Mahri Nui

- "Mahri Nui’s position was dangerous. Not only did the Matoran and their Hydruka helpers need to constantly replenish their air supplies, the village itself was perched near the lip of The Pit, a deep and unfriendly realm."

Mahri Nui, or the Lost Land, was formerly a village on Voya Nui, and later sank into the sea around Voya Nui, destroying the Barraki Fortress in the process. It was later destroyed by Voya Nui's descent.
[carve] History
Around 300 years ago, Mahri Nui, an area of cooled lava on Voya Nui, suddenly broke off and sank beneath the waves due to its weak foundations. The land took the Matoran village and hundreds of Matoran down with it. Also referred to as the Lost Land, over time the lava from Voya Nui created a Stone Cord which connected Mahri Nui to Voya Nui and acted as an anchor, stopping Voya Nui from its constant drifting. Mahri Nui rested on the top of an upside-down pyramid-like formation in the outer reaches of The Pit.
When Mahri Nui sank beneath the waves, it smashed into an Airweed field, releasing hundreds of air bubbles that allowed the Matoran to survive long enough to build up a home and resist further mutation by the sea water. The Fortress Ehlek had built for the Barraki was crushed when Mahri Nui sank, inciting Ehlek's continuous rage against the Matoran of the city. However, the island was not attacked by the Barraki, as Pridak, their leader, saw nothing to gain by it.
When the Mask of Life enlarged a Venom Eel to protect itself, the mutant 300-feet-long Venom Eel launched an attack on Mahri Nui, destroying one of its storehouses. It was only thanks to the quick thinking of Defilak that the city did not suffer any more damage. By smashing all of Mahri Nui's Lightstones and drastically darkening the city, the Venom Eel was fooled into losing its prey and moving to the Stone Cord where the Toa Inika did battle against the Zyglak.
After the Toa were transformed into the Toa Mahri, they agreed to help the Mahri Nui Matoran fight the Barraki. After many battles, the Toa transported the Matoran through the Cord into underground chambers on Voya Nui. The Mahri then went back down to destroy the Cord at Matoro's urging. After it was shattered, Voya Nui began to rapidly sink down into the ocean to return to its origin, crushing Mahri Nui in the process.

[carve] Matoran
The Matoran of Mahri Nui had built statues in memory of each of their fallen friends. Mahri Nui's leader was rotated to a different Matoran each month. In addition, the Mahri Nui Matoran had come to see the parcels that the Voya Nui Matoran send down as gifts from the Great Spirit Mata Nui. They stored these gifts in the Matoran Council Chamber, where they held meetings to discuss Mahri Nui's status. They are currently hiding in the underground shelter of Voya Nui along with the other Matoran of Mahri Nui and Voya Nui since the Toa Mahri had to destroy the Cord, and thus Mahri Nui.
[carve] Features
Features of Mahri Nui include a strong and dangerous undercurrent off the western end of the city, and the Pillars of Salt on the north end of the city which double as Pridak's favorite hunting grounds.
