The Brotherhood Tablet of Transit

The Brotherhood Tablet of Transit was a small stone, carved with the sigil of the Brotherhood of MakutaThe Brotherhood of MakutaAn organization of Makuta created by Mata Nui to police his universe and build Rahi, later seized by Teridax and turned into the instrument of the Plan that overthrew the Great Spirit., that served the MakutaMakuta (Species)Shadowy Antidermis beings and the Brotherhood's elite, Makuta commanded darkness and shaped the Matoran Universe's fate. species as both an identification token and as a key to the DestralDestralThe headquarters island of the Brotherhood of Makuta, whose installed teleportation technology made the entire landmass mobile and turned it into the most strategically protected location in the Matoran Universe. teleportation network. A bearer was, by the rules of the Brotherhood, an ally of the organization. No Brotherhood member or affiliate could detain a tablet holder for any reason. The tablets were rare, were never freely distributed, and were typically issued either as payment for service rendered to the Brotherhood or as a logistical necessity for couriers and informants who needed to reach DestralDestralThe headquarters island of the Brotherhood of Makuta, whose installed teleportation technology made the entire landmass mobile and turned it into the most strategically protected location in the Matoran Universe. without being challenged. The history of the tablets is also a history of the Brotherhood's debts: every issued tablet was the surface evidence of a deal the Brotherhood preferred not to advertise.

Form and authority#

The tablet was a physical object small enough to be carried on the person, and its single distinguishing feature was the Brotherhood of MakutaThe Brotherhood of MakutaAn organization of Makuta created by Mata Nui to police his universe and build Rahi, later seized by Teridax and turned into the instrument of the Plan that overthrew the Great Spirit. symbol carved into its face. The carving was the warrant. Possession of a tablet placed the bearer under a standing instruction known to every MakutaMakuta (Species)Shadowy Antidermis beings and the Brotherhood's elite, Makuta commanded darkness and shaped the Matoran Universe's fate., every Brotherhood-aligned Dark HunterThe Dark HuntersA mercenary organization founded on Odina by The Shadowed One and Ancient, contracted across the Matoran Universe for assassination and theft, and ultimately reduced to a battered remnant by the fall of the universe itself., and every Brotherhood-controlled RahkshiRahkshiArmor suits powered by parasitic Kraata, Rahkshi were Teridax's most effective soldiers and among Bionicle's most visually iconic early enemies. operator: the holder was an ally, and any interference with the holder was an interference with Brotherhood business. The protection extended specifically to detention. A tablet did not promise its holder safety from Brotherhood enemies, and it did not, as TakadoxTakadoxA Barraki warlord whose hypnotic vision and cunning made him dangerous even in defeat. would eventually learn, prevent a MakutaMakuta (Species)Shadowy Antidermis beings and the Brotherhood's elite, Makuta commanded darkness and shaped the Matoran Universe's fate. from killing its bearer if the MakutaMakuta (Species)Shadowy Antidermis beings and the Brotherhood's elite, Makuta commanded darkness and shaped the Matoran Universe's fate. considered that course preferable to keeping a deal.

The second function of the tablet was operational. The fortress-island of DestralDestralThe headquarters island of the Brotherhood of Makuta, whose installed teleportation technology made the entire landmass mobile and turned it into the most strategically protected location in the Matoran Universe. was capable of teleportation, and the entire surface of the island could be relocated on demand. Couriers, informants, and Brotherhood-aligned personnel who needed to reach DestralDestralThe headquarters island of the Brotherhood of Makuta, whose installed teleportation technology made the entire landmass mobile and turned it into the most strategically protected location in the Matoran Universe. could not simply chart a course to its last known coordinates. The tablet served as the means by which an arriving party could be authenticated and admitted to the fortress through whatever transit method DestralDestralThe headquarters island of the Brotherhood of Makuta, whose installed teleportation technology made the entire landmass mobile and turned it into the most strategically protected location in the Matoran Universe.'s defenders had configured for incoming traffic. The combination of an identification function and a transit function meant that the tablet was, in practical terms, the only safe way for a non-MakutaMakuta (Species)Shadowy Antidermis beings and the Brotherhood's elite, Makuta commanded darkness and shaped the Matoran Universe's fate. to approach the Brotherhood at home.

The League of Six KingdomsLeague of Six KingdomsThe League of Six Kingdoms was an alliance composed of various species, with ties to Xia and many other islands. Connected to both the Order of Mata Nui and the Brotherhood of Makuta, the League included Pridak among its ranks, and its members collectively held several powers of unknown scope.

TakadoxTakadoxA Barraki warlord whose hypnotic vision and cunning made him dangerous even in defeat., reading the odds, contacted the Brotherhood privately and disclosed the League's full operational plan in advance of the rebellion.

The Brotherhood acted on the intelligence. Its army intercepted the League at full strength, broke the rebellion, and sentenced the six BarrakiThe BarrakiSix warlords who built an empire spanning most of the Matoran Universe, fell in a single Brotherhood ambush, and spent millennia mutated in the Pit. to death. TakadoxTakadoxA Barraki warlord whose hypnotic vision and cunning made him dangerous even in defeat. was given a Tablet of Transit in exchange for his betrayal. The tablet was the receipt for the deal. Carrying it, he could not be killed by any Brotherhood operative carrying out the sentence on the other BarrakiThe BarrakiSix warlords who built an empire spanning most of the Matoran Universe, fell in a single Brotherhood ambush, and spent millennia mutated in the Pit., and he could be expected to enjoy whatever side payment had been arranged for his information after the war was over.

The Brotherhood had no further opportunity to act on TakadoxTakadoxA Barraki warlord whose hypnotic vision and cunning made him dangerous even in defeat.'s arrangement. He kept the tablet, retained its protection against any future Brotherhood encounter, and disappeared into the deep oceans under the Pit's jurisdiction.

The tablet as a record of Brotherhood debts#

The full inventory of issued Tablets of Transit was never recorded, and the three known examples are likely a small fraction of the total ever produced. Each documented case was the result of an exchange in which the Brotherhood received something it valued enough to underwrite the bearer's safe passage in perpetuity.
