The Merge

The Merge (also called the Coalescence) is a cataclysmic event that resulted in the Sixteen Realms and Ninjago combining into one. Although, without the usage of the Dragon Cores, the union of the merged realms becomes unstable due to the Merge's aftershocks, known as the MergeQuakes, which happen whenever the realms try to share the same area."The Merge: Part 2" The Merge itself also increased the amount of elemental energy in the realms, resulting in a formation of a new generation of Elemental Masters, who either been given a new Elemental Power, or an original one without a host.
==History==
Thousands of years ago, while the Sixteen Realms were still separated and Ninjago was just one realm, the First Spinjitzu Master, foresaw the Coalescence in a vision, in which all realms will become one. Knowing that it would occur someday, he sought out the Source Dragons and begged them to freely give him some of their energy. Once this request was fulfilled, he used them to create three special orbs called Dragon Cores, which is powerful enough to keep all the realms in balance, thus preventing the Coalescence. Though it stayed that way, years later, however, the cataclysmic event eventually occurred. The exact reasons as to why are unknown, but the Merge happened at a similar time to when Lord Ras and Empress Beatrix started draining large amounts of energy from a Source Dragon they had captured, which could have destabilized the Ethereal Divide.
===Aftermath===
Because of the Merge, all of the realms became one with Ninjago. However, the balance between them proved to be unstable, resulting in the MergeQuakes as realms tried to merge and share the same area. Many of the displaced inhabitants of the Realms found themselves with nowhere to go and formed the Crossroads."The Merge: Part 1" As for the ninja, each of them became stranded in different separate locations. Because they and Master Wu had disappeared and had not been seen nor heard from for a very long time, many believed that they were lost forever. However, a young teen named Arin maintained hope that the ninja would return.
This came true, when most of them would find each other and reunite, with the exception of Jay who's whereabouts were unknown after he lost his memories of being a Ninja. Unbeknownst to the Ninja, he currently remains in The Administration, which lies within the former Realm of Madness."The Administration (episode)"
