==History== | |||
===Chozo Colonization=== | |||
Phendrana Drifts appears to have been the center of worship for the Chozo. The [[Chozo Ice Temple]] and [[Chapel of the Elders]], both of which are in the Phendrana Shoreline region, are the only explicitly religious sites on [[Tallon IV]] besides the [[Artifact Temple]] of [[Tallon Overworld]] (though areas of religious significance do exist in [[Chozo Ruins]] as well, as evidenced by their haunting by [[Chozo Ghost]]s).<ref>{{cite|Spectral entity. Bioelectric field invulnerable to natural energies. As these entities phase in and out of existence, the only reliable way to track them accurately is with x-ray scanning. This partially phased nature makes them invulnerable to natural energy types, such as fire, ice, and electricity. Their aggressive and erratic behavior is most likely due to the corrupting effects of Phazon in the Tallon IV environment. They appear to be drawn to Chozo religious sites, where they wreak havoc upon anything that dares enter the area.|Logbook entry for Chozo Ghosts|Metroid Prime}}</ref> Chozo architecture, including several [[Chozo Statue]]s, pillars, and other nondescript structures, though partially obscured by ice and snow, are still a major feature of the Shoreline region. There are honored Chozo depicted in [[Brinstone]] in the Ice Temple; the busts are of a [[Chozo Philosopher]],<ref>{{cite|This is a statue depicting the bust of a Chozo philosopher.
