(See also: Gius Island colony) Originally inhabited by scattered bands of natives, related to the Mixtuptecan peoples of mainland San Patricio, the island of Joos and surrounding islets were used between 300BP and 150BP by Longerathian privateers. The first recorded expedition from the Old World, as part of the colonization of the New Continents, was led by Samuelonian captain Edward de Rivers, who landed on the island in 298BP. De Rivers returned in 291BP and established the short-lived colony of Stormshaven, near present-day Mizerti. Stormshaven lasted for a mere twenty years, before succumbing to native attacks and local diseases, while the few hundred surviving colonists were evacuated to Longerath.

  • (See also: Gius Island colony) Originally inhabited by scattered bands of natives, related to the Mixtuptecan peoples of mainland San Patricio, the island of Joos and surrounding islets were used between 300BP and 150BP by Longerathian privateers. The first recorded expedition from the Old World, as part of the colonization of the New Continents, was led by Samuelonian captain Edward de Rivers, who landed on the island in 298BP. De Rivers returned in 291BP and established the short-lived colony of Stormshaven, near present-day Mizerti. Stormshaven lasted for a mere twenty years, before succumbing to native attacks and local diseases, while the few hundred surviving colonists were evacuated to Longerath. Another - this time more succesfull - attempt at colonization was undertaken by Samuelonian Papaists in 128BP, under Lord Hugo de Gius, who founded the Gius Island Company. The settlements of Giustown, Refuge Bay and King Francisco Bay were established and flourished as integral trade stops. As contact with Longerath mostly ceased during The Plague, Samuelonian control lapsed and actual political power devolved to local landed aristocrats, who established their own patchwork of neofeudal domains, occasionally warring against each other over control of trade and land. The island was conquered by the expanding Empire of Mauretania in about 70 AP. Despite being governed as part of the Province of Zab from Nova Luxa, Joos had a varying ammount of autonomy under Dukes of the local noble houses. On June 299, following the Mauretanian War of 299, Joos became a constituent part of the Empire of Mauretania under Ordlandic Protection - despite opting-out of the protectorate on the 26th of August 299, joining Morania as the province of Gius, and rejoining the protectorate in October. Since then, Joos has been in practice governed as an overseas province of Ordland. On June 300, there were serious protests in Joos, after Ordland imposed an Ordlandic Army officer, John Glideswell-Oliveira, as the new Duke of Joos, following a local succession crisis. Starting on December 313, Joos has been claimed by the nearby Burovian dominion of Uudangwuu - although no actions have been taken to assert these claims.
