Ancient History of Okoto

[Takametru007]

This is what I gathered form BS01:

 

--The Vahi comes into existence. Since it is older than the stars, it has to come first.

 

--At some point in the distant past, the elements themselves magically create the mysterious island of Okoto.

--The elements are: (1) stone, (2) earth, (3) water, (4) fire, (5) jungle, (6) ice, (7) light, and (8) shadow.

--In addition to the island, 7 creatures are created from stone, earth, water, fire, jungle, ice, and light to be the avatars of their respective elements. Shadow, in response, creates Umarak the Hunter to oppose and hunt the creatures.

 

--The Temple of Time is either created from the elements as well, or the Okotoans build it as their first temple. The Mask of Time somehow then arrives at the Temple.

 

--Okotoans either are also formed from the elements, or migrate from another location.

 

--Okotoans build the Labyrinth of Control

--The Capitol City is built.

--The City of the Mask Makers is built.

 

--The Skull Raiders invade the island from a different location.

 

--The islanders live in harmony, along with the Mask Makers Makuta and Ekimu. 

 

 

So there are a few things I'm wondering about:

 

1. We know the Skull Army is not native to Okoto (presumably they sailed to the island from elsewhere). Does this mean there is a mainland on this planet inhabited by skeleton people? Why did they come to Okoto? How did they know about it? And, if they did know about beforehand, how is it that no one else has come to Okoto in its several thousand years of recored history? Ultimately, what were they hoping to get out of coming to Okoto?

 

2. How did the Okotoans get to Okoto? Were they created from the elements too? Did the Great Beings put them there? Did they sail to the island from another location? Who told them then that there would be a rich island in the middle of the ocean?

 

3. Also: are the Mask Makers just skilled Okotoans? Or are they a whole other race? Is that ever explained? Is Makuta an earth villager and Ekimu a water one?

 

4. What's with those 2 moons anyway?

 

One thing I'll say I don't like so much about G2 is there's no Greg to ask.

It was pointed out some where I can't remember that Okotoans take the element they are born around.

This would explain why Makuta seems to be of Earth and Ekimu water maybe ice.

But we were lead to believe The Mask makers are a race of their own.

1. They arrived through the sheer power of spoopiness.

 

2. The Okotoans are there because they want to be and anyone who has a problem with it can take it up with the bodybuilder with the hammer.

 

3. There's never been anything that's shown them to be different from the other Okotoans. They probably just wear different armor.

 

4. They're just a homage to G1's twin moons. They have no real importance.

This is true.

You're thinking way too hard about this, see they try to simplify the story for us this time around so what you see is what you get

This is also true but I think Lego was trying to set up some big plot points if G2 became a hit. Edited November 5, 2016 by ToaTimeLord

Well, in this topic, it is good to guess what all of this is when G2 got infamously cancelled. I think the moons are the sign that Okoto is probably located somewhere in G2's Aqua Magna of Spheres Magna. I always think that the villagers are the Agori, the Mask Makers are from a different species, and the Skull guys from another species or more.

With that comparison in mind, I would think that the Skull Raiders would actually be dead Glatorian, reanimated by a Mask of Undeath or something Great Beings, as the bone pieces are silver.
