Hey guys, let’s NOT go off topic for debates like this. Like, this has nothing to do with 2015. At all.

Random question:
Do we know why Ekimu and Makuta chose the Region of Water as the area to set up the Forge?
I just find it interesting.
They could have set up this city in the middle of Okoto (as originally thought by the fans of G2), making it more convenient for the Mask Makers to retrieve materials of the six elements to create the Masks of Power.
But they chose the Region of Water…why?
Did something happen there in the past that is important to Okotan history?
Thoughts?
EDIT: Do the BOOKS say anything at all? Any clues as to why?

See this is where there’s a contradiction between the books and the animations. Ekimu and Makuta would have no reason to make different looking masks, because before the Great Cataclysm, all villagers looked the same, because everything was jungle. There would be no reason for them to wear separate armor, seeing as they’d all be in the same environment.
(Unless we’re considering the different colors of villager different races. That would make some sense)
####However! We do have the graphic novel coming out soon, which promises to be a prequel of sorts! Maybe we’ll learn more from that?

Everything may have been Jungle, but just as there are elemental creatures each villager has his or her own element as well. The population might have been united, but they were not one. There isn’t a rule against having a different element, or being somewhere that is made up of a different element than your own. The various Okotans aren’t shriveling up or changing elements just because they were removed from their elemental regions after moving to the City of the Mask Makers after all.

It never really states that the Mask of Creation and the Mask of Control were made by Ekimu and Makuta, does it?
They just… had them.
Remember, only the power of the Mask of Creation allows Ekimu to create Masks of Power.
So how could Ekimu make the Mask of Creation if that is the specific mask he needs to make Masks of Power?
Maybe this is where the Mask of Time comes into play somehow?

Well if we’re looking at the size comparison between skull warrior and villager… they may have. Are they even the same species?
Otherwise, you’re absolutely right. A more primal Okoto where the creatures were worshiped like gods, and whoever you worshiped determined your armor color, would actually be pretty sweet.
I like to think it was their (absent) father who made the masks. Buut that would pretty cool if it turned into a paradox.

The City of the Mask Makers is in the Region of Jungle, actually.

Maybe we should leave it a secret.
For now it’s a mystery and I like it that way. Personally I couldn’t care less if they revealed who made the masks or not. Like you did, we can make head canons, and that’s what I like about it. Plus does it even matter to the narrative? I don’t think it would do anything too different to the actual story.

I thought it was the Region of Water because that’s where it was on LEGO.com.
So where does it say that it is in the Region of Jungle (I want to know because that makes sense about the Temple of Time)?
Is it in the book?
Hm, they’re conflicting. BS01 says that BIONICLE.com places it in the Region of Water while Island of Lost Masks places it in the Region of Jungle.
Gosh darnit LEGO.
HOWEVER, in TJtO, when they leave the Ancient City it appears it’s surrounded by jungle.
So idk.

What if Ekimu and Makuta “fell from the sky” like the Toa? Having no memory, this could have been the life they carved out for themselves, also not knowing their past. Who knows? Maybe they were once Toa like beings and felt no need to fight at the time being, so they turned themselves into Otokains, basically.

No in RoSS they say that the Mask Makers were born.
Can Okotians naturally die too?
I assume they do. They have a bunch of graves.

You know, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense for the Toa to leave Okot to go on adventures on different islands, later on.

I think you’re forgetting that before the “great cataclysm” the entire island was just green and didn’t have the different regions.

I always find that odd because then why do you have six Elemental Protectors? And how did Makuta use all the elemental forces if it was only Jungle?
