Powai Nui

Powai Nui was an island in the Matoran Universe. Many events that were not important to the main Bionicle story occurred here.

History
Powai Nui was created with the rest of the Matoran Universe. After being populated with Matoran, Rahi and flora, the Great Beings never bothered it again.

Seven Matoran explorers arrived on the island and fit in with the population. Dark Hunters were sent to the island with the intent of setting up a watch base, however, the seven new Matoran were transformed into Toa to defend the island.

After some time, Makuta Tetradon and Makuta Nephix arrived on the island. It was here where Nephix turned into Hysterix and Tetradon was put into a coma.

During an air raid conducted by the Brotherhood of Makuta, the Toa were hid inside a pocket dimension to avoid detection, where they remained for many years in a stasis-like state. Due to the fear and suffering from the raid, the inhabitants of the island scattered and formed small hideouts.

After the attack on and destruction of Leskya Nui, the remaining Leskyan Toa and Matoran travelled to Powai Nui to take refuge. Here, the battle-torn "colonists" clashed with the scattered "natives" in a geographically contained contained war. The colonists took control of most of the island, but the natives eventually deafeated their leader and decided to join forces with the colonists rather than rid them off the island.

Characteristics
The minority of the landscape of Powai Nui is montainous, and full of rock formations such as canyons, plateaus, deserts and distinctive arches. However, a surprising amount of the island is covered in an expansive hilly grassland known as the Feral Plains. By sea, the island is surrounded by many dangerous hazards such as jagged rocks, sharp reefs and near-constant storms. The island is also prone to disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes.
