'''FORDaLoZ''' is an EarthMC player and military leader of [[Nostra:Nubia|Nubia]] within the [[Nostra:Nubia|Fourth Nubian Empire]]. He is best known as the founder and current Head of the [[The Nubian Army|Nubian Army]], having led its development since its establishment in May 2026. Serving as Nubia's Minister of Defence, FORDaLoZ has become one of the nation's most prominent military figures through his continued leadership of the Army, his involvement in several notable conflicts, and his efforts to strengthen both the military and the safety of Nubian citizens. | |||
Outside of his political career, FORDaLoZ is also recognised for his PvP ability. Having played competitive Minecraft PvP for 4 years before joining EarthMC, and achieving high-tier rankings on [https://mctiers.com/rankings/overall MCTiers], he entered the server with extensive combat experience. This reputation has carried into EarthMC, where he is widely regarded as one of Nubia's strongest combatants and has frequently led the nation's forces in battle. | |||

FORDaLoZ joined EarthMC during [[Terra Aurora]] on ''7th March, 2026'', settling in the Nubian town of Djibouti within the [[Aurora:Nubia|Third Nubian Empire]]. While his time on Aurora was relatively brief, it marked his introduction to the Nubian community and the beginning of several friendships that would continue into Terra Nostra. | |||
Unlike his later years, FORDaLoZ's time on Aurora was not defined by politics or military leadership. Instead, he established himself primarily as a PvP player, becoming an active member of the Hunter's Guild (now the [https://discord.gg/a7jGe4ZKEw EMC PvP Guild]) and earning a reputation for successfully completing player bounties worth up to 1,000 gold. During this period he also became acquainted with several prominent Nubians, including felixsgt, then Mayor of Djibouti and Minister of Trade & Commerce. | |||
Although Terra Aurora ended only a few weeks later, the experience proved significant. The relationships he formed and the combat experience he gained would later shape both his leadership and the military organisation he would establish in Terra Nostra. | |||

On ''1st May, 2026'', the day of [[Terra Nostra]]'s public release, FORDaLoZ joined [[Nostra:Nubia|Nubia]] and entered the capital city of Napata.

The battle rapidly escalated as additional hunters arrived from across the server, turning a local defence into one of the largest engagements involving Nubia during Terra Nostra's opening weeks. | |||
Although the defenders eventually withdrew, the objective was achieved: DekuFullCowling successfully completed the charity project.

