I don't disagree that a village of air matoran would naturally be called the villiage of air, haha, but what I mean is why would the region of Le Wahi be called that and not Bo Wahi? Why call a huge jungle the "region of air" rather than the "region of the green." In universe I mean. From our perspective we naturally have no reason to have called it Bo because it wasn't a thing yet. But in universe, what reason might there be? Just cause Matau?

Anyone have an idea why Le-Wahi on Mata-Nui would have been called Le-Wahi when it's more a region of The Green? Wouldn't it be more aptly named Bo-Wahi and Le-Koro? I know on some level we're dealing with Matau here who gets to name things as he pleases, and it's not surprising he would call it Le-Wahi even with the plantlife, but is there any better explanation people might have?

They just exist, at some point get the means to summon the toa, and later on use it. I guess?

Crackpot theory on how Greg's unfinished serials could have been intended to end and bridged the gap into Gen 2. Ok so what do we know before the serials ended? We have a less than stable Great Being who has seen what his species' creations really were capable of doing, namely creating distraction, chaos, and misery. We have the Vahi going somewhere, and I think someone mentioned at some point that Vohporak is working with said Great Being, right? Even if not, the mask is on the move. We also have a fortress for the Golden Fusion sitting around. And we have, somewhat less directly related to the serials, the need for Vakama's past self to have a message received from a modern Toa of Sonics. Now let's string these pieces together. Long story short, Velika's plan isn't just to kill off the strongest beings on Spherus Magna. That's merely to keep them from interfering with his real plan: altering time itself. Velika has seen firsthand some of the worst parts of his creation, one that was meant to undo the harm inflicted by his people's uncaring attitude twords the Agori and Glatorian. Consequently, he wants to undo it all. Velika, as a great being, has a more intimate knowledge of Kanohi (as we saw when a great being froze Vezon's mask preventing him from leaving one of the alternate dimensions he entered). This means that (I admit I'm totally guessing here though) that Velika could use the legendary mask of time to tamper with the fabric of time itself. He would alter the timeline so that the Great Beings never create the MU, and Spherus Magna is allowed to come to a cataclysmic end (or maybe he'll make it so that the Great Beings actually rule to keep things from going crazy in the first place, whatever). So, because tampering with the literal fabric of reality isn't an exact science, a few rifts begin appearing throughout the planet. One of these happens to form while Krakua is helping deal with the Golden Being's fortress. He gets a chance to impart some wisdom to a past Toa Vakama before informing the planet's still settling civilization that something is not quite right. Que some story of discovering what's going on, and an eventual conflict between the Toa Mata and Velika. There's no hope to beat him. He may well be the closest thing to a god that this world has. So instead it ends in a compromise. The Toa convince Velika that it is unfair to punish his creations for his and his people's failures. If he truly wants to do well by them, he has to give them the agency to choose their destiny. Que speech on unity duty destiny blah blah blah. Here's where gen 2 comes in. To convonce Velika that it's worthwhile to keep from just rewriting history, the Mata agree to be woven into time as eternal heros who will descent from the heavens whenever called upon to battle the evil which Velika is so upset by. The vahi is strewn throughout the universe as a way of summoning the Toa from any time or place in the universe. Not only does this wrap up some of the complex issues at the end of the serials, it also gives the Toa Mata a proper ending. Think about it. The Toa Mata really never get to be the heroes we, and they, were told they were. From the very start, the Toa were prophesied as heroes who would defeat Makuta and awaken Mata-Nui. But what happens? Makuta's first defeat is a farce, and his second doesn't even involve them, just Takanuva. Then when they finally awaken the GS Robot, they pretty much enthroned the devil as an omniscient, all powerful god. And even then, they didn't awaken Mata-nui, the Mask of Life did. Fast forward to makuta's defeat and only Tahu is even involved! What's more, all he does is genocide the Rahkshi so MataNui can moon Makuta to death. They never really get that big moment to shine. Every victory is undermined or turned into something negative. This lets the Mata not only beat a greater evil than even Makuta, but become eternal heroes. I think that'd be a pretty proper way to send off our original power team, and provide technically an endless stream of continuations and reboots of bionicle using the main six. Consider Gen 2. The Toa just get called down to help Okoto like they did with Mata-Nui. And when they finished, they ascended back to the stars. It could even tie in the mask of creation and makuta's name being transcendent from Gen 1 as canonically caused by the time rewriting. Anyway, crackpot theory over. TLDR: Velika wanted to rewrite time but instead would have made Gen 2 possible via the Vahi

You kind of answered your own question. If Toa of Water could control the temperature of their element directly, it'd pretty much make Toa of Ice obsolete. So it's probably safe to assume that they can neither heat nor cool water with their powers alone. I suppose I don't mean controlling the temperature of their water once it is created, or of naturally occurring water. I was thinking more so the ability to create hot water vs cold water or room temperature water through the use of elemental energy?

Can Toa control the specifics of their element, in this case, the heat of it? Can a Toa of water, perhaps with a lot of training, control the creation of hot, middle-temp, and cold water? Or just...water...of a regular temperature? Fire and Ice seem to be interesting since Fire is really more like heat increase and Ice is more like heat decrease along with their physical element? Anyway, thoughts?

I'd kind of like to know this too if possible. And if I could ask just out of curiosity, what new, possible elements are being thrown around?

*Facepalm* Yeah, you're right. I suppose stone would recieve it then? Along with gems too I guess, if there were any... The white quartz mountains are not made of Quartz, they are made out of ice but assuming it looks like Quartz. But assuming that they are named after the stone, and not just arbitrarily happening to have the same name as the stone, then quartz must exist, so I would still have the question of who could manipulate it? Though it's certainly looking like stone would.

Thanks Bonesii and Komali!

Another quick question! Are there gemstones in the EM? And it so, what element controls them? I would assume stone, right?

*Facepalm* Yeah, you're right. I suppose stone would recieve it then? Along with gems too I guess, if there were any...

Ok, so based on the topic I posted earlier, it looks like exidian is definitely under the canon umbrella of Fe containing all things metal (Gold Silver Iron). So my question is what in the Expanded elements would control exidian? Would Iron still control it? I only ask because I know that silver and gold were made into their own elements and so I wasn't sure what happened to exidian since Iron now controls...well something more close to JUST iron instead of every metal?

So...is there an element that would be able to control exidian? I realize that the element existed in SM and may not have existed at all in the MU, however does that mean no Toa could control or manipulate exidian? Or would Fe-Toa have the ability to manipulate exidian as pretty much Toa of all metal? I'm assuming that Fe-Toa must be able to control exidian since...well I assumed that Fe beings control metal in general including gold, silver, iron, quartz (assuming that the White Quartz Mountains are making reference to canon elemental quartz), etc. However before I asked the Expanded Universe people about where exidian stands on their elemental tables I wanted to bring the question to the canon department first. So, where does exidian stand? And for that matter, gold, silver, etc? Exidian is special I suppose since it's a fake element that is only confirmed to exist in SM, but the question is still there as to who can control gold and silver, since we've seen golden and silvery armor and metals in the MU before. So...go go canon question?
