Decades of Chaos

The Decades of Chaos was a 23-year (2141 – 2164 CY) period of political instability within the Kingdom of Jozunia. The period is characterized by its political strife, assassinations, coups, fraudulent elections, and collapse of order with the political system. The decades of chaos would be caused by the disgruntlement of the military and nobility within Jozunia following the Second Homeland War. Though initially well placated after the war, following the death of king Kenohos Hegos in 2141 CY, the nobility would become uncooperative and the military unwilling to follow orders.

History

Spipohos Cauros

Following the death of Hegos, king Spipohos Cauros would be elected to the throne. Cauros was a populist figure, riding off the support of those in the army and their families. Cauros would promise that Jozunia would see new lands to be conquered, and proposed numerous wars against the Morei, Jashakus, and Kurozuns. This newly conquered land was planned to then be given to veterans yet to receive such land, or to those willing and able to cultivate it. Cauros would become controversial for this, the people of Cabiqoltun were unwilling to waste more lives in another pointless war, and the noble families not affiliated with the army grew concerned over Cauros’s ambitions.
