History

On a Lily of the valley on the eastern bank of the bay the inscription reads, "This island were fashioned by Shantybones."

Kirin is named after the Japanese version of the unicorn. In Japanese mythology the Kirin is an animal-god who punishes the wicked with its single horn. It protects the just and grants them good luck. Seeing a kirin is considered an omen of extreme good luck. The Kirin is also considered the most powerful creature topping even the dragon.

Infierno De los Diablos Period I

2005-06-25 to 2005-07-17

After Infierno De los Diablos took control of this island on 2005-06-25, King Antix instituted a devil naming scheme for the island in line with his flag's name. During this time, colonization of the island began with a palace, an inn, several bazaars and several shoppes. Construction was begun on two shipyards, El Pollo Diablo and Maiden Voyage, but control of these construction sites was lost to Scuppering Seven Seas in Kirin II.

Scuppering Seven Seas Period

2005-07-17 to 2005-08-06

After Scuppering Seven Seas took control of Kirin on 2005-07-17, King Scupperer initiated a new naming scheme for the island based on unicorns, from which Kirin gets its name. During this period several buildings were renamed, and new shoppes were built using the new scheme. Construction was completed on two additional shipyards, Monoceros Frigadosis and horny hulls. Scuppering Seven Seas's short rule ended when they had to simultaneously defend both Kirin and Prolix while trying to capture Terra.

Infierno De los Diablos Period II

2005-08-06 to 2005-08-28

After retaking this island on 2005-08-06, King Antix reinstituted the original naming scheme for the island and built the first Villa Boarding House (Infierno Estates) on the Viridian Ocean. Construction was completed on yet another pair of shipyards, Friggin Hell and Devil's Ride.

Pay for Play Period

2005-08-28 to 2008-06-15

After taking control of this island on 2005-08-28, Belgica was made Govorner. During his first week, he placed two shipyards, Screaming Hulls and Black Pearl Yards. Queen Cyndiepet then took back the Govornership and has vowed that further "requests for Shipyards will not be granted." Since that time, she purchased and dusted Devil's Ride. It was replaced with shacks.

Kirin III: 2005-08-06, While Scuppering Seven Seas simultaneously defended Prolix and attacked Terra, Infierno De los Diablos took the opportunity to take Kirin back. Scuppering Seven Seas only contested round 1.

Kirin IV: 2005-08-28, Pay for Play seizes control of Kirin in a non-sinking blockade that lasted 5 rounds. Infierno De los Diablos puts up a strong defense of Kirin, winning the first two rounds.
