Construction and form#

The jetty had just two parts: a lily pad, the building block used across Ga-Koro, and a short bridge joining it to Amaya's Hut. Three bamboo poles stood around its edge. (Mata Nui Online Game II: The Final Chronicle)

It had no boat slip or other working gear. It was simply a small platform off the back of the hut, looking out over the water. (Mata Nui Online Game II: The Final Chronicle)

The eastern edge of the village#

The region once fell under the domain of Teridax, though that connection did not endure. Ga-Wahi no longer existed in later records.. On the game's map it is as far east as a visitor can go.

Tacked to one of the bamboo poles was a three-line poem: "Blue sea... A Ruki leaps... The sound of water." It's written in the style of a haiku. (Mata Nui Online Game II: The Final Chronicle)

The Ruki is a fish of Mata Nui's waters. The poem simply records a fish jumping and the sound it makes, which suits a quiet spot at the edge of the village. (Mata Nui Online Game II: The Final Chronicle)

Place in the village#

The jetty's only neighbours were Amaya's Hut on one side and open water on the other. It plays no part in any of the village's battles; it's a small domestic detail of the water village. (Mata Nui Online Game II: The Final Chronicle)

End of the jetty#

When Metru Nui was rediscovered, the Matoran built boats and sailed back to the city, leaving the villages of Mata Nui behind. The stories don't describe what happened to the jetty after that. (BIONICLE Adventures 1: Mystery of Metru Nui)
