== Background == | |||
The [[List of Minor Characters|Guild of Master Technicians]], motivated by the [[Xener]] and guided by the legendary [[Dr. Tinker]], are best known for inventing the [[Portal]] network, which used unstable magic and powerful [[Gem|Gems]] to create technology capable of passing a [[Funkey]] through the [[In-Between]], popping out at the other end of a linked Portal station. This transportation system revolutionized Funkey society and allowed for inter-tribe mingling that was previously unheard of. | |||
Greedy for the power of the Gems, Dr. Tinker pilfered the Gems of [[Funkeystown]], [[Magma Gorge]], [[Kelpy Basin]], and [[Laputta Station]]. Trying to escape with them through a master Portal, he accidentally created a magic feedback loop between the technology and its power source; the Portal network was overloaded with power, exploding every Portal simultaneously in a matter of moments. Dr. Tinker was split in half by the [[Gnomon Tree]] into two personas, while the Gems he attempted to steal wound up in four shards hidden in the respective areas they relate to. Funkeys native to each region secretly held onto the shards as [[Master Lox (Character)|Master Lox]] rose to power. Motivated by his hatred of Funkey intermingling and his greed for Coins, Master Lox took the opportunity to further sanction Funkey kind, ensuring the Portals would remain broken, locking game rooms so that only their respective tribe may enter, and unleashing Coin-robbing [[Henchmen]] throughout Terrapinia. | |||
During the events of the game, Funkey technicians work to bring Portals back online with what power they have remaining, though it is a slow process. | |||
== Effects on Gameplay == | |||
The Great Disaster is the in-game reason for the presence of broken Portals. Broken Portals are placeholders for future Portals that would lead to new content added in game updates; as new updates were finished, Funkey technicians would bring Portals back online, one at a time. | |||
[[Kooties]] were added in the [[Funkiki Island (Update)|Funkiki Island update]]. The explanation for their addition to the game is that these bugs are native to [[Funkiki Island]], and became overpopulated during the isolation caused by the Great Disaster. When the Portal reopened, Kooties spread quickly through Terrapinia again, dirtying Funkeys wherever they go. | |||
