The Isle of Tren Krom is the primary landmass located within the dome that bears the same name.

History

The island was created by the Great Beings during the construction of the Matoran Universe. The original inhabitants, the insectoid armies of the Eruo, were brought into being on the island as well, and inhabited it for many years.

Shortly before the Great Spirit Mata Nui was awakened for the first time, an unnamed Av-Matoran informed Tren Krom that he was being displaced from Karda Nui and would be relocated to another island in the Matoran Universe. The Great Beings fused Tren Krom with the island itself, giving him full control over it, but also imprisoning him on it. Tren Krom dwelt in a cave on the island and, as a result, the Eruo were driven away from their original homeland never to return.

During an expedition organized by the Brotherhood of Makuta to assess Tren Krom's power, Makuta Mutran traveled to the island and encountered the powerful being. After Tren Krom and Mutran established a mind link, Mutran was knocked unconscious and later awoke on the shores of the island, having learned the secrets of the Matoran Universe's inner workings.

Later, Order of Mata Nui member Trinuma dropped off a cache of weapons intended for the team Brutaka was leading to free Makuta Miserix on the island. Brutaka and the team traveled there, but were imprisoned by a forty-five forty-five-bio high stone wall which appeared around the island. Inside the island's cave, the team came face to face with Tren Krom, who informed them of his history and killed Carapar when the former Barraki attempted to attack him. He allowed them to depart the island, stating that their world was already too destroyed to continue to care about fixing.

After Makuta Teridax's plan to conquer the Matoran Universe was completed, Toa Nuva Lewa was teleported to the island by Artakha to attempt to convince Tren Krom to join the resistance efforts. After considering the matter and hearing from Lewa that he would do anything to stop Teridax, Tren Krom swapped consciousnesses with him, leaving Lewa trapped in his body on the island. Eventually, Tren Krom was forced to return to his body.

When Teridax was defeated, Tren Krom was released from his island.

Landscape

The island is little more than a piece of barren rock. However, Tren Krom had the ability to manipulate the rock to suit his own purposes, such as creating a wall around the island, or closing off the cave in which he dwells to outside travelers.

Location

The Isle of Tren Krom is believed to be the southernmost island in the Western Islands of the Matoran Universe.
