[carve] History

When the Toa Metru first came to the island, Vakama personally chose Ta-Koro's location, keeping a good defense in mind. The village was then constructed after the Toa returned with the rescued Matoran.

After the village was constructed and with his promised year of peace expired, Teridax arrived at the island with Infected Kanohi and Rahi.

About 1,000 years after the construction of Ta-Koro, Takua was banished from the village, and left in search for Toa Stones. After the Toa Mata defeated Teridax, Takua returned to Ta-Koro as the Chronicler.

During the Bohrok invasion, a swarm of Pahrak and Kohrak attacked Ta-Koro in an attempt to clean the area. One Matoran had managed to slip away to Kini-Nui to warn the Toa Mata of the attack. The Toa used the Kakama power of their Golden Kanohi to speed to the village and put a stop to the oncoming swarm.

When the Bohrok-Kal struck, a Tahnok-Kal stole Tahu's Nuva Symbol from Ta-Koro, rendering him powerless. Eventually, it was recovered, and kept in a safer place.

Shortly after the Mask of Light was found by Takua, Teridax unleashed three Rahkshi to acquire it. The Panrahk, Guurahk, and Lerahk then proceeded to destroy Ta-Koro in their search for the mask.

Ta-Koro was located in the middle of the Lake of Fire. Vakama designed it to resemble a fortress to help the Matoran defend themselves. It has a mechanism which allows giant stone blocks to emerge from the lava so that Matoran can travel from the village to the outside. Ta-Koro was also the location of very important lava farms and a great Kolhii Field. Several important Matoran lived there, such as the Captain of the Ta-Matoran Guard, Jaller, and the Chronicler Takua. Turaga Vakama was and still is known for his wisdom, and his ability to see things in the fire. Ta-Koro was later destroyed by the Rahkshi and sank into the lava that surrounded it. Luckily, Tahu's Nuva Symbol was not in Ta-Koro when the village fell.

The Ta-Matoran are the primary Matoran residents of Ta-Koro. The Matoran of Ta-Koro reside in homes made from cooled lava, and they perform day to day activities such as Lava Farming or Lava Surfing. Several notable Matoran lived here, such as the Captain of the Guard (Now Toa Mahri of Fire), Jaller, and the Chronicler, Takua. (Now Takanuva, Toa of Light)
