General Questions [Questions]

If the Brotherhood of Makuta exists in this canon, would it stand to reason that a secret society that acts in the name of Ekimu or the Toa would exist? Something like the Order of Mata Nui in the canon.

Bingzak was a hermit who recognized Vizuna as the avatar of Toa Lewa, and Nokama was referenced as being somewhat of an advocate for Kivoda/Gali in spite of her lack of an “Akida’s Gift.” The Bible also depicted concept art for an Ihuan who resembled a G3 version of Nuju. Perhaps Nuju acted as a Grand Vizier to Izotor, and his father Matoro before him in addition to serving the royal family?

While on the subject of Ihu, there was talk in one of the podcasts about how Kualus and Matoro were from two different bra0nches of the royal family until Ceratavus (who was proposed as an ancestor to Matoro) took the crown. Suppose in a reversal of roles from the G1 storyline, lets say Izotor’s lineage is the “House of Ceratavus” while Kualus is of the “House of Strakk” (bonus points for the similarity to the name “House Stark” from Game of Thrones )

I think they talked about the idea of something like an order of Mata Nui. I cannot remember if they made it cannon or if it was related at all to the main story.

The other questions, I do not understand the main question. Hope someone else can help. Either way, they are gonna be added to the list until we get an official answer.

How’d Karzahni make the Elisians inside prison? How long before Ekimu VS Makuta WWE Showdown of the Century was Karzahni imprisoned? Was it even before? If Karzahni made the Elisians before he was imprisoned, he must have been imprisoned after the Matoran are created. So he must have made the Matoran before his brothers fought, and after Ekimu created the Matoran. Is this correct? In a recent podcast, (I actually sort of asked about this earlier) it was said that Karzahni was imprisoned the same way Makuta was. However, on a previous podcast, it was said that he was simply isolated when he made the Matoran, and whenever Ekimu and Makuta spied on him, he just looked going insane (imagine how fast he must have hid his work). So, he was “imprisoned” twice? I feel this area kind of needs some solidifying, it’s not super clear to me.

The Dark Hunters are established in the bible as having nicknames such as The Beast or The Bully as a nod to G1 characters like Vezok or Hakann. Many characters that didn’t have an association with stone, save for possibly The Trigger if we are to assume these are the G3 versions of these characters

So going by that train of thought, are the Dark Hunters all Po Matoran/Motari, or are they a pan-elemental villain faction? Think something along the lines of the Triple Threat Triad from Legend of Korra, except more of a sextet of elements instead of a trio

@odnanref101993 there should be a trash can here

I’m just curious, what parts of Oomatu’s map of Arthaka are considered canon? I know the geography, and the individual regions are, but what about more specific locations such as Mt. Vakama or the temples devoted to the Element Lords?

I have to ask a question here. Should I link to the time stamps in the podcast where I find the answers to some questions? Or just leave the format as is. I am wondering this because I found that I answered some interesting bit of the lore here, but the questions were never truly asked in this thread. I wonder how you make polls here.

If the answer is yes, I will need help finding some things. It proved really cumbersome trying to find a specific reference in all the podcasts. I still cannot find some.

Has it been established that the Rahkshi gained their powers as a result of their mutations? Or could they have gained their Rahkshi powers, but not their forms through some other means beforehand e.g. a ritual relying on some forbidden magic

I believe the current explanation is that their powers are a corruption of their original element. (The element going to the “dark side”). This would mostly be from Makuta’s influence slowly eating at them while they go through with their Brotherhood duties.

Yes, their powers are a corruption of their original elements. However it has never been established when they gain the ability to use them.

Has it been established whether the Vako and the Fire Spitters the same creatures?

The current story bible describes the Fire-spitters as “The Firespitter is a dragon-like creature whose nest is located deep in the core of the Great Volcano”(p6-7).

Vako are later described as “reptilian creatures that dwelled deep in the caverns of the great volcano”(p26-27)

In an earlier passage, there are references to these creatures as Fire Spitters:
“Narmoto, a Mangaian general, leads an unadvised attack against a Firespitter, which drives the creature into the mountains of Ihu.” (p22)

Later in the Civil War passage, Vako are described as:

“aggressive in nature but mostly harmless so long as no one got too close. It became apparent, however, that the number had grown exponentially and the volcano was no longer enough to sustain their increased populace.” (p26)

Which matches the initial description of the Firespitters in the Mangai section

"…Able to withstand intense heats and known for their rapid breeding cycles, the fire spitters have become a large nuisance to the people of Mangai. In recent years their growth has greatly threatened the city states, leading to a region-wide war against the rahi with efforts to rid the region of them entirely. " (p6-7)

Does that mean that “Fire Spitter” is just a common name for Vako, which is the proper name of the species?

I believe the two are synonymous, Vako being the proper name and Fire Spitter being cultural slang.

Yeah, they are the same species.

Thank god.
Well, the cast didn’t say that they weren’t when tgey covered tge Vako Nest…

Well, they were the same thing, originally. I’m not sure if they are phasing out the term Vako entirely, since they use it less and less. But yes, like the others have said, Vako would be the technical name and Fire Spitter is the common name.

Updated from the recent podcast.
I want to add little tidbits from the parts where this thread is not directly mentioned but it takes too much time.
Trying the link to the timestamp on the video. might break after today and might not be worth it. Let me know what you think

In the last podcast, there was a mention of Brickonicle possibly branching out into a more cosmic setting. Would there be any opposition towards bringing in villains such as the Bohrok into the universe as some sort of alien threat?

We all know that Brickonicle as we know it now will change. So I am not sure how this thread will continue and how it will change according to that.

Either way, I will continue to maintain the thread and edit the main post with unanswered and answered questions. I hope Brickonicle continues to live on in one form or another, even if the podcast format was flawed, it was a useful way to keep track of the information and answer questions posted by the community.

Either way, I guess the question I now have is, will Brickonicle continue as a cooperative proyect between several cast members? or will one member will take charge of the entire universe?

I’m assuming it’ll just go back to being part of the podcast, but it’s definitely still continuing.

Maybe it’ll just be a Boards thing…
