Karzahni is the mythical Matoran land where lazy and poor workers were sent and tortured by its ruler, whom the land was named after.

[carve] History

An aerial view of an area in Karzahni.

Karzahni was originally intended as a place to repair Matoran. Then, the ruler was supposed to send them back. Karzahni was not very good at this, however, and rebuilt the Matoran weaker than they had been before, so he gave them weapons to help them defend themselves. After doing this, he sent them to places like the Southern Continent to live rather than sending them back to where they came from.

After the Matoran Civil War on Metru Nui, the Makuta Miserix assigned Makuta to separate regions of the Matoran Universe to watch over. The Makuta Icarax was assigned to Karzahni. Miserix chose this assignment because he knew that Icarax would not care about the Matoran who lived there.

The Matoran Jaller, Matoro, Kongu, Hahli, Nuparu, and Hewkii, accompanied by Toa Takanuva attempted to pass through Karzahni on their way to Voya Nui. However, a barrier that had been erected to keep all beings of Light out prevented Takanuva from continuing on, so the Matoran were forced to proceed alone. After a brief stay in Karzahni, during which they lost their Kanohi, the Matoran fled using six Toa Canisters that had been stored in Karzahni.

The Toa Nuva later traveled to Karzahni in pursuit of Icarax, who had stolen the Staff of Artakha. Upon arriving, Lewa and Onua comforted the Matoran and convinced them to travel to Metru Nui. When Icarax attacked the Toa, Gali unleashed a Nova Blast in desperation. Karzahni was completely flooded and destroyed, with the Toa Nuva only able to salvage Lhikan's Noble Hau, which had been taken from Jaller while he was there.

In the Toa Empire Pocket Dimension, Takanuva flew to meet, Jaller, Bomonga, and Kualus as they traveled through Karzahni when transporting the Vahi from Artakha to Metru Nui. The Toa caught Takanuva as a fake, but were ambushed by Lesovikk. The Toa of Air traveled with Takanuva with the Vahi to Metru Nui.

[carve] Landscape

One of many forges in Karzahni.

Karzahni is contained within its own dome, and is connected to the dome that houses Metru Nui by a series of mountain ranges, a large stone gateway, and a short peninsula jutting into the dome.

The location itself is very strange. The ground screams at every step. Other land features include volcanoes that spew burning ice and waterfalls that are made out of dust rather than water. If a Matoran is too lazy and sits down, the rock which the Matoran sits upon will turn the Matoran into a statue. These statues, along with everything else in Karzahni, have been destroyed by the Nova Blast unleashed by Gali.

[carve] Inhabitants

[carve] Matoran

The Matoran living here were all damaged or in disrepair. Many of the Matoran had lost their minds or otherwise were too scared to do anything apart from following Karzahni. Karzahni was also home to one of the builders of the Toa Canisters. Lewa and Onua later managed to convince the Matoran to depart the realm and travel to Metru Nui.
