Toa Fortress (Sentinels Alternate Universe)

The Toa Fortress was a stronghold defended by a squad of Toa that held the highly-coveted Makoki Stone. Following the Makoki Stones relocation, the fortress was converted into a general sanctuary for Toa based near or on the Southern Continent.

History
The fortress was built on a barren rock surrounded by Frostelus icebergs, directly off the coast of the Southern Continent. A team of Toa was stationed there and assigned to guard the Makoki Stone. Around 7,000 years ago, it was raided by Skakdi thieves Hakann and Vezok. However, they failed to steal the Makoki stone and were captured.

Soon after the raid, the Frostelus began attacking the fortress, killing the Toa stationed there. However, Lesovikk and his Toa team arrived at the fortress, killing the Frostelus and securing the fortress against any more attacks.

The icebergs surrounding the fortress were mostly obliterated and any surviving Frostelus were relocated.

Following this, it was decided that the Makoki stone was unsafe at the fortress, and should be moved to another location. Additionally, it was decided that the fortress should be converted and expanded into a larger base to increase the Toa authority in the southern reaches of the Matoran Universe. A joint effort of many Toa working together expanded the fortress to include living quarters for Toa, meeting rooms, training fields and rooms, and fortifications against attacks. Many bridges and platforms were also added around it to allow for better ease of access and safety. Once completed, the new fortress acted as a focal point and authority for Toa around the region, directing and housing them.

Several Toa teams made their base there, including the Toa Kotulsis, the Toa Aonalgin, and several others.

Several villages of Matoran were formed close to the fortress for protection, though they remained far away enough to not interfere or cause trouble.

Landscape
The Toa fortress was in a very isloated, empty part of the Southern continent. Most of the surrounding area was rock or ice, though the region was actually quite lively with tough forms of plantlife and Rahi living there. The area was mostly treeless as well, but large stone crags provided ample protection and shelter.

Rain was frequent there, as was snow, although the latter was rare in large quantities. Storms were infrequent as well, though they occurred regularly in close by areas.

Trivia

 * In the core universe, the Toa guarding the fortress were wiped out by the Frostelus, due to the fact that Lesovikk's team perished in that reality.
 * In the core universe, Toa Lesovikk viewed an alternate timeline in which his teammate never died and they saved the fortress, the same as how events took place in the Sentinels Alternate Universe
