Duty

Duty was one of the Three Virtues, given to Mata Nui by the Great Beings and passed to the Matoran by Mata Nui. The virtue of Duty stressed doing one's job with responsibility and diligence.

The Le-Matoran derived their principle of Faith from the virtues of Unity and Duty, the Onu-Matoran derived their principle of Prosperity from the virtues of Duty and Destiny, and the Ta-Matoran derived their principle of Courage from the virtue of Duty.
