thrown his way, and he got pissed off. The entire plan was leaked to the government by Sepet and the Lutumite Nationalists had to abandon their plans and flee.

King Sepet
After the failed plot, Clarky cared less about running in the government, seeing now that his golden days truly were behind him. When the Regent (King) election rolled around for Lutum, neither Nyava or Clarky cared about running much. Clarky still ran, but only posted a couple joke speeches and didnt even vote. This opened up a gap for a new Lutumite king, Sepet.

During Sepet's run for king, he had promised Clarky the role of Leyfridd (Senator). When Sepet won, Clarky was of course, grateful, but also saw that Sepet could be an unfit choice for king. He thought over the pros and cons in his mind but could not think of many pros apart from him being in house Lutum, the cons on the otherhand, were extensive. Sepet had no money, he had no power, he had a very short temper and was just unexperienced in any leadership role.

HLM Shenanigans
Nyava founded the HLM, although it was originally called the Minutemen and was Lutum's official Militia under the rule of the juvenile king Sepet. Sepet had originally designed the Militia to take care of the region of Lutum, and have royal guards protect the family. Nyava and Clarky did not like the idea of being under the rule of Sepet, yet they couldnt complain. First they had to set up the basics.

Sepet led Clarky to a declaimed part of Lutum on the very edge. It seemed like a perfect place to build the first HQ of the Minutemen and they started setting up a small camp. Clarky decided to explore around the town and stumbled upon the ruins of an old fortress, deciding to make that the official headquarters. Sepet left, and Clarky started repairing the top floor of the fortress as it had holes in the walls, and was very dilapidated. Sepet returned and wanted to tear down the entire fort, deciding to remodel the building, yet Clarky was heavily against the idea as he had spent 10 minutes fixing up the fortress and thought it was already good how it was. Clarky protested the fact that HE had found the fort eventually, and he had already started repairing it, Sepet retorted that HE was the king of Lutum and he had to remodel it. They argued like this for a minute, before the debate quickly turned into a battle when Sepet swung his sword at Clarky. Clarky fought back, defeating Sepet. Sepet came back with peace in mind and tried peacefully explaining that he just wanted to teardown the building so he could remodel it, but leave the bottom section intact. Clarky still did not care, he proclaimed that they should wait for Nyava, who was the leader of the HLM, before doing anything drastic. Sepet then tried to murder Clarky again, but he was defeated once more. Sepet was angered grealty, and started yelling at Clarky which attracted the attention of Nyava who quickly rushed over and held a a "court" in one of the towns abandoned berrist churches. The story was explained and Nyava was in favour of Clarky, saying that he had found it first and had already built on it, and Sepet accepted no compromises.

Nyava and Clarky were greatly upset by Sepet's conflict, and tried to get out from under the influence of the crown. the Minutemen became seperate from the government of Lutum, and the name was changed to House Lutum Militia. Their goal was changed to protecting the House first, protecting the region second. This created tension between the government and the Militia, with Sepet being in great anger over this, bringing it up days after the event took place.

Conspiring Part 2
Nyava eventually reached out to Clarky and it turned out that they had the same opinions on Sepet, so they formed a plan to impeach him. They thought that if 2 or more Leyfridds voted to impeach the king, it could be done, and fortunately, they were both Leyfridds. They schemed and decided to hold the vote just after they were assigned their regions to own, but that date never came so they changed the date, and then put their plan into action.

Nyava attempted to ease the government into the plan, but the Diregonian high command thought they were plotting a rebellion and not a peaceful impeachment. To quote one of the Diregonian officials: "If you're gonna rebel, do it now.". Nyava and Clarky then explained the whole plan, that they were not infact rebelling but were rather trying to impeach the king. It turned out what they thought was true was wrong. Regents can vote out the Gragir (Emperor), but Leyfridds cant vote out the king. They had to quickly improvise and get the govnerment to back them up and impeach Sepet. The senate had bad reactions to their plan, but as Nyava and Clarky explained their points, less and less people continued arguing until it was just Nyava and Clarky versus Sepet. They came to a compromise, thankfully. If sepet could get 100k coins in 2 weeks, he could keep his position as king. However, if he didnt, he would be forced to abdicate. After the compromise was made, tensions started to die down, but it seemed two people did not like the way Lutum was turning out.

