Kendall Isle is an island located between Antican Sea, Herrin Bay and Pond Strait. The island is also known as Jaris. Nations claiming parts of the island and its surrounding coastal islands are Çakaristan and Nouvelle Alexandrie.
Origins and Etymology
Kendall Isle was added along with the rest of the Eastern Hemisphere in Series Three. In keeping with the policy of naming islands after famous past micronationalists, it was named after David Kendall, former Secretary General of the League of Secessionist States. However, it is much more commonly called Jaris, after the first country to occupy it and after the Shirerithian Duchy of the same name.
Landscape
Kendall Isle consists mainly of low hill country, with Jabal al-Mada' as the highest mountain. This mountain was formerly known as Mount Goldeneye, which can be found in Greagior's description:
A small mountain on the island, the first thing tourists comment is that it is shaped like a hawk's head. Right where the hawk's eye should be is a cave, which was once the secret treasure base of the notorious pirate, Tgaoth. A chance discovery by Andreas the Wise, following some ancient clues from a Shirithian manuscript led him all the way around the world to return here and find the treasure he had been seeking. While the cave itself is closed to the public for archaelogical reasons, nothing to do with moving tons of gold at all, the mountain itself maintains a popular spot to climb, and catch a glimpse of the same view Tgaoth must have seen before he burned Nafticon to the ground...
Furthermore, Kendall Isle is surrounded by scores of smaller islands.
History
Kendall Island was first inhabited by the country of Jaris, a nation politically linked to the Jacobite Empire of Cognito and Lac Glacei. During the Tymarian Era (2001-2002), a series of political wheelings and dealings ended up with Jaris becoming a Duchy of Shireroth, under its former leader Duke Joe Whittaberg. Its capital, Philban, was (believe it or not) named after Regis Philbin from the Regis and Kathy Lee Show.
The island was the center of the Jaris War between Shireroth and the Grand Commonwealth, but no land actually changed hands as a consequence of the hostilities. It finally left Shirerithian control during that empire's de-expansion phase in 2006, and was annexed by the Republic of Antica. Antica controlled the west of the island, with the east being occupied by Alexandria and Gralus. There was a time when the western half was Krasnarusyn, and the eastern half was Constancian, the Thema Oranjēsiōn.
In 1687 AN, Nouvelle Alexandrie claimed a strip on the southern coast and founded the city of Ijubicastagrad. In 1689 and 1690 AN, Çakaristan claimed the remaining part of the island. This was incorporated into the state of Kendall Khanate, first known as Jabal al-Mada'.
