Happy Holidays!
BARA MAGNA
• Greg would not say that Thornax grow abundantly. Like water or food or anything else, Thornax are a scarce resource that has to be sought out or traded for. That is why Glatorian have them and not Agori, because Glatorian get first dibs on whatever is found.
• Bone hunters work for whoever has something that they want. They are nomadic bandits. They do not participate in the social system.
• "Bone hunters" is a tribe name. They are

How about some grainy but large 2009 set images from the TRU website?
Strakk
Vorox
Berix
These were a pain to assemble.
While I'm at it, how about some big Bara Magna scenery from bionicle.com?

Seriously, WWIII will be fought over these pieces. Everyone will want to use them. Credit for the photo goes to Kohena: Great Warrior of Pie.

Lots of good stuff!
BARA MAGNA
• There were more rivers on Bara Magna at one time, though there were never any oceans.
• Villages in 2009 will have proper names.
• The villages being shown in 2009 are the only tribes on Bara Magna, at least as far as Greg is concerned. • In most cases, Agori tribes have leaders that are also Agori.
• The masks and helmets worn on Bara Magna are marks of status, in some cases, but they do not have mask powers.
• Each Glator

It's that time of week again.
BARA MAGNA
• Greg: "The Skrall situation is different from the rest. Skrall do not have individual names -- they're just called Skrall, which is the name of their group -- unless they distinguish themselves and so earn a name. Other Glatorian have individual names and are not strictly a part of a "tribe" -- they just work for the tribe."
• Skrall are not clones, but rather living individual beings who happen to live in a social group

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving .
BARA MAGNA
• Bara Magna is a lot older than the Matoran universe and is most likely older than the Great Beings.
• Greg: "The black and green Glatorian […] fight in the first comic -- but reasonably, any two Glatorian can fight in the arena, because it's not about being friends or enemies. It's a job."
• One can get a pretty good idea whether or not a Thornax is going to explode if one knows when it was harvested or if

As is usual, I'm traveling away from home for Thanksgiving, and I should return home on Friday. I thought I should say that in case I ever miss a Friday to do the Farshtey Feed, I'll put it up the next day or as soon as possible -- basically I'm saying, I don't skip. Have a good holiday!

The mods were on a tyrade last week about how the OGD should be a place for concise discussion and posting dialogues with Greg. Then they disappeared, and now we're in a bad spell of people making totally extraneous posts. What up wit that?
BARA MAGNA
• Elemental affiliations in 2009 are based on geography, but tribes are still referred to as the fire tribe, the water tribe, etc.
• Like any desert, the surface of Bara Magna has oases and other such areas.

Often the most effective way to understand and experience a Lego model is in taking it apart. All of the pieces are revealed, and how they connected becomes apparent in the disassembly. You can gain a great deal of insight from a model even you yourself built.
We also have the art of building, creation, putting the pieces together. It requires knowledge of the rules of structure beforehand, rules you almost certainly observed and learned in the world around you w

BARA MAGNA
• The inhabitants of Bara Magna have heard of the Great Beings but generally do not call them that.
• One of the winter Agori sets is the leader of his tribe.
• Neither Fero nor Atakus is an Earth villager -- Rock is black, and Earth is tan! • The inhabitants of Bara Magna have seen the Three Virtues symbol but have no idea what it refers to.
THE UNIVERSE
• The Three Virtues map does not show a means of getting from one universe to another.

Does anyone else miss Blog of the Week? It was pretty cool when you were the one they chose. Instant fame for a day or so...

Figured it never hurts to ask -- I need to transfer a certain file for a computer game from my Windows XP to a vintage Mac OS computer. If you're a geeky computer game/tech kind of guy (or gal), you could really help me out. For any replies: thanks!

I'd like to thank those people who have told me they read the Farsthey Feed and like what I'm doing -- that's very encouraging!
MAKUTA TERIDAX
• Teridax could not have succeeded had Mata Nui not died. Had his efforts on Voya Nui and Mahri Nui failed to delay the Toa long enough for Mata Nui to die, he would have had to amend the Plan, just as he did after the Metru's victory in Metru Nui.
• Just as it takes time to install a new operating system on a computer, it

Happy Halloween!
STAGE STORY
• The other Makuta knew that Teridax would become the Great Spirit, and he promised that they would be his avatars in the universe.
• Having taken over Mata Nui's body, Makuta does have the potential to be omniscient, but he is still a non-Great Spirit mind in a Great Spirit body. So he is not USED to being omniscient, and that is a weakness the Toa may be able to exploit.
• In Mata Nui's body, Teridax still has the powers he had while
