Ihu

Ihu is one of the six regions of Artakha. It is home to the Matoran tribe of Ihuans, who inhabit the cities of ice built in the region.

Description
Ihu is a cold and mountainous region, full of high peaks, snowy plateaus and cold tundras. The cities of Ihuan Matorans are made of ice and snow.

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 cold mountains of Ihu, building snowy cities and magnificient palaces.

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

Geography
Ihu has a chain of very high mountains running through it. There are only few low-placed areas in the region, one being Razor Tundra, which borders with the desert region of Motara, also being the only pass between the two regions.
