The Ice Tribe is one of several tribes that inhabit the planet of Bara Magna.
History[edit | edit source]
Early History[edit | edit source]
In the time before time, the Ice Tribe was founded on the planet of Spherus Magna by various Agori and Glatorian with an affinity for the element. The Great Beings on the planet selected a Glatorian from the Ice Tribe and transformed them into an Element Lord who would serve as its leader. The same was done to a chosen member of each of the other tribes, which included the Fire Tribe, the Rock Tribe, the Water Tribe, and the Jungle Tribe.[1]
When Energized Protodermis, an immensely powerful substance that transformed or destroyed whatever it touched, appeared on the planet's surface, the Element Lords of each tribe each desired to harness its power for themselves, so a war broke out between the tribes over the ownership of the substance. This conflict became known as the "Core War" because it was determined that the Energized Protodermis was working its way to the surface from the planet's core. In the war, the Ice Tribe was one of the tribes that captured as many Energized Protodermis springs as they could and drained as much of the substance as possible. However, the tribes' uncontrolled mining of Energized Protodermis caused catastrophic damage to the structural foundations of the planet that the Great Beings found was impossible to revert.[1]
In 80 CMT, the planet shattered into three major chunks: Aqua Magna, Bara Magna, and Bota Magna,[1] but the planet's life continued to survive on each of these fragments thanks to the Great Beings' deployment of several artificial atmospheric shells.[2] The portion of the Ice Tribe that was left stranded on Bara Magna contributed to the foundation of a new gladiator-based societal system in which Glatorian and Agori would fight in arena matches to win resources for their tribe.[1]
Thousands of years later, the Ice Tribe worked with the Fire Tribe, the Water Tribe, and the Jungle Tribe to destroy another, unidentified tribe for an unknown reason. This ruined tribe became known as the "Forgotten Tribe".[3][4]
Desert Heat[edit | edit source]
In 100,080 CMT, a survivor of the Forgotten Tribe named Le Chiffre vowed to get revenge against the Ice Tribe for their involvement in the destruction of his tribe.[3][4] To this end, he allied himself with a visitor from another world named Blackout who sought to conquer Bara Magna.[3] Le Chiffre's wish was fulfilled when Blackout placed unstable hadrium inside the core of Bara Magna and destroyed it, eradicating all the planets' tribes at once.[5]
Modern Era[edit | edit source]
In 150,080 CMT, the Ice Tribe was restored to existence when Yon released a wave of creation energy on behalf of the Architect that recreated Bara Magna exactly how it was a moment before its destruction.[6]

At some point, he began searching for potential allies among the local population. They discovered a "Forgotten Tribe" of Agori and Glatorian, which had been persecuted by the other tribes for years.
