The Abyss was a maze of tunnels and caverns inside the wreckage of the Mata Nui Robot. It served as the kingdom of the Demons in the Seeds of Madness Alternate Universe.
History[]
Creation[]
The Abyss was created during the events of The Fall. When the Mata Nui Robot collapsed into Aqua Magna's surface, the Robot's interior became mangled and partially flooded. In these depths, Nocturnus and the remnants of the Blackfire Knights gathered their strength and built citadels and mines in their new home, which they named the Abyss.
The First Abyssal Invasion[]
During the First Abyssal Invasion, most of the Demonic inhabitants emptied from the Abyss, in an attempt to conquer the surface world and to enslave the Matoran. After the Demonic defeat, most surviving Demons returned to the Abyss to await their master's return.
The First Era of Peace[]
During the First Era of Peace, the Abyss was the sight of heavy mining and construction, as Syverr pushed his forces to prepare for a second invasion. Some 2,000 years into the First Era of Peace, the Demons also fought off a raiding party sent by the Barraki, who had been freed during The Fall.
The Shadow War[]
As the Shadow War raged on the surface, the Abyss continued to be stripped of all materials of value. Also during this time, Syverr used one of the caverns formed by the Mata Nui Robot's arm as a laboratory, where he created the first Abyssal Raveners and Deathrippers, unkillable horrors tied to Nocturnus' life force.
The Second Abyssal Invasion[]
During the Second Abyssal Invasion, the Demonic armies on the surface were cut off from the Abyss when the Avatar of War collapsed the main Gateway to the Abyss. The remaining Demons trapped in the Abyss turned against one another and slaughtered themselves, leaving the Abyss uninhabited.
The Second Era of Peace[]
For the next 1,000 years, the Abyss became a wasteland, inhabited only by scavenging Rahi and the occasional being that wandered down by accident. About 700 years after the Second Abyssal Invasion, the Abyss was flooded with seawater and rendered uninhabitable to air-breathing beings, and eventually became the site of one of Ehlek's outposts.
