Mangai

Mangai is one of the six regions of the island Artakha. It is home to the Matoran tribe of Mangaians, who inhabit the many city states in the region. They worship the Elemental God of the Flames, Ikir.

Description
Mangai is a tropical region filled with active volcanoes, rivers of lava and many small city states and castles built by the Matoran tribe that settled there.

History
Long ago, the Great Beings created the world, filling it with Rahi. They later created a race of beings known as Matoran. The Matoran were granted free will and sentience by Ekimu, something Makuta despised. In order to appease Makuta, the Elemental Gods were created to keep order amongst the various tribes that had formed.

One of the Matoran tribes came to inhabit the land filled with volcanoes, burnt forests, but ritch soil. They began worshipping Ikir, Elemental God of the Flames.

Mangai has over the centuries had many disputes and argues with it's neighboring region, Ihu. The tensions are very high during the time when the Rahkshi stole the Mask of Time and froze the island.

Geography
The region is filled with active volcanoes, the most famous one being Mount Vakama. There are constant lava flows in the region, with at least one volcano active at all times. The volcanic soil is ritch, though, and thus very good for farming.
