Spherus Magna

Spherus Magna is a gigantic planet in the Wall of Stars. It was destroyed by a cataclysm during the Core War but later restored to its glory with the help of Mata Nui and Skralla.

History
Spherus Magna was originally ruled by the Great Beings for an unknown period of time. One of their first projects was creating a scientist named Garaxial, who would be their assistant to create various projects, however they later banished him when things went too far. Afterwords, they attempted to create a Skrall with various powers like that of a Great Being, but the project was too complex after making one, so it ended. Sometime later, two feathers came from another world which contained special powers inside. The Great Beings grew curious about these feathers and created two beings that would guard these feathers inside until the time has come for them to return the feather. The Great Begins later chose six random warriors from the fighter's class to become the Elemental Lords. These entities would become the rulers of the Agori and the various tribes. Around 103,000 years ago, a mysterious plague struck the planet worldwide, killing several Agori and the warrior class. A group of an unknown tribe was accused for the cause of the plague and was shunned by the Agori.

Afterwords, a silvery liquid broke free from the core of the planet, spreading its way up to the surface. The Ice Tribe discovered it first not far from the Northern Frost. However, the Elemental Lords knew that the liquid had special powers, so each of them began to fight for it, causing the Core War. As the war spread, the Great Beings realized that the liquid was causing a catastrophe to the planet. So, they revisited an old project and created the Mata Nui robot with the Matoran Universe. However, during the project, there was extra remains of a spirit that had no body so they decided to place it in their earlier projects, the Skrall and dubbed her "Skralla".

The war ended when the planet shattered into three pieces; the desert region of the former planet called Bara Magna, the ocean region of the former planet called Aqua Magna, and the forest region called Bota Magna. Aqua Magna and Bota Magna began to orbit around Bara Magna for the next 100,000 years. Most of the survivors were on Bara Magna however, it is rumored that some of the Agori and the warriors are on Bota Magna.

Rebirth
100,000 years later, Mata Nui, Skralla and Tarix discovered an ancient prophecy in the caves that there was a possibility of bringing Spherus Magna back, called "The Eclipse". However, the process requires great powers that only Skralla and Mata Nui had. However, it was also required that there was some device that would heat up the ground in order to prepare for Aqua Magna and Bota Magna to fuse with Bara Magna. The Real Stronius, who also knew about this kept the knowledge to himself and later was found by the Real Malum, who was also cloned. The two of them traveled to "The Kingdom Alternate Universe" in order to get the correct weapons.

Later, several Glatorian managed to host a meeting where they planned on how to prepare for "The Eclipse". However, Garaxial arrives with the Clone Malum and the Shadow Entities. The group managed to escape and the Glatorian and Agori divided into three teams; two to activate the bombs while a third group had to go to the Temple of Tesara in order to activate the ancient power. All three sides had to face a fight between Garaxial and his shadows slaves.

When Skralla and Mata Nui activated their powers with the Temple, the Triangle of Light was formed and allowed the celestial bodies of Aqua Magna and Bota Magna to reunite with Bara Magna, thus dubbing the event called "The Fusion". Around the same moment, Teridax in the robot of Mata Nui's Matoran Universe, grew suspicious at the event so he watched as he realized that Mata Nui was on the planet. The former Great Spirit managed to get his universe back after a deadly struggle against the Makuta and left the planet to gather the Great Beings.

One month later, Mata Nui returned with the Great Beings and reunited with Skralla. Together, they were titled "rulers" of the new kingdom, Averax Magna. Three years later, Skralla gave birth to a beautiful daughter who was later kidnapped by Garaxial. As a response to this, Skralla and Mata Nui sent Agarax and Belirax to go find her and return to the city.

Later, when Garaxial sent his shadow entities to invade the entire planet, Mata Nui and Skralla used the Kanohi Vahi in order to prevent the shadows from surrounding the world. As a result, they turned back their own time, creating a series of "time barriers" that covered the landmass on the planet, causing anyone living on the planet to be frozen in time.

Once Sakari and the others completed the tasks on the scroll, they returned to Spherus Magna and used the keys to unlock the time barriers. However, Garaxial sent the shadow entities to continue their task, chasing them all the way to the city. This led into a final battle in order to decide the future for Spherus Magna. In the end, it turned out that the world was saved as it broke free from Kotan World once the power of Averax was unleashed combined with the powers of Sakari and her allies.

More recently, however, due to the laws of time in the universe, Mata Nui was forced to leave, taking his MU inhabitants to return to the Great Spirit Robot in order to fulfill a new, perhaps a dangerous task. Later, Skralla took everyone into the land of dreams, where a final clashed occured between the Shadow Entities. When Sakari destroyed the Golden Orb, this planet has merged with several other worlds and the inhabitants has since moved on.

Parallel Universes
One known Alternate Universe is known; The Melding. Unlike in the core reality, Mata Nui was never built, the planet did not shatter, the Great Beings created Toa the size of a Matoran to go underground of the planet and to fix up the core and the "Skralla" of that reality was only a "simple Skrall".

Another known universe was when the Brotherhood of Makuta did not attack Mata Nui, thus the Great Spirit completed his mission and the world was already put back together.

Locations and Landscape
A number of regions were known on Spherus Magna. Various landscapes contained various elements that represented their corresponding tribes. After the shattering, most of the residents remained on Bara Magna and set up their new lives. However, after its rebirth, a number of new locations were built as well as the old locations restored.

Aqua Magna- Ruled by the Elemental Lord of Water, home of the Water Tribe. It developed into its own planet after The Shattering and was the same planet where Mata Nui crashed landed as a result of Teridax's Plan.
