Kovokha Nui



Kovokha Nui was a small island near the Southern Continent, which was known for its frigid temperatures and arctic environment, and later the strange currents surrounding the island.



History


Kovokha Nui was mostly uninhabited to begin with. At a point in time after the Great Disruption, however, Makuta Miserix appointed Makuta Vaarzin to watch over the island. Vaarzin later built a laboratory there, where he conducted experiments of an unknown nature involving Antidermis and Toa Stones. Soon afterwards, odd currents began to form in the waters around the island, although it is unknown if this is at all related to Vaarzin's experiments, caused by something else entirely, or simply a coincidence.



Not long afterwards, a boat containing a group of “fixed” Matoran from Karzahni was caught in the currents and dragged towards the island, eventually landing on the shore. These Matoran settled on the Eastern side of the island, which, coincidentally, was very close to Vaarzin's laboratory, which was positioned at the center of the island.



Not long after the Toa-Dark Hunter War, a small group of Toa and other beings traveled to Kovokha Nui, though it was not by choice, as they had also been swept off course by the strange currents surrounding the island. Seeing that the Matoran of Kovokha Nui had nobody to defend them, they resolved to stay on the island, becoming the Toa Kovokha, despite the fact that not all of them were Toa.



Not long before the Great Cataclysm, one of the Toa had a vision of the impending disaster through his Mask of Clairvoyance, and was able to lead the Matoran and the rest of his team to safety. Vaarzin, however, was not nearly as lucky. His laboratory was destroyed in the chaos caused when the Matoran Universe crashed into Aqua Magna, and he has not been heard from since then.



After the Matoran and Toa returned, they rebuilt the village, and life returned to normal.