FORDaLoZ is an EarthMC player and military leader of Nubia within the Fourth Nubian Empire. He is best known as the founder and current Head of the Nubian Army, having led its development since its establishment in May 2026. Serving as Nubia's Minister of Defence, FORDaLoZ has become one of the nation's most prominent military figures through his continued leadership of the Army, his involvement in several notable conflicts, and his efforts to strengthen both the military and the safety of Nubian citizens.
Outside of his political career, FORDaLoZ is also recognised for his PvP ability. Having played competitive Minecraft PvP for 4 years before joining EarthMC, and achieving high-tier rankings on MCTiers, he entered the server with extensive combat experience. This reputation has carried into EarthMC, where he is widely regarded as one of Nubia's strongest combatants and has frequently led the nation's forces in battle.
History
Terra Aurora
FORDaLoZ joined EarthMC during Terra Aurora on 7th March, 2026, settling in the Nubian town of Djibouti within the Third Nubian Empire. While his time on Aurora was relatively brief, it marked his introduction to the Nubian community and the beginning of several friendships that would continue into Terra Nostra.
Unlike his later years, FORDaLoZ's time on Aurora was not defined by politics or military leadership. Instead, he established himself primarily as a PvP player, becoming an active member of the Hunter's Guild (now the EMC PvP Guild) and earning a reputation for successfully completing player bounties worth up to 1,000 gold. During this period he also became acquainted with several prominent Nubians, including felixsgt, then Mayor of Djibouti and Minister of Trade & Commerce.
Although Terra Aurora ended only a few weeks later, the experience proved significant. The relationships he formed and the combat experience he gained would later shape both his leadership and the military organisation he would establish in Terra Nostra.
Terra Nostra
Beginnings in Napata
On 1st May, 2026, the day of Terra Nostra's public release, FORDaLoZ joined Nubia and entered the capital city of Napata. Upon joining the nation, he was invited by Emperor Twomoo1119 to settle in the city and was provided with an apartment within the capital. Although the Nubian Army had not yet been established, this apartment would later become the foundation of the Army's early headquarters, serving as the starting point of FORDaLoZ's involvement in Nubia's military development.
The Formation of the Nubian Army
Recognising the need for a dedicated military force, FORDaLoZ founded Terra Nostra’s Nubian Army on 2nd May, 2026, only one day after joining the server. Rather than existing as an informal group of fighters, the Army was conceived as a permanent institution responsible for the defence of Nubia and the protection of its citizens. During its earliest days, FORDaLoZ drafted its organisational structure, established its command hierarchy, and began recruiting the first generation of Nubian soldiers.
As the Army expanded, its headquarters were established at Fort Ox, a military settlement founded to support the organisation's operations. Serving as both a logistical centre and military base, Fort Ox became, and currently remains as, the home of the Nubian Army.
The rapid development of the Army quickly established FORDaLoZ as one of Nubia's leading organisers. Although the organisation was still in its infancy, its creation laid the foundations for Nubia's future defence.
Minister of Defence
The establishment of the Nubian Army quickly elevated FORDaLoZ's standing within Nubia. As the organisation grew, so too did its importance to the nation, leading to his election as Nubia's first Minister of Defence on 19th May, 2026.
His appointment formalised the military role he had already assumed in practice. As Minister of Defence, FORDaLoZ continued overseeing the Army's expansion while introducing greater organisation to its command structure. Recruitment increased steadily, military responsibilities became more clearly defined, and Fort Ox continued to develop into the operational centre of Nubian defence.
During his first term, FORDaLoZ advocated for a military centred around preparation rather than reaction. Soldiers were encouraged not only to develop their combat ability but also to remain equipped, organised, and ready to respond to threats at short notice. This philosophy would later become one of the defining characteristics of the Nubian Army.
Military cooperation also became an increasing priority. On 31st May, 2026, FORDaLoZ signed the Nubia-Aba Treaty of Mutual Military Support, strengthening relations between Nubia and Aba and establishing one of the earliest formal military partnerships involving the Fourth Nubian Empire. The agreement laid the foundations for closer cooperation between the two nations and remained an important part of Nubia's diplomatic policy.
Early Campaigns
The Army's first months were marked by frequent military activity as Nubia sought to establish itself within Terra Nostra. Having only recently been founded, the organisation was repeatedly called upon to defend Nubian citizens and support allies against hostile players.
Dedicated Deterrence Mission
Its first operation took place on 3rd May, 2026, when soldiers FORDaLoZ, Acerse, felixsgt and ally TTV_OilTanker confronted the hunters CrazyDude5 and DianaMommy outside Napata. Despite the Army's limited equipment and experience at the time, the operation succeeded in forcing both hunters to withdraw, becoming the first successful dedicated deterrence mission conducted by the Nubian Army.
Skirmish of Hershey
Only a week later, the Army fought in the Skirmish of Hershey, where FORDaLoZ and Acerse attempted to defend Nubian residents against a group of Italian hunters. The engagement escalated unexpectedly after numerous invisible mercenaries entered the battle, overwhelming the Nubian force. Although forced to retreat, the encounter exposed the realities of large-scale PvP on Terra Nostra and influenced the Army's future emphasis on preparation and intelligence.
Battle of Phoenix
On 16th May, 2026, FORDaLoZ organised what was, at the time, the Army's largest deployment during the Battle of Phoenix. Working alongside Nubian soldiers and allied volunteers, he assembled a force to defend streamer DekuFullCowling while he constructed a charity wall near to the Arizonan town, Phoenix. The battle rapidly escalated as additional hunters arrived from across the server, turning a local defence into one of the largest engagements involving Nubia during Terra Nostra's opening weeks.
Although the defenders eventually withdrew, the objective was achieved: DekuFullCowling successfully completed the charity project. The battle became one of the Army's earliest defining moments, demonstrating both its willingness to defend allies beyond Nubia's borders and its ability to organise large-scale military operations despite being only weeks old.
Government Restructuring
Following the conclusion of Nubia's May-term government, FORDaLoZ entered the June 2026 elections seeking re-election as Minister of Defence. However, on 21st June, 2026, he withdrew his candidacy as part of a wider restructuring of the Nubian government. The decision saw the Army's former supplier, FudgingPerfect, assume the position of Minister of Defence, while FORDaLoZ remained Head of the Nubian Army.
Although no longer holding the ministerial office, little changed within the Army itself. FORDaLoZ continued directing military organisation, overseeing strategic decisions, and managing the Army's day-to-day operations, ensuring that the transition in government did not interrupt its development.
Two days later, on 23rd June, 2026, Emperor Twomoo1119 proposed FORDaLoZ's appointment as Imperial Assistant. The proposal was unanimously approved by the Minister Cabinet, passing with 8 votes in favour and none against. His appointment reflected the confidence the government continued to place in him, though it proved to be short-lived.
On 4th July, 2026, only thirteen days after the June-term government was announced, FudgingPerfect resigned from the position of Minister of Defence due to time constraints. In accordance with Nubian governmental procedure, FORDaLoZ was reinstated as Minister of Defence, resuming the office while continuing his role as Head of the Nubian Army.
Consolidating the Army
Following his reinstatement, FORDaLoZ shifted much of his attention towards strengthening the Army internally. Having already established its foundations during the opening weeks of Terra Nostra, his focus increasingly turned towards long-term organisation, recruitment, and readiness.
New soldiers continued to be recruited into the Army alongside dedicated suppliers responsible for maintaining military equipment and resources. Training became a greater priority, while Fort Ox continued to develop as the logistical centre of Nubian military operations.
Unlike the Army's earliest weeks, this period was characterised by relative stability. Rather than responding to frequent attacks, the Army spent much of its time preparing for future conflicts and improving its internal organisation. This period of preparation would later allow Nubia to respond more effectively whenever military intervention became necessary.
Despite the peace enjoyed by Nubia itself, the Army continued supporting allied nations when required. The most significant engagement during this period came on 18th July, 2026, during the Battle of SakharaFort.
Battle of SakharaFort
The battle began after Arabia requested military assistance against members of Red Sea who were harassing Arabian citizens at the town of SakharaFort. Responding to the request, FORDaLoZ assembled the available Nubian soldiers, including Acerse and notmusa_1, together with several allied players, before travelling to reinforce the town.
Upon arrival, the Nubian force found itself heavily outnumbered by a larger group of well-equipped opponents. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the defenders held their ground for approximately twenty minutes, inflicting considerable damage before the battle eventually turned against them.
Both FORDaLoZ and Acerse were ultimately killed by enemy mace attacks, forcing the remaining Nubian forces to withdraw. Although the battle ended in retreat, it became an important learning experience for the Army. Afterwards, FORDaLoZ placed greater emphasis on ensuring sufficient manpower before committing to major engagements, a principle that continued to influence the Army's operational planning.
