Stiix is a large city on the eastern coast of Ninjago, built atop the Endless Sea and home to a seaweed creature, amongst other stranger creatures. Stiix would act as a haven for Ninjago's scum and lowlifes, such as criminals and thieves, because around two hundred years ago, it was a famous holiday resort for the brotherhood of pirates. However, most of it would end up being destroyed after the Preeminent possessed the entire city in an attempt to devour its inhabitants' souls. The city would later be repaired sometime after the ghost invasion, but the incident affected the citizens, as shown when they saw Clouse.

History

Background

At some point in time following Ninjago's creation, the City of Stiix was built along the coast.

As part of their father's training, Wu and Garmadon traveled to Stiix, where they had a seafood dinner.

Tall Tales

The Tall Tale of Clancee

Clancee, a young aspiring Serpentine pirate, eventually landed a job at Stiix swabbing the docks. Later, the Misfortune's Keep docked at Stiix, looking to recruit more aspiring pirates as part of its crew, attracting a regular human and Clancee. As the Misfortune's Keep left Stiix, Clancee was chosen amongst the two and assigned to the crew by Flintlocke.

The Tall Tale of Doubloon

While fleeing the authorities, Doubloon would be directed by a passing Chokun to Stiix. There, he would stumble across Flintlocke and Clancee and attempt to steal Nadakhan's treasure, only to be caught red-handed and transformed as a result.

Later, at an unknown point in time, the Teapot of Tyrahn, with the trapped Nadakhan inside, ended up in Stiix under unknown circumstances. Several years later, Ronin would also set up a pawn shop at Stiix, filling his store with countless stolen goods, such as Jacob's stolen sitar, the Blade Cup, a Jadeblade, and so forth.

Stiix and Stones

In an attempt to get the Scroll of Airjitzu, the ninja negotiate with Ronin over its price, and are eventually forced to find work in expanding Stiix by building more bridges further out into the water. However, after a fly messed up Zane's voice box, their attempts to expand the city would be reversed and subsequently halted. Later, chaos would ensue when Morro and the Ghost Warriors, Ronin, and the ninja all fought over the Scroll of Airjitzu.

The Crooked Path

After escaping the ninja with the Sword of Sanctuary in tow, Ronin would arrive back at Stiix and enter his pawnshop, which had been taken over by Morro, Soul Archer, Bansha, and Ghoultar. However, He would only be swindled and forced to keep serving the Ghost Warriors, and after being possessed in order to send a fake message to the ninja, would promptly leave the city.

Curseworld, Part I

The inhabitants of Stiix would go on to celebrate a festival until Morro unleashed waves of Ghosts and Skreemers from the Cursed Realm using the Realm Crystal. The city would fall under Morro's command, only for the ninja to clash with him in an attempt to rescue the citizens and stop the Preeminent's arrival. In the process, Ronin's pawnshop would be destroyed; Morro succeeded in bringing his master to Ninjago and banished Lloyd to the Cursed Realm.

Curseworld, Part II

As a result of the Preeminent's arrival, the ninja attempted to kill the massive ghost by destroying the foundations of Stiix with their Aeroblades in order to drop her into the Endless Sea below. To protect his master, Morro rallied the Ghosts to help the Preeminent possess the entire city of Stiix. Transforming the city into a massive form armed with multiple arms and legs, the Preeminent chased the fleeing residents of Stiix in order to devour their souls. However, when Nya unlocked her True Potential, she knocked the Preeminent into Hallows Trench, killing the ghost and resulting in the destruction of Stiix.

The New Ninja

A few dozens of Ghost Warriors survived Nya's giant wave and went hiding. Not long after, they tried to attack the city of Stiix again. They tricked Nya to go on the highest building in Stiix so it would be harder for her to summon water, but with the ninja's help, she managed to activate her True Potential again and destroyed final remnants of the Ghost Warriors.

Skybound

Infamous

The remains of the destroyed Stiix would be salvaged by its inhabitants in their attempts for repairs. In the process, Clouse, searching the wreckage, managed to recover the Teapot of Tyrahn and free Nadakhan, only to be tricked into wishing himself inside the Teapot. Later, the ninja would arrive there in order to find Clouse, only for the citizens to be noted by the news of the ninja's supposed crimes. Stiix's vengeful inhabitants, blaming the ninja for the destruction of their city, proceeded to chase them across the remains of the city, accidentally further wrecking it in the process. When Misako arrived in the Destiny's Bounty at the remains of Stiix to pick up the Ninja, both she and the ship were captured and brought down by the police.

The Way Back

Clouse, having had his memories of the events erased, was placed back in Stiix alongside the Teapot of Tyrahn, only to be driven off by the angry citizens. At the same time, several screens across the rebuilding Stiix also broadcasted Jay and Nya's reconciliation.

Sons of Garmadon

The Mask of Deception

The Mechanic fought Kai in the docks, eventually overpowering him with his flamethrower robo-arm, only to be frozen by Zane, who then told Kai that their presence was asked by Lloyd.

Dragons Rising, Season 1

Flying Lessons

After the Merge, a part of the city of Stiix, along with its civilians was moved to another side of the island. Eventually, the villagers found a wounded dragon that had the ability to pacify the Strangle Weed to keep the village afloat.

Dragons Rising, Season 3

The Big Clean-Up (non-canon)

Followig the chaotic storms caused by Thunderfang's release, the ninja visited the city to help the citizens' cleaning.

LEGO.com description

Commonly known as the “city built on water,” Stiix is a rancid and rundown coastal city populated primarily by fishmongers and vagrants. It always looks like it is one stiff breeze away from falling apart. Known for being constantly in need of repair and smelling so bad even the rats have moved out, it was the perfect site for Ronin’s pawnshop. Stiix was also Morro’s home base for a time and the scene of the Preeminent’s arrival in the NINJAGO realm.

Trivia

• The name of the city appears to be based on the river Styx from Greek mythology. In Greek myth, it is also known as the "River of Hate" and was the bridge in-between the mortal world and the Underworld (the place where ancient Greeks believed the dead lived).
  • This allusion links to its role in the show, as the city is the link between the realm of Ninjago and the Cursed Realm.
• According to "Curseworld, Part II," Stiix is a county.
• In "Infamous" it's shown that unlike the rest of Ninjago, the people of Stiix detest the ninja for their indirect role in their city's destruction.
  • After the ghost invasion, they have gained a severe dislike for ghosts, as seen by them attacking Clouse in "The Way Back."
• Stiix is "way out east" in the geography of Ninjago.
• Some designs from LEGO's The Lord of the Rings theme are used on Stiix citizens:
  • Aragorn's face design is used on a construction worker. ("Stiix and Stones").
  • Gandalf's torso is used on a civilian.
• In "Ghost Story," Cole mistakenly identifies Stiix as a village, even though it is a city.
• Stiix appears in The LEGO Ninjago Movie Videogame as the arena for the sixth Challenge Dojo.
  • In game, it is referred to as the "Ghostly Docks".
