1500 - 1600

Holy Jožko
The first recorded text of Jozkov was made back in the 1530's, the text was about a person named "Holy Jožko". The historians were speculating that this person was one of the first founders of Jozkov. From other texts, the historians found that "Holy Jožko" is indeed the first founder of Jozkov. The last text about "Holy Jožko" was from the year 1563, where it said that Holy Jožko died in a creeper explosion.

Son rivalry
Holy Jožko had 2 sons. Jožko the I. and Jožko the II. The rivalry started when Jožko the II stole the crown from his older brother Jožko the I. That resulted in a 5 year argument which then resulted in a civil war in the year 1589. There were 2 sides: The Northerners and the Southerners.

Not much was known about the war except that the war was ended in the year 1597. The text made by "Lou-Lin" (the first written Jozkovian author), stated that the war resulted in a stalemate and that the sides were split into two. The Northern Side and the Southern Side. The Northern Side was ruled by Jožko the I. and the Southern side was ruled by Jožko the II. The war resulted in around 323 000 casulties. Both sides were broke after the war that resulted in the Potato Famine.

The Northern & the Southern struggle
After the war, both sides wasted all their resources. The North side focused on agriculture and the South side focused on animal husbandry. In the following years, the North side prospered and the South side was starving, because the animals started to get sick and died. When the Southerners ate the meat from the dead animals they got an unknown disease and a couple of days later they died because of a stroke or because of an internal bleeding. The South suffered around 50 000 casulties.

In 1602 The South side slowly got back on it's feet and now the North side was suffering even more because of a huge drought that spanned over 7 years. Historians believed that the Southerners sabotaged the Northern water supply, so the water would be undrinkable for plants. The most probable reason was that a volcano called "Volcano Corontino" exploded which caused a 7 year winter. Not only the North suffered but also the South. The combined casulties because of this drought is around 146 000 casulties. There were texts from the first Jozkovian author Lou-Lin that the people resorted to cannibalism, which then lead to insanity and there was anarchy in Jozkov for a while.
