Tribiome Island
Tribiome Island is a region located in the southeast of Gamma in the New World.
The island was originally divided between three biomes, a savannah, an oak forest and an ice plains biome. It was given its name as there were theories that it was an island, before the Epsilon expansion showed it was actually a peninsula. I24 , I25 , I26 and I27 are located on the island. The MRT Island line is named after it.
History
Tribiome Island was discovered during sommer 2014 when the MRT staff was looking for seed to build the New World. Once the seed that would become Gamma was chosen, the New World MRT System's construction began. Nobody knows who gave its name to Tribiome Island but the MRT Island line, which was planned to cross the sea to serve the island, was named after it. At the time, it was speculated that the landmass was an island for its southern part was located beyond the world border and was therefore unknown.
When Gamma opened, minor settlements were founded at I25 and I27 but their owners soon became inactive and development on the island stalled. Several months later, Prempolis was founded at I24 by Duechapol but it was eventually given to mine_man_ and incorporated into their city of Elecna Bay. In late 2015, Fort Yaxier was founded on a small secondary island by camelfantasy, and has since expanded to the majority of the original island including the three end stations.
