'Arbor 'Iland ('Arborese: Aagbogei-le ['ɐ:ɣ.bɔˌɣe:.lɛ]; Håmazát: Áx́båx́ijú ['a:ɣ.bʷɒ.ɣi.jəʊ̹]), also known as Arborial and officially The Protectorate of 'Arbor 'Iland, is a small, mid-continent volcanic island territory in Thasusa east of Spawn, located at approximately X1,350 Y-400. It is bordered by Myžariky to its west, Liauolên to its south, and its suzerain[1] Kabazat to its northeast. It is a condominium of Jutomi and KsãndraArkonn, established on May 22nd 2026 fakeworld time, with the former being the primary architect and the latter being in charge of administration, lore, and foreign relations. It is accessible by riding a boat northbound from the Liauolên station on the Cenrail Central Line, and is scheduled to have a small ghastport, but no roads or rail station.

Etymology

'Arbor 'Iland is a name with a somewhat controversial history. Explorers had assumed it a name given by contact with older speakers of English, altered to be pronounced by the 'Arborese. The name was assumed to be a mispronunciation of Arbor Ile, short for Arbor Island, on account of the fact that it's a small island with tall trees and treehouses; others thought it was actually a modified Arborial, hence its nickname. Others still argued that it was actually Harbor Island, and a few even argued that it was really a weird contraction of Harbor Highland, in reference to its rather large volcano. In reality, this was just an uncanny coincidence, and the name had no English influence whatsoever, as the local name Aagbogei-le simply means "the village" or "the community".
