Line 144:
In 1498, a large amount of explorers from Tritonia came to Fyor by boat, first landing somewhere in Nordabero province. There is disagreement of where exactly they landed as evidence has been found in numerous areas of the coast in the province and is spread out quite apart from each other. The explorers were met with hostility, so they sailed off to the east instead landing in Gatan, they were not followed. Taking advantage of the fact that this particular area of Fyor had not yet been inhabited, they settled there. Their presence did not become known to the rest of Fyor until almost 6 months later, after a child discovered a large fortress in a forest, which soldiers later investigated and then told the King, Edara Mikaj. An attempt to drive them off failed as adequate defences had been built, how they were built in such a short time is unknown. Another attempt to drive them off a month later also failed. It was decided to leave the explorers to it, and that the situation would be reviewed annually, although it seems as if this was not the case and that there was no monitoring of the explorers by officials. The 2 groups did not communicate, as they were unable to understand each other but also because the Explorers had isolated themselves from the rest of Fyor.
There was no trouble until 1783, when a villager was killed by an explorer for 'treason' (this is what is recorded officially, but the actual reason is widely believed to be something else). This caused chaos and military intervention, a month long battle ensued and the explorers were driven out on what is now known as Venko Tago and sailed to Explorers Island where they have resided since. At first, Joseph Makedi, the King at the time, wanted to continue to pursue them but abruptly decided to drop the plans and instead leave them to reside on the island. People who had intermarried, and had already gained disapproval from both groups, were not allowed on Explorers Island and as such sailed to Kirsao. In 1785, the Kingdom of Fyor took control of some of Inotyol, however this was short lived and by the end of the year it had lost all control. In 1801 Joseph Makedi renamed Fyor from the "Kingdom of Fyor" to just "Fyor",
The 19th century saw a decline of Fyor's wealth, and it became relatively poor, though towards the end of the century the economy started to grow again, there was still a great difference from before. Resentment towards the 'rulers' grew and there were calls to replace the current system of governance.
In 1901 the ruler monarchical-type system of governance was abolished, though intended to be replaced with a republic instead a dictatorship followed, nevertheless Fyor went a name change from Kingdom to the 'Republic of Fyor'. With Elijah Makan taking control of Fyor, he began to take much more of an interest in Kiraso. He requested that Kiraso become a part of Fyor and that all Fyoric Explorers leave the island. However there had been so much integration and mixing that only a small amount of the population remained fully Fyoric Explorer. He soon realised that it was best to leave Kiraso for now, and he focused attention on Explorers Island, which had been functioning technically as a country since it's establishment in 1783. There was numerous threats made to the island, which had been doing relatively ok on its own since it became inhabited, up until 1910 when the Fyoric army invaded Explorers Island. It was placed under lockdown by the army and residents could not leave their homes, in hope of forcing them to come out for food and water. However this plan backfired as there were inadequate supplies for the Fyoric army, who originally expected the invasion to only last for at the maximum 10 hours. The army was forced to go back to bases and ships for supplies, and the Explorers were able to mobilise and defend the island. Fighting ensued for 2 weeks, but the Fyoric army easily overcame the Explorers and the island was put under Fyoric control and declared part of Fyor.
The dictatorship system continued until 1965. Elijah Makan's rule had come to an end in 1943 and his daughter, Sari Makan took control until 1965 where the dictatorship was overthrown and forced to stop due to mass protesting and civil unrest as a result of the bad economic situation which had not improved.
