White Quartz Mountains
From BIONICLEsector01
"It was cold here, even worse than the desert by night. More than once, the Sand Stalkers almost lost their footing on the smooth face of the crystal and rock. Although it made all three Agori nervous, they had to travel by day: it would be too easy to stray off the path in the dark and possibly tumble right off a cliff."

History
Over 100,000 years ago, these mountains and the Black Spike Mountains were ruled by the Element Lord of Rock. Battles of the Core War eventually made their way as far south as this mountain range. During one battle, the warrior Surel, who had deserted his post as solider for the Element Lord of Ice, was lost and presumed dead by his companion Gelu, who later spread news of his supposed demise. In reality, the former member of the Ice Tribe survived, along with his fighting batallion of Iron Wolves, who continued to serve and sustain him through the hardships of the mountains.
After the Shattering, the White Quartz Mountains region was separated along with other geological locations from Spherus Magna onto Bara Magna. Since then, the Ice Tribe has established itself in the village of Iconox, located in the midst of the mountains.
A small band of Agori comprising Tarduk, Crotesius and Kirbold made their way through the mountains during their voyage to explore the northern region of Bara Magna in search of the secret of the Red Star. During this journey, they were pursued by the Iron Wolves of Surel, until they met up with the ancient warrior himself. Their conversation was interrupted, however, when they became caught in the crossfire of a battle between the Element Lords of Ice and Fire. The Agori survived and continued on their voyage through the mountains until they came to the Forest of Blades.
After the Battle of Roxtus, it was abandoned and the main shelter of Iconox was dragged over to Tesara to combine with the other robot pieces in order to form the Mega-Village, unknowingly connecting the Prototype Robot.
When Bota Magna and Aqua Magna merged back into Bara Magna, they reformed Spherus Magna, and the mountains thus became a part of the planet once more.
Landscape
The White Quartz Mountains region is a large, geographical zone comprised of tall, snow-covered peaks. The region is rich in Exsidian, a rare metal on Bara Magna.
Elbow Peak
The Elbow Peak is a canyon flanked by two mountain ridges on both sides.
Gatherer's Ridge
The Gatherer's Ridge is a line of mountains located to the far southeastern part of the White Quartz Mountains region. To the west of the ridge lie the Hot Springs and the village of Tesara.
Inhabitants
Iron Wolves
The Iron Wolves are a species created by the Great Beings and are made of half metal and half organic tissue. This pack of wolves is under the control of the long-thought-dead warrior Surel.
Surel
Surel was permanently crippled and soon forgotten after a battle that took place in the White Quartz Mountains. Gaining that grave injury during the war, Surel spends his days in the mountains, having his trained Iron Wolves take care of him.