Assasination Attempt
Right after the impeaching drama, Sepet, Blue Arbiter, Clarky, Poriis (The Emperor) and his son Badi all attended a party hosted by Bobree. Bobree had recently cracked the recipe for a wine that was before thought to have gone extinct, this was obviously a big moment.

Clarky arrived first in Farmington where he was showed to the bar, and then showed to the actual bar. Sepet arrived second, having cooled down from the impeaching him and Clarky were on good terms (especially because Clarky had bought him new armor). Blue Arbiter arrived third and then Poriis and Badi showed up together. The party begun, they danced, drunk and had a good time until Badi and Poriis drew their swords. They attacked Clarky, which caused him to flee from the bar and took him down to extremely low health. They chased him into a small cave-home, but Clarky locked the door behind himself and screamed for help. Blue and Bobree showed up, but were confused in their drunken state. Badi tried to lure Clarky out by proposing marriage, but it had little to no effect on him. Sepet eventually arrived and the fight begun. Blue and Sepet tried fighting off Poriis and Badi (Bobree had no armor), Sepet opened the door to try help Clarky, thinking somebody was in there, or just wanting to kill Clarky, but whatever the reason, this just caused for Badi to run in. Badi and Clarky fought, but Clarky severly lacked the fighting prowess to defend himself and the only thing keeping him alive was his armour. Sepet managed to pull Badi off Clarky and they started fighting. Clarky fled out the door, with Poriis going inside at the same time seeing the open door. Clarky slammed and locked the door behind himself again but he had locked Poriis and Badi in a room with Sepet, causing blue to open the door to try let him out whilst Clarky ran away. Blue and a now heavily weakened Sepet tried fighting Poriis but they were critically injured, and the chase after Clarky continued. Clarky sprinted into Bobree's brewery and hid in there. Badi and Poriis found them though, and came in through the windows. Bobree pulled Clarky into a backroom(not the yellow one) which had no windows so that Poriis and Badi could not get inside. Clarky was called a coward, but after some time the attackers left, which gave Bobree and Clarky a chance to escape out the greenhouse attatched to Bobree's brewery and climb out the roof. Bobree helped Clarky get over the wall. Clarky thanked Bobree for his help and then headed back to Lutumshire. Clarky was not safe in Lutumshire. Badi was there waiting for him. Clarky had watched Lutumshire grow from a single building he himself built, and so easily outsmarted the tiny Swardian brain with his huge Lutumite brain. Clarky locked Badi in houses and rooms multiple times, only to release him and let him continue chasing. Clarky didnt see this as a threat anymore, but just a fun little game. Badi eventually tried putting on a mask of Ember's face, trying to disguise himself as Ember. Clarky simply stated that Ember doesnt wear armor so he doesnt believe its the real Ember, which lead to Badi taking off all his armor and Clarky stabbing him. Clarky then proceeded to run away to one of his many bunkers.

Clarky Arbastor, 6th King of Lutum
Clarky and Nyava continued scheming. The agreement they had made with Sepet was not going well. Sepet had made 60k in one day, and then seemingly stopped, and they knew even if he lost he would make up some kind of excuse to worm his way out of abdication. They had to plot something quickly.

They thought until Nyava realized something. They could just take the majority of the country, and declare themselves as kings, so thats what they did. Clarky sent messages to every mayor in Lutum to get their support for him and Nyava, and all but one mayors agreed which was good news. Nyava then made a deal with Sepet which gave the conspirators full control of the meeting place of Lutum (The discord) and their plan was finally complete. Nyava drafted a constitution and dennouncement, and they were ready. They announced to Diregon and Lutum that they were now Diarchs of Lutum. The announcement was not well recieved. Sepet was outraged, the majority of the government was ridiculing them and even people who had agreed with their cause had confessed that the time they had asserted themselves as Diarchs of Lutum was not the best, as there were already rising tensions with a corrupt emperor.

