Easter Island

Easter Island is a remote island in the Pacific Ocean and one site of the Avalon World Tour.

History

Its native name is said to be Te Pito o te Henua; its more familiar name was bestowed upon it by the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen, who first sighted it on Easter Sunday in 1722 and named it "Easter Island" as a result. Easter Island is world-famous for its colossal stone heads, the moai, raised by its natives, which have become one of the world’s great mysteries.

Easter Island is the current headquarters of Nokkar, an alien Sentinel sent to Earth to watch over it during his people’s war with the Space-Spawn invaders. He arrived here in about A.D. 400, and befriended the natives, sharing his mission with them. They built the moai in honor of him, modelling their features after his own. After the natives died out, Nokkar continued to watch over Easter Island, alone, before meeting Goliath, Elisa, Angela, and Bronx when the Avalon World Tour brought them there, and still carries out his Sentinel work today.
