History

Very little is known about the history about the Tren Krom Peninsula, except that the land was ruled by Makuta Gorast, the Matoran Vultraz and Mazeka are native to this land, and that Toa Mangai Nidhiki originated from here.

Vultraz once raided a research lab that Mazeka worked in, and murdered his mentor in order to steal tablets detailing the results of years of research. An entire village was also once killed by Vultraz, in an attempt to receive an intact lava-gem. Vultraz did this via the use of explosions, which opened the side of a nearby volcano and destroyed the village under a sea of lava.

After several confrontations, Mazeka defeated Vultraz by kicking him off the side of a cliff. At the suggestion of Gorast, disguised as a blue warrior, he spread the word of Vultraz's death throughout the peninsula. Some of the local Matoran hailed him as a hero for killing Vultraz, but he himself did not. Later, Order of Mata Nui member Jerbraz entered Mazeka's hut and hired him to defeat beings like Vultraz and save their potential victims.

Mazeka and Jerbraz discovered a small village of De-Matoran, which contained Krakua. The village was shortly after attacked by Vultraz, who had been repaired by Gorast and was not at first recognizable, using a sonic amplifying device. Mazeka was able to rescue Krakua, but he lost in a fight against Vultraz, soon realizing who he was.

Toa Nuva Onua and Pohatu journeyed to the Peninsula to retrieve the Heart of the Visorak, which the residents had suspended in the air. The residents let them take the crystal after warning them not to let it touch the ground.

After the Battle of Bara Magna, the inhabitants of the Tren Krom Peninsula joined the mass evacuation to Spherus Magna. Later, the peninsula, along with all other locations in the Matoran Universe, was dismantled.

Landscape

There are Acid Falls located on the peninsula. The land is also known for its hazardous terrain and dangerous Rahi. Included in this terrain are incredibly sharp razor crystals, which can be found along mountain slopes. Some of these mountains are also volcanic.

Many villages are scattered throughout the Tren Krom Peninsula.

De-Koro

De-Koro was the village home to the De-Matoran living on the Tren Krom Peninsula. It was situated in a jungle on the outskirts of the peninsula, far away from other settlements, and was difficult to notice. Due to the De-Matoran's incredible sense of hearing, the village was extremely quiet. Toa were forbidden to enter the village, as Toa were believed to herald loud noises and chaos.
