    Century of Diplomacy
    Cultural event

    Originally slated to be the Century of Architecture, when the Disbord Civil War began and Disbord was annihilated by a super weapon in 1862 BGG, the Clans had an emergency meeting where they quickly changed the century to diplomacy. Kojark and Ruitis made a joint visit to Golar in 2 ME. During this meeting, Chief Gongsoo told them about the giants threat, and both countries swore to support Golar through the war. Contact with the Giants was never made due to the danger they imposed. Unfortunately, Demetris Kojark passed during this century, leaving behind his son Demus Kojark to become the new Guardian.

    Century of Exploration
    Cultural event

    Kojark begins to innovate in exploration technologies. Using information gathered during the Century of Diplomacy, they created the first accurate map of Dasani, missing only the island of Eldia and the Archipelago of Acht. However, in 130 ME, Eldia was discovered by Kojark explorer Barrius Maximus and reported to Guardian Demus Kojark, who gathered the clan leaders. A vote was passed to settle on the island, and in 143 ME Clan Lokdbeard sends noble Hystrin Fritz to settle the country, along with Barrius Maximus as his guide. Kojark decided an island would be impossible to dictate, and gave Fritz full control with the condition Kojark gets a 5% cut of their resources for the first 100 years. This would be the original clan leaders final vote, with the two dying during the century, leaving behind Bartun Hiltup and Hilda Lokdbeard. After their deaths, none of the original founders of Kojark were still alive.

    Century of Defiance
    Cultural event

    The Century of Defiance was a century of limit pushing, even for Kojark. During this time, the Desvlan Peninsula was settled and later declared independence from Kojark. When requested in, the Clans united once more in 394 ME, where the Clans vote 2/3 to allow them to leave Kojark. The first ever negative vote from the Clan came from Hilda Lokdbeard, who argued that allowing a Kojark settlement to break away from the country could lead to future separations, the Clans were already split culturally as is and did not need further encouragement to separate. Despite her protests, the vote was passed and Desvla was officially announced an independent state, an action Ruitis and Eldia both praised.
