History

Stelt was created by the Great Beings during the construction of the Matoran Universe. It has since become a major port and gained a reputation as a hot spot of criminal activity and depravity.

The entire island is constantly on the edge of anarchy and total collapse due to the constant infighting of Sidorak's species. Voporak used to be a clan leader here, until Sidorak betrayed him to the Brotherhood of Makuta.

Inhabitants of a besieged island traveled to Stelt from Nynrah after escaping a tested Visorak onslaught on their former home.

After the Matoran Civil War, the Makuta of Stelt was assigned by Miserix to supervise the island.

One of the few things that the inhabitants do unite on is the gladiator fights, where they watch local warriors or slaves captured from other islands battle to the death. The Dark Hunter called Gladiator used to be one such fighter, until the Shadowed One recruited him. He was sent back as a spy in the arena, investigating rumors that the inhabitants of Stelt are attempting to reassemble Sidorak's scattered horde of Visorak.

Brutaka, Vezon, Spiriah, Roodaka, Takadox, and Carapar traveled to Stelt in order to acquire a Boat large enough to accommodate the group. Brutaka offered a trader of Sidorak's race Roodaka as payment for his finest ship. Brutaka knocked the merchant out while Takadox hypnotized the crew into jumping off the board, and then they stole the boat and left the island. The merchant rescued some of the crew, and was able to replace his boat.

Miserix later arrived on the island, and confronted the same person about the location of Teridax, tearing the roof off of the trader's shop. After getting no response, he ordered him to spread word of his return. The former Brotherhood leader then searched the island and found the Makuta of Stelt, who he threatened to kill unless he was told Teridax's location. The Makuta agreed, and after acquiring the knowledge, Miserix absorbed him with a Shadow Hand, killing him anyway. After Miserix left, Mazeka arrived on the island to find a Nynrah Ghost who had dealt with Vultraz. Mazeka defeated his two bodyguards, and blackmailed the Fe-Matoran. After being told where Vultraz went, Mazeka crushed the crafter's mask and left on his Swamp Strider.

Trinuma later arrived on Stelt after the destruction of Daxia. The Toa Nuva arrived soon after, and allied with him.

After the Battle of Bara Magna, the inhabitants of Stelt forcibly migrated onto Spherus Magna.

Landscape

The island is a desolate place, mostly due to the ruling species envy; whenever one of them manages to build any kind of structure, his neighbors grow jealous and unite to tear it down. The only stable structures are coliseums which the inhabitants use for entertainment fights, and relatively unimportant dwellings, such as a trader's house or an inn.

Former Inhabitants

The inhabitants of Stelt divided themselves up into a hierarchy, with certain species taking priority over others.

Sidorak's Species

Sidorak's species, a race of tall and powerful beings, were in control of Stelt. Its known members include:

Matoran

There were also Matoran living on Stelt, working as traders and merchants. They were the middle class, as they were not considered to be as high as Sidorak's race, but are not as low as Krekka's. Known Matoran include

  • A Fe-Matoran, who went rogue from the Nynrah Ghosts. He has a bad right arm, changes his name every few months, and worked out of an inn.

Krekka's Species

Krekka's species are the lower class, and they were used as guards and servants.

  • Krekka (deceased)
  • A number of beings who crewed a trader's ship. Takadox hypnotized them, and ordered them to throw themselves overboard
  • Two acting as bodyguards for an ex-Nynrah Ghost
  • At least a dozen members of this species who died fighting Gladiator to stop his rampage
  • A member that was captured by Skakdi, taken to Zakaz, and thrown into a tank of Energized Protodermis with a Zyglak, Vortixx, and the remaining Piraka, resulting in a new life form

Gladiator's Species

Gladiator's species were slaves and entertainment fighters on Stelt, and were an even lower class than Krekka's species. Known members include:

  • Gladiator - now a Dark Hunter
