Versuva

Versuva is an island in the Matoran Universe, and the homeland of the Mersion race.

History
Versuva was originally created by the Great Beings to be part of the Matoran Universe. After Mata Nui came into being, he created the Mersion species to inhabit the island.

Some time whilst the Hand of Artakha was still active, Versuva was conquered by an evil warlord. In an effort to break free of his control, the Mersions sent a member of their kind to the Hand of Artakha's headquarters, in order to ask for assistance. The Hand agreed, and helped fight off the warlord's forces.

During the reign of the League of Six Kingdoms, Versuva was one of the many lands conquered by Barraki Takadox, despite the Mersions' attempts to remain neutral. The Mersions' were then forced to support the League by supplying them with soldiers and resources. Versuva was later freed from the Takadox's rule when the Brotherhood of Makuta defeated the League and it's leaders.

After the Matoran Civil War on Metru Nui, Makuta Dredzek was assigned to watch over Versuva after Makuta Miserix assigned the Makuta regions to watch over.

Recently during the war between the Brotherhood of Makuta and the Order of Mata Nui, a Mersion named Mersery returned to Versuva in order to negotiate with his kind. Whilst the ruler of Versuva was reluctant at first, he eventually brightened to the idea, and has since been supporting the Order's war efforts.

Landscape
Outside of the large cities that dominate the center of the island, Versuva is mainly covered by a large and rocky mountain range. Known for it's freezing temperatures, Versuva is usually covered in ice and snow. The island itself often experiences harsh blizzards and storms, making the island very inhospitable.

However, despite this, the center of the island is generally dominated by small, yet advanced, cities, which are known to expand deep underground. Because of this, only a handful of beings are known to populate the surface, whilst the majority of the population of Versuva resides underground. The only safe way to enter the island, is through the western peninsula.

The ruler of Versuva is known to resident in a large fortress that dominates the very center of the surface. It is highly protected, and is made from some of the strongest stone in the Matoran Universe. The isle's greatest scholars and scientists are also known to resident here.
