Position and standing on Okoto#

Capital City stood as the foremost settlement of OkotoOkotoOkoto is a world whose known inhabitants include the Toa, the Mask makers, and the Protectors. prior to the Battle of the Mask Makers. It occupied a place within the Region of StoneRegion of StoneThe northwestern desert region of Okoto, home of the Stone Tribe and the Protector of Stone, site of the Battle of the Mask Makers and the Black Crater, and the territory through which Pohatu hunted for the Golden Mask of Stone., the territory associated with the Protector of StoneProtectorsThe six elders of Okoto's villages, each wielding elemental powers and guarding their regions before the Toa arrived. and the Stone TribeThe Stone TribeThe Bara Magna tribe of the Black Spike Mountains, organised under Skrall warriors and Rock Tribe Agori, that Tuma forged into the continental army fielded from Roxtus.. Although the City of the Mask MakersCapital CityThe former main city of Okoto, drawn into the Shadow Realm by the destruction of the Mask of Ultimate Power, leaving the Black Crater on the surface and a ruined court for Makuta in the dark below. was the residence of the brothers EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness. and MakutaMakuta (2015)Ekimu's brother and rival Mask Maker, who forged the forbidden Mask of Ultimate Power and was sealed in the Shadow Realm with Capital City. and the workshop in which the great masks were forged, Capital City held the political weight of the island. It was governed by its own chief, and the chief was understood to speak for the broader OkotanOkotanThe Okotans were the villager population of Okoto, six regional groups corresponding to the island's six elemental regions, who lived through the Battle of the Mask Makers, the long retreat into the lesser villages, and the recovery of the Ancient City after the defeat of Kulta and the revival of Ekimu. polity in matters that required a singular voice.

The city's standing rested in part on its institutions. A museum within Capital City curated an exhibition of ancient Masks of PowerThe Masks of Power of OkotoThe six elemental Kanohi forged by Ekimu and quested for by the Toa of Okoto, one for each tribal element: Fire, Water, Stone, Jungle, Ice, and Earth., drawn from the long history of mask-craft on OkotoOkotoOkoto is a world whose known inhabitants include the Toa, the Mask makers, and the Protectors.. The exhibition was the public face of the city's role as a steward of OkotanOkotanThe Okotans were the villager population of Okoto, six regional groups corresponding to the island's six elemental regions, who lived through the Battle of the Mask Makers, the long retreat into the lesser villages, and the recovery of the Ancient City after the defeat of Kulta and the revival of Ekimu. heritage and as the meeting ground for the regional ProtectorsProtectorsThe six elders of Okoto's villages, each wielding elemental powers and guarding their regions before the Toa arrived. when matters of the whole island required attention.

Capital City was also home to a temple, the function of which would only become apparent centuries after the city's destruction. The temple contained the full text of the Prophecy of Heroes, the prediction that named the ToaThe Toa of Okoto: The Six Heroes Summoned to Save the IslandThe six elemental heroes summoned by the Protectors of Okoto, who recovered the Golden Masks, woke Ekimu, fought the Skull Army, and twice banished Makuta to the Shadow Realm. as the deliverers of OkotoOkotoOkoto is a world whose known inhabitants include the Toa, the Mask makers, and the Protectors.. The same prophecy was spoken in fragments by EkimuEkimu the Mask MakerEkimu was the legendary Mask Maker of Okoto, brother of Makuta, and bearer of the Mask of Creation who struck down his brother's tyranny at the cost of his own consciousness. on the day of the cataclysm, but the complete form was preserved within the temple walls in Capital City rather than at any surface site that survived.

The exhibition and the unveiling#

The events that ended Capital City as a surface settlement began with a state visit. MakutaMakuta (2015)Ekimu's brother and rival Mask Maker, who forged the forbidden Mask of Ultimate Power and was sealed in the Shadow Realm with Capital City. was invited to the city by its chief to attend the museum's exhibition of ancient Masks of PowerThe Masks of Power of OkotoThe six elemental Kanohi forged by Ekimu and quested for by the Toa of Okoto, one for each tribal element: Fire, Water, Stone, Jungle, Ice, and Earth.. The invitation was a formal honour appropriate to one of the two legendary Mask Makers of OkotoOkotoOkoto is a world whose known inhabitants include the Toa, the Mask makers, and the Protectors., and the occasion was understood by the chief and the gathered Okotans as a celebration of the island's craft tradition.

