Midway

Midway was an important island on the PrikPack v16 server which was positioned between major powers throughout the server's lifetime. It is most known for its role in the Massacre on Midway and the events leading up to it. After the Massacre on Midway, the island was no longer able to be claimed by any nation as part of The Black Peace signed after the Massacre.

Geography

Midway was a medium-sized island covered in forest, located between the larger Scæþing Island and the former location of the Magical Empire. On the south end of the island, there was a gravel peninsula that was transformed into a villager city by Scæþing following the Scæþing Punitive War. Beneath the surface of the island, there was a massive naturally generated dungeon system that contained high level enchanted diamond loot, discovered by Cflip_ and jusipat. On the northern side of the island, there was a small naturally generated shack that was mostly destroyed by a wither battle.

History

Midway island was ignored for most of the early history of the server, until the Scæþing Punitive War when jusipat built a small forward operating base on the southern gravel tip of the island. After the war ended, this small base was gradually expanded into a full-fledged villager city. The Magical Empire also built its own villager city on the central east side of the island, escalating tensions between the two empires. At some point, the Magical Empire also fought the Wither on the north end of Midway since it was far away from their base, which ravaged the landscape.

Tensions between the two occupants eventually exploded into a full-blown war when Scæþing suddenly occupied the Magical Empire's city on Midway island. This unleashed the wrath of baconpancakes36 and both towns on the island were destroyed and left to ruin. After the peace deal was signed, Midway was to never be claimed by any faction again. Much later, Tianchao had vague plans to claim the island when it felt ready to fight the "final boss" of the server, but these plans never came to fruition.
