"Now we sailed through a crack in the Great Barrier, leaving Metru Nui behind in a desperate search for a place of safety for all the Matoran. But where we were going, and what dangers we would face along the way, no one could say...."

The Great Barrier is the name of the massive dome wall that surrounds the underground island-city of Metru Nui.

[carve] History

The Great Barrier separated the city of Metru Nui from the rest of the Matoran Universe with only six gates open to access the City of Legends. During Makuta Teridax's gamble for power in Metru Nui, Teridax disguised himself as the leader of Metru Nui, Turaga Dume, and sent most of the members of the Toa Mangai to shut the gates. Little did the Toa Mangai know that the Dark Hunter Eliminator was stationed at the Barrier to kill the Toa for Teridax. The Great Barrier was damaged during the Great Cataclysm, causing several holes and tunnels to open up in the wall. While fleeing the damaged City of Legends, the Toa Metru fought and imprisoned Teridax here, and then later came back to save the rest of the sleeping Matoran from the Visorak hordes to take them through a tunnel to the island of Mata Nui above.

[carve] Landscape

The barrier has many cliffs along its face, and a large door that connects Mangaia, Teridax's lair, to a ledge in the barrier that looks out over Metru Nui's Silver Sea. There are also several Coastal Gates in the wall of the Great Barrier which, along with many underwater Chutes, go through the base of the barrier, leading to other islands.
