## History

### Founded

1573 (Izvelins only)

The **Izovan Warriors** (Izovan: *Ee-zoh-vah-nuh Wah-ruh-ree-oh-ruh-suh*), also known as the **Zovic Warriors**, are a group of warriors that compose the population of the Izovan Empire. They consist of the Izvelin and Zovelin Warriors.

## History

### Origin

The Izovan Warriors began after JEMCDLX Beta and Zeta swam across the Atlantic Ocean in 1569. They arrived in modern-day Brazil and discovered Rekethans living in the Amazon Rainforest. They started a group known as the Izovan Warriors, built treehouses with their nature magic, and trained the natives to defend themselves against Rekethans.

### Beginning of the Empire

The Izovan Warriors began to spread to other villages and built wooden structures connecting their treehouses. At this point, the Izovans chose JEMCDLX Beta as their leader and she was given the title of "Empress". She founded the Izovan High Council, which led the Izovan Warriors, as well as many other councils for the individual Izovan villages. The Izvelin Warriors were soon founded and JEMCDLX Zeta was chosen as their leader.

### Era of Culture

JEMCDLX Epsilon, who was living in the northern Amazon Rainforest, was attacked by a Poison dragon in 1583. He was followed southward by the dragon and ended up in Izovan territory. With the help of the Izvelins, he killed the dragon and established a new group of male warriors, the Zovelins. During this period, the Izovan Empire greatly expanded and developed. The first Izovan hospitals, libraries, and secondary schools were built and Izove officially became the capital. After many years of ruling, JEMCDLX Beta decided that the leader of the Izovans should be elected. Four candidates are elected every four years and one of them is chosen by the High Council and the founders of the Empire.

### Collapse of the First Empire

An Izovan village known as Heliconia Basin was attacked by Rekethans in 1585. This began a series of attacks that led to the fall of Izove the next year and the collapse of the First Izovan Empire. The remaining Izovans and the three JEMCDLX members retreated until reaching North America. The survivors who had not hidden in the Amazon Rainforest settled near Niagara Falls.

### Second Empire

In 1701, SKA was founded by the seven modern members of JEMCDLX. A few years after it was founded, JEMCDLX Beta, Epsilon, and Zeta went to South America, reestablished the Izovan Empire, and selected a new empress.

## Government

The leaders of Izovan villages are determined through elections. These elections also choose four candidates for Emperor and Empress who are then chosen by the founders of the Izovan Warriors.

Each Izovan village has two leaders who lead the village and can meet with the Emperor and Empress. Each village also has four overseers and eight council members to resolve disputes and lead the village. They also have 16 representatives in each village who can meet with the village leaders.

### Holidays

Once every month, the Izovan Warriors had a feast celebrating the quarter moon. The quarter moon was half dark and half light, meaning it represented the Light powers of JEMCDLX Beta and the Darkness powers of JEMCDLX Zeta.
