History
Once, Tenai was an island that seemed impossibly peaceful; travelers noted with astonishment the sheer number of species who lived alongside one another in harmony. However, under the rule of Barraki Ehlek, it was discovered that this harmony was an illusion: the island was in fact inhabited solely by the shapeshifting Funai species, who assume the forms of others. Seeing the immense danger posed by an island full of perfect spies, Ehlek ordered the population to be culled. Accounts vary of how successful he was in this endeavor; some say the elimination was complete, while others say that a great number of the Funai species were able to slip through and scatter to the far corners of the universe.
Landscape
Tenai is now home to colonies of many species, primarily Matoran and Gawalai, who coexist in a roughly amphibious lifestyle along the shorelines. Because of the island’s remarkable geographic position linking north, south, east, and west, it sees a vastly larger amount of trade than one would expect for an island of its size.
