Kerris Archipelago

The Kerris Archipelago is a chain of Islands in the Matoran Universe.

History
They were created by the Great Beings as they were constructing the Matoran Universe. Shortly after this task was completed, they were seeded with natural inhabitants and left to exist without interference from the Great Beings.

The Archipelago was soon inhabited by various, non-native sapient beings, who set up institutions on it like trading ports, a seat of government, and homes.

The events of Out of the Ashes take place here, for this is where a Toa named Quake found himself on a particular day of his life.

Landscape
The Archipelago is a small cluster of islands, each little more than a half a mile across, at most. They are closely packed together, so much so that most beings can simply walk between many of them, wading through shallow water.

Weather
The islands are not known for having a very interesting climate, and are a moderate temperature most of the year. Still, there is not much humidity or precipitation to speak of, so the islands could be said to be rather dry if not for the ocean pervading their borders.

Ecosystem
The Kerris islands have little to no ecosystem, and presumably never did. The people living on the islands are almost the only beings on the islands, although a few random Rahi have made their way there and gotten stuck. Most of the Archipelago's ecosystem is underwater, however, and the waters are teeming with life.
