This one I know: it was not general knowledge that the Makuta were beings of darkness until after the Metru Nui saga. Prior to a certain point, the Makuta were just mysterious, rather cruel inventors. And it's here, many years later, that I finally realize that the "Brotherhood of Makuta" refers to the plural, not the singular (even if the Matoran actually mistook it as singular). Time Trap was a great book, btw. Probably one of the best. 100% my favorite Bionicle book. On-topic: So Teridax was like an obscure authority figure to the Matoran of Metru Nui (that Vakama happened to know/recognize)? How do we reconcile that with Teridax's role in the Archives Massacre? Was Teridax just not publicly involved in that incident (instead orchestrating it behind the scenes), or did he remain so inactive afterward that people forgot who he was? I'm not sure how it could be the last one; only damaged Matoran were ever shown to have faulty memories.
