The islands were at one point in control of the goddess Marimbo, likely due to their close proximity to Ape Atoll, but they were abandoned. They were then rediscovered by the mad wizard Melville Grayzag in 149 of the Fifth Age and he began opening portals that spawned many void pests on the islands, which lead to the arrival of the Void Knights. During the Pest Control minigame, players are tasked with destroying all the pest portals around the edge of an island while protecting a Void Knight in the centre of the arena in an attempt to stop the pests from claiming the island.