MakutaMakuta (2015)Ekimu's brother and rival Mask Maker, who forged the forbidden Mask of Ultimate Power and was sealed in the Shadow Realm with Capital City. chose the exhibition as the moment to unveil a KanohiKanohiMasks that grant powers and sustain life, they're the most vital artifact in the Matoran Universe. that he had forged in secret. The Mask of Ultimate PowerMask of Ultimate PowerA heretical Kanohi forged by Makuta of Okoto that contained the powers of all six elements and ruined the Mask Makers' civilization the moment it was worn. contained the combined energies of all six elements of OkotoOkotoOkoto is a world whose known inhabitants include the Toa, the Mask makers, and the Protectors., and its construction violated the sacred OkotanOkotanThe Okotans were the villager population of Okoto, six regional groups corresponding to the island's six elemental regions, who lived through the Battle of the Mask Makers, the long retreat into the lesser villages, and the recovery of the Ancient City after the defeat of Kulta and the revival of Ekimu. prohibition against placing more than one elemental power in a single mask. The breach of law was therefore made public in the same act that introduced the mask, and at the heart of the city whose chief had invited him.

The unveiling was attended not only by MakutaMakuta (2015)Ekimu's brother and rival Mask Maker, who forged the forbidden Mask of Ultimate Power and was sealed in the Shadow Realm with Capital City. and the chief but by the city's inhabitants in numbers commensurate with the public significance of the exhibition.

The mask's power proved at once to be more than a wearer could contain. The crowd of citizens, the chief, MakutaMakuta (2015)Ekimu's brother and rival Mask Maker, who forged the forbidden Mask of Ultimate Power and was sealed in the Shadow Realm with Capital City., and the arriving party were all within the radius of what followed.

He used the Hammer of PowerHammer of PowerThe Hammer of Power is a weapon wielded by Ekimu, capable of creating as well as melee and ranged combat. In its powered-up form, the hammer manifests as light, its colors intact., his own tool, to strike the mask from his brother's face. The mask shattered. The release of its combined elemental energies opened a rift in the fabric of Capital City, and the rift drew the whole of the city downward.

The transit was total. The city's buildings, the museum, the temple of the prophecy, the chief, MakutaMakuta (2015)Ekimu's brother and rival Mask Maker, who forged the forbidden Mask of Ultimate Power and was sealed in the Shadow Realm with Capital City., and the many inhabitants present at the exhibition were all carried out of OkotoOkotoOkoto is a world whose known inhabitants include the Toa, the Mask makers, and the Protectors. and into the Shadow RealmShadow DimensionAn alternate dimension sealed forever after Makuta was pulled in by the Mask of Ultimate Power's destruction, then trapped by the Toa's combined elemental assault..

Capital City, by contrast, was not recovered. It was not buried. It had simply gone.

The city in the Shadow Realm#

In the centuries that followed MakutaMakuta (2015)Ekimu's brother and rival Mask Maker, who forged the forbidden Mask of Ultimate Power and was sealed in the Shadow Realm with Capital City.'s imprisonment, the ruined Capital City did not remain an empty husk. The denizens of the Shadow RealmShadow DimensionAn alternate dimension sealed forever after Makuta was pulled in by the Mask of Ultimate Power's destruction, then trapped by the Toa's combined elemental assault. made it their home, and the city became the seat of MakutaMakuta (2015)Ekimu's brother and rival Mask Maker, who forged the forbidden Mask of Ultimate Power and was sealed in the Shadow Realm with Capital City.'s court in his place of confinement. The chief of Capital City and the citizens who had been drawn into the rift, if any survived the transit, became subjects of the Shadow Realm rather than of OkotoOkotoOkoto is a world whose known inhabitants include the Toa, the Mask makers, and the Protectors..

The city became the location at which MakutaMakuta (2015)Ekimu's brother and rival Mask Maker, who forged the forbidden Mask of Ultimate Power and was sealed in the Shadow Realm with Capital City. gathered his minions as he prepared the conditions for his escape. The architecture of the original metropolis was preserved in the form imposed on it by the Shadow RealmShadow DimensionAn alternate dimension sealed forever after Makuta was pulled in by the Mask of Ultimate Power's destruction, then trapped by the Toa's combined elemental assault., and the temple that had held the Prophecy of Heroes survived as an intact structure within the city.
