History

Epsilon Island, like all capital islands on the Midnight Ocean, is named after a Greek letter: Epsilon (Ε or ε).

The Epsilon Island monument is located near the southeastern "town square" area.

Epsilon is ruled by Vilya, and is reserved for Event Blockades.

Epsilon I — 2004-07-31, an event blockade was declared on Epsilon.[1] The war chest was lowered to one PoE. Due to technical difficulties, the blockade was moved to Gaea Island.
