Ninjago

**Ninjago**, also referred to as **Ninjago Island**, is a landmass that was created by the First Spinjitzu Master after he left the Realm of Oni and Dragons. It is the primary location of the realm of the same name.

## Geography

Ninjago is home to very diverse geography, with rocky locations such as the Caves of Despair and icy locations such as the Frozen Wasteland and Glacier Barrens.

It contains a mountain range known as the Mountains of Impossible Height and another location known as the Floating Ruins. Two volcanoes are known to exist, one containing the Fire Temple and the other, Torchfire Mountain, having the highest temperature in all of Ninjago.

It has the Toxic Bogs (home to the Venomari Tomb), the Sea of Sand (home to the Anacondrai Tomb and the Lost City of Ouroboros), and the only known city in Ninjago, Ninjago City. Other towns include Jamanakai Village, Stiix, and Ignacia Village.

At the end of the Stone Wars, the First Spinjitzu Master banished the Overlord by splitting Ninjago into two different landmasses in order to prevent the Overlord from taking over. This action resulted in the Island of Darkness itself and the Island of Ninjago becoming two separate landmasses.

### Society

Ninjago used to be a constitutional monarchy and an empire. At its head was originally the emperor, but he had no political power and served purely as a representative face of the empire. The emperor is not marked with any special crown or headdress, although the female members of the Royal Family wear white cloaks and have a distinctive make-up on their face, while the princess wears a gold headdress. The main color of the whole Royal Family's clothing was green and their symbol was a lotus flower.

Slavery or feudalism exists in Ninjago.

Ninjago is the technological level of Feudal Japan, lacking electricity.

* there are some city codes, such as 54-1 "Wanton destruction" and 63-6 "Open flames in public."

### Currency

In Ninjago, the dollar is used as currency. Although, a symbol resembling N with two lines from the center is displayed on money bags. However, the coins do not look like dollars, as they have a circular hole in the middle.

### Holidays and traditions

#### New Year Festival

The New Year Festival is an annual tradition in Ninjago, celebrated in both Stiix and Ninjago City. During the festival, there are lanterns hung throughout the city.

#### Dragon Day

The Dragon Day is a holiday celebrated by the citizens of Ninjago. The celebration include a parade and decoration with lanterns similar to those used on the Day of the Departed. The citizens wear masks, as well as carry a giant dragon costume.

#### Day of the Departed

The Day of the Departed is a sacred holiday celebrated by the people of Ninjago. Once every year, the citizens light lanterns to commemorate their fallen ancestors and friends, while also spending time with their families.

#### Festival Day

Festival Day is a holiday were gifts are traditionally brought to people by the Gifting Goat. However, Santa Claus has also been mentioned several times, but his role in this holiday is unclear.

#### Other

An event called "Ninjago Con" where citizens dress up in costumes exists.

National Noodle Day.

Both marriage and the Yin-Yang promise exist in Ninjago, though are unrelated. "Papergirl" has a rainbow crosswalk, suggesting the existence of a Pride celebration (in the background of the episode, two men can briefly be seen kissing).

### Different Languages and cultures

Although the spoken language is English, it is not used for writing. The substitute for this is Ninjargon, which is basically a different notation of the letters of the Latin alphabet, and all the words are read in the same way as in English.

Ancient languages exist such as Old Tongue, Pyro Viper Hierogliphics and the very primitive dialect that predates the First Spinjitzu Master written on a gate of the Temple of Wojira.

Living languages are written such as Serpentine.

Swear words exist in Ninjago.

Different cultures have different mythology, the most notable example being the Keepers with Wohira/Wojira. One of the human legends of Wojira is that Wohira created the moon by crystallizing a bolt of lightning and placing it far above Ninjago. There also seem to be the vampire legends in Ninjago.

### Rice farmers

Rice farmers live a peaceful life outside of big cities like Ninjago City, in various villages with rice fields, like Ignacia Village, the village in the valley and the farmers' village. They wear only very simple clothes, live in shacks and make a living from hard work. Sometimes they are also oppressed by more powerful samurai, who force them to work in their fields and harvest for them.

### Pirates

Pirates live by the code of piracy and steal what doesn’t belong to them. Most pirates seem to have a song to sing. They use flags to represent to their crew, mostly use cannons and swords as weaponry and travel by ship on sea.

### Anacondrai Cultists

They worship the Anacondrai. Going as far to wearing their skulls as hats. The cultists believe that the Anacondrai are the most powerful beings to exist and they live by their creed that ‘only one can remain’.

### Monks

Monks are a group of peaceful religious people who wear robes live and work at the Library of Domu, take vows of silence, and are the writers of destiny in the Cloud Kingdom.

Many years ago, some of them lived in the Mountains of Impossible Height, but when the chickens attacked them, they evolved into ninja.
