Guaadaq Chiizuaa (Classical Chiöq: Guaadaq Chiïzuằằ piüün Zhuïïxăn), was the founder of the Great Kingdom of Chiöq and the first Great Chiär of Chiöq. His military campaigns and conquests lead to the first recorded Chiöq state.
Early life and rise
Guaadaq was born in 1352 CY as the eldest son of Guaadaq Suaakï̀ï̀q piüün Zhuïïxăn, the ruler of the Buuwuaa state in central Chiöq. Not much is known of his life before his rise to power, however it is very likely he was educated by the advisors of his father. It is recorded that he once remarked his training in military matters was among the finest in the known world.
In 1372 CY, Guaadaq succeeded to the throne after the death of his father in battle against the neighboring Giaaqshüü state. He inherited a state on the brink of destruction by its rival, and was determined to turn the state of his realm around. Using his knowledge of the desert to his advantage, he was able to ambush the enemy army at the Battle of Suaawiii, swiftly routing the invading forces of Giaaqshüü. He then turned to siege the enemy capital of Zuööxuằằ, whereupon viewing the hopelessness of the situation, the King of Giaaqshüü killed himself, prompting the surrender of the garrison. He then fully annexed the lands of the Giaaqshüü, alarming the neighboring rulers of Wiosuaa and Huaxuaa, who formed an alliance against the new threat to the balance of power in Chiöq. Guaadaq foresaw a potential total annihilation of his kingdom should both Wiosuaa and Huaxuaa attack, and so launched a pre-emptive campaign while this new alliance was still unready. Guaadaq would overwhelm the disorganized enemy forces at the Battle of X despite being vastly outnumbered. X
