Destiny

Destiny was one of the Three Virtues given to the Matoran by Mata Nui. It was the third one, and represented the being's purpose in life, the final goal. When a Toa completed their destiny, they could opt to become a Turaga or remain a Toa. Mata Nui decided a being's destiny, and the Great Beings decided his. Energized protodermis could mutate or destroy a being depending on their destiny.

Ko-Koro derived their Principle of Peace from Destiny and often used a lot of time to meditate on it and study it. Especially the Architect had a special job for this.
