Marlott

Marlott was a fortress village situated in the Nui Mountains of the Northern Continent, in the Fractures Universe. It was constructed during the Final Push as a location with which to safeguard the Kanohi Avohkii and was named after a deceased Toa of Fire.

History
Even to the present day, very little is known about the history of the region that would become Marlott. Initially, the land land was home to a group of Onu-Matoran and Fe-Matoran, who resided in the mountains in order to mine iron ore from the hillsides. Furthermore, the area was steeped in a rich agricultural tradition.

Roughly 45,000 years ago, however, the local hillsides were supposedly mined of their iron ore reserves and the resident Matoran migrated in search of greater mining opportunities elsewhere.

181 years ago, the area was stumbled upon by a wandering squadron of Matoran freedom fighters. Reporting their find to their battalion's leader, the Order of Mata Nui took action and began work constructing a covert stronghold on the land. Following the recent death of Toa Takanuva and the snuggling of the Kanohi Avohkii back into the Order of Mata Nui's possession, the fortress was used to safeguard the Kanohi. As such, several Matoran villagers traveled to the settlement to escape the conflict and to offer their services.

Swiftly after the settlement became populated, Toa Salu, Toa Merra and Salaak were dispatched to supervise the protection of the Avohkii.

Additionally, Turaga Autolycus and Turaga Haru joined the community in the hopes of establishing direction and leadership amongst the Matoran population. It was around this point that Toa Salu named the village Marlott.

94 years ago, one of the local Matoran, Jekkai, was given a Toa Stone under unclear circumstances. Accordingly, he placed the stone in the village Suva and was imbued with Toa Power. Thus, the village's three Order of Mata Nui agents took the young Toa's training unto themselves. However, Jekkai proved to be a particularly difficult student to instill knowledge in and was unable to gain access to his Kanohi or Elemental Powers for three years.

Geography
A prominent feature of Marlott was its village square, situated in the upper quarter of the village, and adorned with a shrine dedicated to the Kanohi Avohkii. In the expanse of land surrounding this area, the dwellings of the village's two Turaga - Autolycus and Haru - could be found. Furthermore, the settlement's court was often held in the village square.

The fortress itself was large and constructed of stone. It had several tall towers and complex architecture. Within the fortress grounds lay a small forgery, used by either Turaga Haru or, more frequently, Lugat. Additionally, there was a medical bay, which is often used by Pofia, the village's Fa-Matoran Physician.

The area once held a garrison of around ten Matoran and, before the Brotherhood invasion of the area, had never fallen in a siege.
