The Yajawil of Barriset, also known as Mutulese Barriset, B'aatz, or B'aatz Yajawil, was a Mutulese province including the entirety of Barriset Island, in the Ozeros Sea. It was formed after the fall of the Iifae Caliphate of Barriset to oppose the Second Iifae Holy War for Barriset and protect the Mutuleses interests in the region. It was directly placed under the K'uhul Ajaw authority, with the B'atz Yajaw serving as his representative and governor of the island.
History
First Mutuleses Establishments
First Holy War and Caliphate
Second Holy War
Population in the Mutuleses Concessions grew quickly after the establishment of the Caliphate. Oxidentaleses remained a rare sight, but many Barrisetis emigrated to find work as dockers, shop-owners, or sailors. To ease relations with the Mutuleses, many of the wealthier traders who had regular contact with them converted to the White Path, alongside most of the inhabitants of the Concessions. This is when the first sizeable K'uh Nahs were erected.
Religious tensions between the Iifae and the White Pilgrims started to emerge during this period, leading to criticism toward the Caliphate for leaving too much freedom to the Nuk Nahob. In 1649, the Caliph made some attempt to limit the growth of the White Path, such as making |Iifae the only religion openly practicable outside of the Concessions, with the flux of people in and out of these districts being now closely monitored by the Caliph. This sparkled an outrage from the Mutuleses traders who raised the number of Tulotairi militias and warships present in Barriset as a form of protest, alongside diplomatic lobbying to get the decrees redacted. By the end of the year, the Caliph had been forced to back down, abandon the controls at the Concessions' gates, and proclaim religious freedom all over the island.
After the failure of the caliphate to reign in the Mutuleses, parts of the Iifae clergy started to radicalize, openly calling for the departure of the Oxidentaleses, the crushing of "Those who turned away from Mesfin", and even for the overthrow of the Caliph who had been incapable of enforcing Yen laws. Despite heavy repressions, these imam-priests ended up annointing a "new" tribal lord as Caliph who began a new Holy War against the Betrayers and the Infidels.
The second Tabanaa started in 1656 with the siege of the Concessions and the assault on the Caliph's palace. Deathtoll numbered in the thousands after a week of violence, but ultimately the radicals were driven off the cities by the Tulotairi and the remnants of the First Caliph's troops. The rest of the Holy War was a long campaign of guerilla and counter-insurgency, culminating with the capture and sacrifice of the Insurgent Caliph and of most of his clergy in 1661, even if remnants of the Second Caliphate would continue the fight for many more years.
While the Nuk Nahob present in Barriset had organized themselves into Kuchkabal, they ended up electing to call for the Divine Throne to send judges, lawyers, and administrators to the island to takeover the task of pacifying Barriset, managing the island, and driving off the Iifae insurgents. In 1660, the K'uhul Ajaw proclaimed the constitution of Barriset as a Yajawil. The new B'aatz Yajaw and his administration reached the island, officializing direct Mutulese control over it.
