Voya Nui

Voya Nui is an island far south of Mata Nui. It houses the Mask of Life, the most powerful mask of all time.

Early History
Just when Mata Nui fell asleep, Voya Nui broke off from its mainland. Many died, including the Turaga. The Matoran decided to make a living there to honor their friends who died.

The Piraka
Voya Nui was running out of water for the Matoran to drink. But hope regained when 6 "Toa" washed up on the icy shoreline. They put the Matoran to work building fortresses and helping them. But a Matoran named Garan discovered that they were really Piraka, who were enslaving Matoran with their Zamor Spheres. Garan formed a rebellion against the Piraka, made up of himself, Balta, Dalu, Kazi, Piruk, and Velika.

The Toa Nuva
Six more canisters washed up on shore, containing the Toa Nuva. At first, they were thought to be more Piraka by the Matoran resistance, but were then recognized as Toa. They joined with the Matoran and attacked the Piraka's stronghold. They failed, and the Toa Nuva were defeated. Zaktan then charged the other piraka with the task of throwing the incapitated Toa into the volcano.
