Qualterzaxym Island

Qualterzaxym Island is a tiny settlement perched upon an island of the same name located in the seas of the Void District.
== History ==
The island of Qualterzaxym was first claimed by a visitor to Quotro in early 2012, who built a simple wooden barn on the summit of the island's tallest hill. At this time, the area was very remote and isolated from the main urban centres, and the only nearby structures were in the now-abandoned village of Gallowpolistad. Since this time, other towns and buildings have sprung up around Qualterzaxym Island, Cliff Road was constructed behind the island, and the Daydream District was discovered.
The island was named after a single-player Minecraft world run by the island's founder prior to its habitation.
Original plans included a small town built in the sky above the island on a cobblestone platform, but low resources and lack of dedication resulted in the abandonment of this project partway through. Therefore, Qualterzaxym Island contained only one building for many years, with a tower topped by a huge, unsightly slab of cobblestone.
In 2017, a renewed effort to develop the island and bring it to official settlement status finally took place, and the cobblestone slab was replaced with a much more visually-appealing watchtower. Two further buildings were added, and the settlement was completed.At the same time as this development, the neighbouring city of Neighbour was also under construction on the mainland closest to Qualterzaxym Island, beginning as a modest settlement but soon growing to city status and dwarfing the humble island-based village.
== Transport ==
For the majority of the island's existence, it has be accessible by boat only. Its founding came soon after the apocalyptic ice age event experienced by much of Quotro, and many of the nearby oceans were frozen. This made travel fairly fast, and skating across the ice from Rutherford became the quickest route to the island (in these early years, boat technology was still primitive).
Over time, the Qualterzaxym Line was built, running underground from Kingston to Qualterzaxym Island. This made the settlement more easily reached by minecart, and now that the rail also connects to Neighbour and Atlantea, this makes Qualterzaxym Island even easier to reach.Finally, in 2017, a bridge was built across the thinnest part of the ocean, connecting with Cliff Road and making Qualterzaxym Island accessible by road for the first time.
