Duel Terminal Storyline
In the Duel Terminal World, long before the Ice Barrier or Mist Valley tribe arrived, the Treebound Tribe was living in their Ancient Forest. They had loose alliances with the two other known tribes in the land, the formal Below Zero Tribe and the primitive Teneflare tribe. It was a peaceful time, no one had ever heard from something like war, because all three tribes had their own land and no reason to attack the others.

The Treebound tribe lived together with the nature in peace, their ruler being their Hometree. All Treebounds had a very simple way of living, except one of them, Treebound Rebel Birch, who had from the day of his birth a strong desire for experiencing adventures. One day, he left the forest by the night, much to the dismay of his friends, in direction of the Melting Hills, where the Teneflare Tribe lived.

After a few days, an army of the Teneflare Tribe invaded their forest. Being no great fighters, the Treebounds did their best to stand a change against their opponents and were able to hold them back, using their strong defense. But at the same time, another army, consisting of the members of the Boiling tribe, came to their forest from the other direction, after eliminating the Below Zero Tribe. However, the Treebound tribe got help from the leftovers of them and when all armys clashed at their Hometree, it made something that was sleeping in the deep of their world angry and First Ruler, Elemental Eraser appeared to clear the world from the fighting tribes, waiting for a true peaceful time to come to the Duel Terminal World.
