Welcome to Arga Minor
Hello everyone. Welcome to the land of ShadowShock. I will show you guys my MOCs and give away backstory and locations relating to The Arga Minor Chronicles (On YouTube).

Backstory
The timeline of the planet Arga Minor is broken into Pre-Fall, The Fall, and Post-Fall.

Part 1: The Islands and Inhabitants
After the creation of the matoran and before Mata Nui died, the Great Spirit used the last of his dying energy to create a last planet where he hoped the Makuta could not find it. The planet was made up of 3 large islands. The first one, Gira Kori was made of 2 large deserts, a few small forests, and in the center of the island, a small lake with a moderatly sized ice sheet in the center. This island was inhabited by very few matoran and about a dozen toa protecters. The second island, Teku Koru was made up of many large forests with winding rivers and a large beach. The inhabitants of the island believed in a Great Being that was unnamed and had no known physical appearance. It was said however to guide the destinies of every single thing on the planet. The third and final island was only called "The Ghost Lands". It was called this because every scouting party sent to the island found no inhabitants and was if they stayed there long enough were driven insane.

Part 2: The 1st Thirty Days (Pre-Fall)
The planet was full of life and excitement. Matoran were hard at work in thier small villages, the toa were busy wandering the islands and removing any dangers to the matoran. Below is a timeline of the first 30 days and the events that took place within the said days.

Day 1: The planet's liquid protodermis core hardens and the matoran above celebrate with a huge 3 day celebration.

Day 4: The celbrations end with the apointment of a chronicler named Tarruk

Day 5: All matoran jobs are appointed and work begins

Days 6-10: Work goes on as normal

Days 11-15: A few select matoran start mapping the planet, and eventually the rest of the universe.

Days 16-25: 6 scouting parties are sent to The Ghost Lands, all the matoran come back mumbling about some hidden tribe and are considered tainted by the islands.

Days 26-30: The Chronicler follows Shadowshock and his toa squad on an adventure to find a sacred kanohi. The results are very good for the toa as they uncover the Kanohi Khurens, the Great Mask of Beast's Strength.

The Second 30 Days (Hell Storm Era) (Pre-Fall)
After the first 30 days a choatic set of events happened over 30 days. The island was hit by savage rain storms, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, and undersea volcano eruptions. The Choatic period was later named the Hell Storm Era by all matoran and toa. The islands were left drowned and cracked open. A large sea volcano explosion under Gira Kori broke part of the island off and made a fourth island later made into a toa fortress used to protect important matoran later named The Chronicler's Rest. After the choas finished more than half of the matoran population started questioning the existence of a Great Being. This started a large 20 year long war called The War of the Islands.

The War of the Islands (Pre-Fall/ Fall)
Although most matoran believe that this war took place right after the Hell Storm ended. But the war took a bit longer than that to start. For a year after the Storms the matoran started heated arguments about the existence of a Great Being. About a month after the last debate soldiers from Teku Koru attacked a small village on the west side of Gira Kori. Below is a timeline by years of the events that happened after the first attack.

Year 1: Gira Kori soldiers attack 3 villages on the beachs of Teku Koru. In a surprising move Gira Kori's forces fall back after destroying the villages.

Year 2: Teku Koru starts using loyal toa in thier strike foreces. They take a small portion of Gira Kori's south-west end.

Years 3-5: Gira Kori uses the remaining toa including ShadowShock's squad to equalize Teku Koru's forces.

Years 6-10: ShadowShock's squad complets sevral espionage and sabotage missions. They only fail in one assassination that results in increased attacks on Gira Kori's forces.

Years 11- 11 1/2: A short truce is cigned but broken after soldiers find a solitary large pool of protodermis, war begins again.

Years 12-17: Many small skirmishes and invasions take place over 5 years and the Chronicler is killed. A new one iks apointed, his name is Rezahk.

Years 18-19 99/100: ShadowShock's squad sets up small bunkers at the pool of protodermis. They are successful in defending it form opposing forces.

Years 20: Makuta Dimentrex falls to the planet Arga Minor. The shockwaves cause the toa to lose their memorys of the war. Only 2 remember, ShadowShock and Nodahn.

The Arrival of Makuta Dimentrex
Durig the last day of the war a red and black comet fell mdown in the center of the fighting. The shockwaved caused destruction and memory loss. The toa that got to their feet were slaughtered and harvested for their parts. Makuta Dimentrex then placed the matoran and toa under his oppresive rule. He was never questioned for the fear of death. Two dark hunters also come to the planet.

Post Fall
500 years after the fall of Dimentrex 4 villagers have a daring plan. Kill the makutas guardians, find Dementrex, and then kill him and end his oppressive reighn. They are Korunga, Sriara, Icao, and Nodahn. They are later joined by more as their victories are heard of throughout the planet. The main events take place on Gira Kori.