Nyava and Clarky were involved in many more arguments, specificly against Swardians which went on for days until they finally came to a deal. They would hold a vote in Lutumshire (the discord), in which only Lutumite citizens could vote which would last for 24 hours. There was a landslide in the favour of Nyava and Clarky. 14 Lutumite citizens voted in favour of the Diarchs, and 2 voted in support of the Sepet (one of the votes being himself). The Diregonian emperor, Poriis as well as Sepet tried claiming the vote was rigged, even after being given access to make sure it wasnt and eventually said that it did not count. Nyava and Clarky were involved in more arguments and there was even talk of a civil war. Poriis and Sepet wanted this to be settled with blood and combat, as they viewed it as a violent uprising that could be a ploy for Lutum to gain independence. Nyava and Clarky on the otherhand wanted to strike a deal with the two, ending this diplomatically. They kept getting close to deals, and then Sepet backing out at the last minute, until they finally settled on something.

The following is Nyava's announcement to Lutum on the Second of November at 20:43 GMT:

''As the tensions in the civil war of Lutum toiled, and armies were built, I realized that Lutum could not go on like this. I, Sepet, and Clarky have negotiated peace!'' proposition and terms of peace;

AVE LUTUM!
 * 1) Lutum is to become an Oligarchy, with Sepet, Clarky, and I as rulers
 * 2) After our reign; both of us may run in any election we may wish, but there will be no more "claims" to the throne.
 * 3) The constitution I wrote will be accepted, with slight alteration to it if need be (along with changing it from Diarchy to Oligarchy)
 * 4) I will completely disband the HLM (House Lutum Militia) and rename it as the Minutemen of Lutum; fully serving the crown of Lutum
 * 5) I will take back my denouncement of Sepet, and write a new announcement addressing the peace
 * 6) 100K will be paid to Sepet
 * 7) Clarky and Nyava's Leyfridd will be given back
 * 8) Lutum will proberly be recognized within the Rahkar öl Diregon

MAY PEACE FOREVER PREVAIL!

Overthrowing the Criminal-Emperor Poriis
Clarky was asleep when this occured. Many in the council believed the current Diregonian government only served to de-stabilize the nation, and they wanted to do something about it. I dont really know what happened but as Clarky woke up, Poriis had been kicked out of power and replaced by Antares, and Clarky and many others were now in the position of High Councillor.

The country faced even more instability during this time, as the government was trying to reform as well as the Swardians at the Visians throat. With the Swardian unhappiness growing at Poriis's coup, Swardia eventually decided to leave the nation. Destroying the dream of a united Maddrak as well as Diregon itself. Luckily, Lutum had prepared for this and was able to leave, keeping themselves stable and went under Anglunia as a protectorate, as well as merging with Farania into the Territories of Shurida

Shurida
Clarky, Elyon, Nyava and Cat formed the nation of Shurida on the 12th of the 11th 2022. It was a day of joy, yet also tragedy. It was the day of a new nation that Lutum had more power in, but also a farewell to Diregon and all the nations that made up its land.

Taking a break
Clarky was now exhausted. He had overthrown Diregon and helped in the forming of Shurida, on top of this, Clarky had been very active in Lutum and to be frank; he was burnt out. Clarky decided to take a break for a while. He locked himself up in his fortress in Lutumshire and started to recharge himself, growing closer to Da Berry during his isolation.

A short lived nation
Whilst Clarky was in his isolation, there was alot of ongoings behind the scenes. Clarky does not know much about what happened, but eventually Shurida split to due to pressuring from outside forces. Lutum was now independent again which, contrary to what some may think, was not a good thing. Lutum had just gone through 2 collapses of 2 different governments and was unstable. The government had to do something, and fast.

