Formerly governed by Toa-Protector Antrim, The Massif is a place of reflection and peace located in the hills between the steamy swamps of Le-Wahi and Ko-Wahi's alps. Upon Lord Antrim's murder at the hands of Ambages, protectorship of the minor realm fell to the redeemed toa Brykon, while day-to-day leadership of the monastery and its town was taken over by a council of villagers.

It is temperate in climate and has clashing weather currents; the warm air below, the cold air above, and the breezes from the sea all mix to produce unstable and often misty weather. The area is almost always blanketed with fog. There are no trees - grasses are the only vegetation, and the greenery is well-nourished with fertile soil and abundant water. The Massif itself is a huge dome of rock, capped with sod and grass, which shelters the village that takes its name. The village is little more than a cluster of huts around Antrim's tower.  Atop the crest of the great hill is a stone monastery, containing a shrine to Mata Nui and the Three Virtues.
