Averax Palace

The Averax Palace or Averax Castle, is a large fortress, dominating the central area of Averax Magna. It is the current residence of Mata Nui, Skralla, as well as several bodyguards, and the council. The building itself has very complex corridors with twists and turns.

History
After Spherus Magna was reborn, several Agori, Glatorian, Skrall, and Vorox began to build a large fortress. However, with Mata Nui and the species from the Matoran Universe arrived, they worked on the project together. Once it was completed, Mata Nui and Skralla officially, titled as "king" and "queen" of the city.

A few years later, Skralla gave birth to Sakari, the future princess of the kingdom. Belirax and Kiina visited them to welcome their new daughter as well as explaining the situation going on in the city. Later, Skralla and Mata Nui left to visit Tuma in the coliseum since he was still injured from a hunt.

Later, Mata Nui returned to the fortress after leaving Skralla in the Healing Center in order to plan a way to find Sakari. After Skralla returned to the fortress, they decided to ask Agarax if he could use his power to locate the missing princess. Once he discovered their current location, Skralla took Mata Nui, Vakama, Dume and Belirax to the dream and met up with Sakari.

Afterwards, the entire kingdom was being threaten by the shadow entities, sent by Garaxial. As a final resort, Mata Nui and Skralla sent Belirax and Agarax to guide Sakari. Then, they went down to a secret chamber below the palace to use all of their magic to create a sereis of time barriers to protect not only the kingdom but the entire planet around. This resulted them to become part of the Mask of Time and were trapped within, waiting for Sakari to come home.

Once Sakari and the others returned, a battle occured within the kingdom. Sakari, Syaoran, and Syarix ran to the palace to find clues of where Sakari's parents were at. Eventually, they found the secret chamber below but Garaxial encounted and took the last key. Before he could stop them, Belirax and Agarax intervene and sacrificed their lives to give back the feathers to Sakari and Syarix, who in turn were the clones of Sakura and Syaoran. Together, the four along with Erax and Syaoran's team, the group combined all of their powers to defeat Garaxial once and for all. However, the Light Garaxial sacrificed his life too by trying to merge back into the whole Garaxial, but was defeated too. The palace has suffer some minor damage and repairs are going underway.
