Etymology
The name "Gjorka" comes from the Kingdom of Gior, and the Kingdom of Jor who merged together to form the first government to own all of modern day Gjorka.
Early History
Gjorka history dates back to 500 B.C when the Kingdom of Gior was founded. This newly created kingdom began invading and conquering its nearby neighbors. The neighboring towns and villages began forming into defensive pacts, and confederating, which caused their neighbors to form into defensive pacts, and unite. This chain of events leads to the establishment of the Seven Kingdoms. These kingdoms were: the Kingdom of Gior, the Kingdom of Jor, the Éire Confederacy, the Nom Commune, the Dundalk Kingdom, the Kingdom of Baltimore, and the Inner Kingdom. The Seven Kingdoms existed in a near-constant state of war, and entire towns such as Dundalk were wiped off the map. This fighting was so brutal that the population was getting too low to raise soldiers. This period ended in 129 B.C when the Avansert Empire invaded. The incredibly weak kingdoms could do nothing as their lands were conquered. The next several hundred years saw brutal oppression by the empire. Revolts were frequent and often forcefully suppressed. This came to a head in 326 A.D when a rebellion broke out in Eminople causing the Great Divide. Rebellion broke out across Gjorka as the Avansert collapsed. What followed was a period of anarchy where warlordism was rampant. This ended in 400 A.D when the Inner Kingdom was refounded and began a conquest of Inner Gjorka. Following the capture of Baltimore, the Inner Kingdom began an invasion of the small towns on the coast. Despite their superiority, they were unable to make any major gains. Resistance to occupation was severe, and many towns banded together in defensive pacts allowing them to defend against the armies of the Inner Kingdom. In 550 A.D, the Decree of 550 was issued. The Inner Kingdom would withdraw from all coastal territories, and in return, the coastal kingdoms would not invade the Inner Kingdom. This period with any major threat allowed the coast kingdoms to unify and stabilize. In 580 A.D, King Josias was crowned in the Kingdom of Gior. He was a military genius who in 10 years managed to unite much of the Northern Coast, and by 595 A.D he had united half of the Gjorkan Coast. However, he was met by the rapidly expanding Kingdom of Jor. The Kingdom of Jor expanded via diplomacy and intermarriage uniting and expanding their kingdom. This allowed them to produce a much larger army than that of Gior. Despite this Josias managed to win several key battles against the Jor, and seemed as if their defeat was inevitable. During the Battle of Éire River, Josias made a bold move by retreating from his left flank and using the additional troops to pacify the center. All of this hinged on his reserves making it to the battle in time to stop the advancing Jor on the left flank. Unfortunately, the reserves never arrived as their commander went off to pillage a local town. With this much of Josias's army was encircled, and death was inevitable. He however managed to escape with 1/4 of his original force and flee back to safety. Thus catastrophic defeat meant Jor numerical superiority was simply too much too overcome. The war lasted another 20 years and ended after Josias died of Cancer in 620 A.D. His son, King Wittlekind, was able to negotiate a treaty with the Kingdom of Jor. The two states unified into the Kingdom of Gjorka. Since the Decree of 550, the Inner Kingdom had been stagnant. Their armies had been reduced drastically, and the economy hadn't been growing for years. The 1st Unification War was a swift one. In one year, the Inner Kingdom was defeated. For the first time, Gjorka was united.
