Ignacia[2] is a small village in Ninjago where the Four Weapons Blacksmith is located.
History[]
Prior to the series[]
Master Wu went to the village briefly to give the map to the Golden Weapons to Kai and Nya's Father, Ray.[3]
Sometime after this, around the time that Nya was three and Kai was five, Krux (who was disguised as Dr. Saunders) threatened Ray and Maya and said that if they didn't work for him and build armor for his army, he would go after their kids. While their parents were lead away by Krux, Kai and Nya played in the front of the blacksmith shop.[4]
Way of the Ninja[]
Master Wu returned to Ignacia in search of the blacksmith's son, Kai, and left disappointed in Kai's arrogance. Mere minutes later, Ignacia fell under attack by Samukai and his skeleton army. Nuckal and Kruncha trashed Four Weapons looking for the map to the Golden Weapons while Wu returned and fought Samukai, resulting in the destruction of the water tower. Nya was kidnapped during the battle, and Kai left with Master Wu to train in the ways of the ninja.
Weapons of Destiny[]
Nya returned to the village after being rescued, and when the ninja returned, the residents of Ignacia celebrated.
Wrong Place, Wrong Time[]
Lord Garmadon used his Mega Weapon to go back in time to keep Nya from being kidnapped, thus preventing the ninja from becoming united. The Present Ninja went back in time to tell Past Master Wu what happened so that he could help them stop Lord Garmadon. When the Bone Fist misses, Samukai orders a retreat and takes the Skull Truck back down the road with the other skeletons. Master Wu tries convincing Kai to become a ninja so that the future will be saved, but he doesn't want to go. Finally, Nya says she wants to become a ninja, and Kai goes only because she wants to. The ninja follow along to make sure he becomes one of them and unlocks the fire inside.
Secrets of the Blacksmith[]
Jay took Nya back to the Four Weapons so she could gather her belongings. The water tower had been repaired by then. Nya encountered Wyplash and three other skeletons in the shop and defeated them.

Rise of the Spinjitzu Master[]

Day of the Departed[]
During the Day of the Departed, Kai and Nya visited their parents old blacksmith shop to light a lantern in memory of their parents, who at the time were assumed deceased.
Soon after, Chen showed up after being revived by the Departed Blades and attacked Kai and Nya with a smaller version of his army of Anacondrai. Chen is defeated, and Kai and Nya leave to meet the others at the museum.

Trivia[]
- This is the first location seen in the series.
- Ignacia's landscape silhouette appeared at the end of the intro in every episode of the pilots and seasons 1 and 2.
- According to Tommy Andreasen, Ray and Maya most likely returned to the village after the events of Season 7 to run their blacksmith shop again.[5]
- In "Master of the Sea," Maya told Nya that she and Ray had work to do at the blacksmith shop, meaning they at least returned to the village after that point in Seabound.
