Zakaz

Zakaz is an island and the homeland of the Skakdi.

History
Zakaz was once a peaceful home to the Skakdi until a renegade Makuta appeared on the island. He saw potential in the Skakdi to make great warriors. The Brotherhood member started to train the species in how to fight and defend themselves. The renegade member eventually left the island leaving a few Visorak in his stead to watch over the Skakdi. By the time he returned, all the Visorak had been killed and the residents in the north were fighting a war against the residents of the south, a war presumably started when Reidak destroyed a massive portion of a city over a minor dispute with local officials that escalated into a shouting match with the city's overseer. According to The Shadowed One, "By the time it was over, there weren't two stones left together in the whole city, and most of the population had fled." The Brotherhood of Makuta later banned all access to the island, one of the few things the Order of Mata Nui agreed with them on.

Geography
Formerly a tropical paradise, this island is now a complete ruin. Zakaz is the homeland to the Skakdi. The island has been desolated thanks to several fights among the Skakdi that have destroyed most of the island.

Trivia

 * Ehlek's native species made a home underneath the sea surrounding this island.
 * A ship from Xia recently arrived on the island, and dropped off a cargo of what can be assumed to be weapons. It is apparent that a group of Skakdi on the island had successfully made a deal with the Vortixx, and a shift in power on the island may soon occur.
 * Dark Hunters ships had been sighted around the island, perhaps awaiting the return of the treacherous Piraka.
 * There are a number of Nektann located on Zakaz which guards the city from incoming Airships or other air crafts, which makes travelling to Zakaz via air so dangerous.
