Xia was an island and the homeland of the Vortixx.
[edit] History
"The Mountain" was actually Mutran's "favorite sentient rock".
Xia was initially ruled by Pridak as the most northeastern island under his rule. He saw the potential for Xia to be a mass manufacturer of weapons, and set it into motion. The island would eventually become one of the largest weapon manufacturers in the BIONICLE world. The island manufactured weapons such as war machines that were used by the Barraki who led the League. After the League was defeated by the Brotherhood of Makuta the island began to manufacture goods for the Brotherhood, who soon became it's largest customer. Later Roodaka would use the Visorak Battle Rams manufactured on the island to overtake Metru Nui. Xia still had a deal with the League of the Six Kingdoms, but not one based on the island. Xia prospered from the benefits of doing business with the Brotherhood, and became greater than when Pridak had ruled it.
After the Toa Inika traveled down to Mahri Nui a Tahtorak (who Brutaka released from the Zone of Darkness) was terrorizing Voya Nui, so Axonn called on Botar who dumped it in the heart of Xia where it is on a destructive rampage.
When the Toa Nuva went searching for the Staff of Artakha they were told by The Shadowed One that he traded the staff for weapons and he would tell them where it was if they killed Roodaka. When they arrived (minus Lewa) they found Tahtorak battling the Kanohi Dragon and destroying much of Xia in the process. The Toa Nuva saved as many residents as they could and located Roodaka. The Dark Hunters are currently hiding there.
[edit] Geography
Unlike Daxia, Odina or Destral, the residents of Xia kept all of their sea routes available and clear of any obstacles. It could be reached by sailing out of the southern gate of Metru Nui, then steering sharply east and following the Great Barrier. Xia could be spotted about 1 kilometer away. Recently, Xia tested it's newest weapons on a nearby island, blowing it apart to prevent it from being an obstacle to any Sea Route. Unfortunately, this caused a few exotic species of Rahi to be wiped out.
[edit] Trivia
- The Kanohi Dragon was sent to this island after Lhikan's Team managed to defeat it, although the inhabitants now claim that they don't know its current location.
- After the Dark Hunters stole the prototype Zamor Launchers from a client of Xia, they were not allowed back on the island for a while.
- Cordak blasters were developed on Xia.
- The Dark Hunters occupied Xia after Teridax destroyed Odina
