Okoto was the island on which the Mask makers and Protectors lived and where the Toa went on a quest for the Masks of Power.
History
The inhabitants of Okoto, the Protectors and the Maskmakers, lived in harmony at one time. After the battle between Ekimu and Makuta, the island was severely damaged and the Mask makers rendered into unending slumber. The Mask of Creation, Mask of Control, and Mask of Ultimate Power were scattered and remained hidden to the inhabitants for a long time. Later, the Toa arrived, preparing to find the masks and restore order to the island.
Geography
Okoto was an environmentally diverse island, with six distinct environments corresponding to the six elements of the Protectors, roughly divided by a mountain range. Each region was home to a village of Protectors. Elsewhere on Okoto were the ruins of an Ancient City, guarded by the Lord of Skull Spiders.