Anglunia
Lutum looked at it's options. There were tensions rising between different super-powers which made them look to their Anglunian friends to the west. They carefully considered, and then agreed to become a protectorate under Anglunia. Clarky was relieved that Lutum was now safe. But, in Clarkies absence, something happened. Lutum became a state of Anglunia. Clarky was greatly disapointed, seeing his nation that he built lose it's independence, but, he accepted the fact and continued with his isolation.

Clarky hates communism.
Clarky had been returning to Lutum every month or so, just checking up on his beloved country. During one of his inspections, he realized that a rot had been growing in the bowels of Lutum, one that Anglunia had spread. Communism. Clarky absolutely despises communism. As a former monarch, he naturally despised communism and its sympathisers, seeing it as the flawed ideology it truly is. Clarky quickly dismantled the government, and made himself CEO of the now Megacorporation of Lutum, with Nyava as his CFO. Clarky of course doesn't plan on having it like this permanently.. He just needed to do something to force himself back into Lutum, demonstrating that he, even after all these centuries, WAS lutum itself.

Lutum's Emperor Eternal
Ever since the conflict between Sepet, Clarky and Nova, Clarky has held absolute control over the meeting place of the high council (the discord. and they're never getting it back.). Because of Clarkies isolation, this has turned him into somewhat of an enigma, occasionally returning and causing havoc, before retreating back to whenst he came. Clarky is the single biggest threat to Lutum, not because of militaristic power, or master diplomacy, but because he holds the ability to bring Lutum to it's knees, whilst also being wildly unpredictable and chaotic because of the McClarky Curse which still haunts him to this day. Once every year or so, Clarky emerges from the depths of his castle to inspect Lutum. If he sees one thing that he doesn't like, he will fly into a rage that he sometimes leans a bit too far into, hurting others and himself in the process (e.g, booba incident 1, 2 and 3 as well as the communist incident.)

Holy Kingdom of Lutum
idk i'll probably fill this in when i want to, basically lutum is independent after like half an irl year

Family (This will always be at the bottom, its not the most recent event)
Clarkies family is the royal family of Lutum. It's called Lutum House (obviously), with the family tree being really confusing and large because Nova married like 15 men or something.

The family was formed in old Lutum, when Clarky adopted Blue Arbiter. The family was them for a while (occasionally reaper as he and Clarky married and divorced repeatedly) until Diregon, when Clarky adopted 2 other people: Nova and Sr Presidente. Presidente went on to marry Sepet, and Nova went on to adopt Ember and Captain Franz.

The important family members (cool ones)
Despite the horrifying ordeal Clarky went through with Nova, over time, he has somehow found a way to put family first and to learn to tolerate Nova after he did some weird stuff and used pieces of Clarkie's soul to change into another person (i dont know what happened there still, so i will not elaborate). He still, however, holds a level of resentment and mistrust toward him.

Ember is Nova's child, and Clarkies grandchild. Ember is Clarky Arbastor's mega beer supplier, which fuels his alcoholism alot more. Clarky cares for Ember, mostly because of the alcohol.

Reaper is Clarkies ex-wife/husband/marriage thing. Reaper and Clarky met centuries ago, a while before Lutumshire was founded. Over the centuries, they fell in love and got married. Reaper complained about Clarkies excessive mega beer consumption. Clarky eventually got sick of Reaper's complaining and decided to divorce him, sending reaper to the streets. Reaper, however, decided to sue Clarky for domestic abuse but the case was dismissed because of lack of evidence. Clarky and Reaper are now divorced with Reaper living in what used to be their room in the family manor.

Presidente is the builder of the mansion that the family currently resides in, as well as the current Bope of Berrism.

Blue Arbiter is the most sane member of the family. He is Clarkies first adopted son and second king of Lutum. Clarky holds alot of admiration for Arbiter, and views him as the best leader of Lutum.
