Festival of Masks

The Festival of Masks is an ancient celebration practiced on the island of Okoto in ancient times, before Makuta's Betrayal. During the last Festival of Masks, all six Elemental Creatures appeared to Ekimu, an occurrence that led him to journey to the Temple of Time in search of answers. There, Ekimu used the Mask of Time and experienced a vision of the cataclysm that would soon rock the island, utterly changing its landscape.

The Festival of Masks served to honor the Protectors in ancient times and to celebrate the masks worn by all Islanders, which was taken as a symbol of unity. After the City of the Mask Makers was reclaimed, Ekimu and the modern Protectors began discussing the holding of a new festival.

Prophecy of Heroes

The Prophecy of Heroes is a legend told by Ekimu to six Protectors, which would be passed down to their descendants and used to summon the Toa.
