The sinking of the village#

The beach village sank to the seafloor.

The sinking should have killed the entire population. It did not, for two reasons. The first was the airweedAirweedThe underwater plant of the Fields of Air whose trapped bubbles let the Matoran of Mahri Nui breathe beneath the southern ocean. growing in the Fields of Air, which the MatoranMatoranThe most abundant species in the Matoran Universe, chosen by Mata Nui to inhabit and maintain his cosmic body. learned to disturb in order to produce the air bubble that became Mahri NuiMahri NuiA matoran settlement that sank, survived, and was ultimately crushed beneath Voya Nui, leaving behind one of Bionicle's most poignant lost civilizations.'s atmospheric envelope.

The sacrifice was not needed.

Standing in the record#

The second was the sacrifice offer, which is the single act in his recorded life that was not strictly necessary and which defines the character the record assigns him. The third was the destruction of the lightstones, the technical contribution that kept the 300-foot Venom Eel300-foot Venom EelA Venom Eel mutated to colossal size by the defensive reaction of the Ignika, active in the waters around Mahri Nui during the search for the Mask of Life. from finding the city it would otherwise have devoured.
