Southern Continent

the southern continent is the largest land mass on the bionicle planet. it was located just south of metru nui above karda nui and morth of voya nui, it was much much larger than metru nui. it is in fact the largest of the landmasses on the planet.

history
the southern continent was one of the first lands on the planet. the island was created by the great beings with the very first matoran. one of the earlier great spirits formed ruled the island and made a newer form of matoran. this spirit was made with a lot of emotion so he would care for his creations and he passed this on to teh second form of matoran. the second and firsts eventually interbred making a very human like society of matoran. these matoran had more emotion than the matoran from metru nui and also could reproduce normally, also they learned about science and aged quicker being able to reach states of toa and turaga through age and even could die of age. after the creation of his matoran the spirit moved on to make more creations. he created zakas and the shakdi. he fell in love with one of his creations and took on a shakdi form to be with her. the great beings didn't realize since they were working on mata nui, but, the spirit had help give birth to toros, who inhereted great power from his father. a few tears later, when toros had reached a teen age, he killed his parents and became a warlord. as he aged he became more like a great spirit and conquered more of the existing lands til he reached the southern continent. for what happened there, go to the sintaro chronicles. in the wastelands where teh battle took place, an old matoran who was kept alive by the great beings, had built the artifacts for the great beings. after the great cataclysm, the continent was mostly unharmed except for voya nui. life went on and the matoran didnt may too much attention. after mata nui rose, the continent slid off of him into the sea, the toa managed to keep the island from sinking. to replace the hole mata nui left, the toa also made a natural planet core inside the planet and later went from island to island repairing each one encountered.since mata nui couldn't rejoin the planet, the southerners never saw anyone from mata nui or islands like that.

landscape
the island had many areas one for each normal element, each was huge. voya nui was, for the most part, the fire area. the areas for elements like electricity and plasma had areas slightly smaller and on nearer islands because they were often dangers to them selves and others. there was a larger wasteland to the south almost no one ever lived there.

culture
the ta-matoran fe-matoran and ga-matoran would often work together to make amazing masks tools and armor. sintaro was the best at masks in the whole island. the quality of the masks were beyond that seen on mata nui or other islands. most matoran to and turaga had many masks but most weren't powered. powered version of many masks were forbidden, but ignikas, avohkiis, krahkaans, guhjis, vahis, many people had masks like these but powerless. matoran of electricity would help run the machines and av-matoran, from karda nui, and de-matoran helped build and operate tvs and radios. things like this were very common. people of each element could have any gender and elements often interbred. due to breeding with mata nuians, the life spans were extended with many southerners. there was already av-matoran on the continent before the time slip. there were matoran of darkness but they were kept in the wastelands but during the time slip were eliminated with many other shadow matoran and toa through out the planet.
