The Makoki Stone is a tablet detailing information about the Brotherhood of Makuta which was broken into six pieces and later functioned as keys.
History
The Makoki Stone was created by an unknown manufacturer and obtained by Toa who did not trust the Brotherhood of Makuta.[3] The Toa used the stone as a carving to record detailed information on the Brotherhood including information on their members, locations of their fortresses, and other important information, and set the stone to be guarded in a Toa Fortress.[4][5][3] As a rookie Toa, Lhikan came to join the team that guarded the fortress.[6]
7,000 years ago, the Dark Hunters planned to sneak into the fortress and steal the stone. Hakann gleaned this information from a Dark Hunter assigned to the task. While the fortress was besieged by Frostelus, Hakann and Vezok stole the stone. Vezok discovered the inscription, but kept this secret to himself. Ancient found the two Skakdi and took the stone when he recruited them into the Dark Hunters. As the Frostelus prevailed, Lhikan was ordered by his team leader to take the stone and flee the fortress, but he could not locate it.[6]
During the Toa-Dark Hunter War, Hakann offered the Makoki Stone to Lhikan as a ransom for Dark Hunters taken captive by the Toa. Lhikan agreed to honor the lives of his fellow Toa. The stone was transferred from Odina to Metru Nui, before being sent to a heavily guarded island. Six months after the prisoners' liberation, a Dark Hunter team trained by Nidhiki was sent by the Shadowed One to steal the stone back.[7] The leader of the Dark Hunters then broke it into six pieces and auctioned them off, one piece at a time. The Brotherhood of Makuta was the highest bidder for all six.[6]
1,300 years ago, the Toa Hagah stole the pieces of the Makoki Stone from a Brotherhood fortress on the same raid during which they stole the Kanohi Avohkii.[8] When they arrived on Metru Nui, the Rahaga hid one Makoki Stone in each metru. During the Great Rescue, the Rahaga sent the Toa Hordika to collect the pieces of the Makoki Stone. Once they had done so, they used the stones to unlock the hiding place of the Avohkii.[9]
After the Great Rescue, the Toa Hordika, now Turaga, brought the stones to Mata Nui, where they locked the road to Mangaia through the Suva-Kaita.[10][11] When the Toa Mata brought the Makoki Stones to the Suva-Kaita, the stones formed into a glowing sphere and unlocked the road. Once they had arrived in Mangaia, the Toa Mata recollected the Stones. They then placed three each in two niches to form demi-spheres, which opened chambers in which the Toa formed Toa Kaita.[12]
When the Matoran migrated back to Metru Nui,[13] and later to Spherus Magna, they brought the Makoki Stone with them.[1]

Trivia
- In the Matoran language, "Makoki" means "Key".[14]
- In several visual representations, the names of the Toa Mata are written on the six pieces. For example, the inside of the cover of the EP in the Power Pack featured the names written in Matoran on the Stones.
