Chronist-Interview mit Ryder Windham

[Takua Nuva]

hm ich weis nich die moc wurde ja nicht von ihm geschaffen sie wurde ihm nur gegeben. und wir wissen auch nicht ob ekimu nur ne verbindung zu den 6 goldenen masken oder zu allen die er erschaffen hat.hm und vieleicht wusste er es ja und hat sie deswegen direkt zur antiken stadt geführt als sie ihre masken hatten.

Again thank you very much for answering my questions
I really enjoyed reading your book and looking forward to read the graphic novel.

In Episode 16 nimmt Kulta die Maske von einem Podest, das stimmt, nur ob es das von der Brücke ist weiß man nicht.
Aber die goldene Maske der Totenkopfspinnen wurde doch schon einmal von Lego in einem Club Magazin vorgestellt und gesagt, dass Loss damit die Spinnen kontrolliert, oder irre ich mich? Wenn es aber stimmt warum kommt sie dann nicht in der Story vor?

Well, I'll just go ahead and ask a few more questions about the story. I hope you can answer some of them.

1. In your book, Kivoda says that thousands of years have passed since the incident between the two mask makers. Why did the Protectors (and their ancestors) wait so long, why didn't they summon the Toa sooner?

2. According to your book and the online animations, the Mask of Ultimate Power "took control" over Makuta when he put it on his face. Do you know what exactly that is supposed to mean? Is the mask sentient, does it have a mind of its own?

3. Have you ever heard of the name "Kulta"? According to some promotional material, this is the Skull Grinder's proper name, but it has never been used in official media outside of a short description in the LEGO Club Magazine. Do you know anything about this?

4. There are some small differences/contradictions between the book and other media. Some fans are unsure which media they should consider more "canon" in these cases. Can you maybe give us some insight on these, and which version you consider canon?
Here's some of the differences fans have noticed (based on a post on another fansite, BZPower):

• According to your book, the landscape of Okoto looked very different originally, and the explosion caused by the mask makers' fight changed the island into its current form. In the online animations, the island looks just like today even before that fight.
• According to your book, the ancient city of the mask makers is located in the jungle region. The map on the BIONICLE website shows it located in the water region.
• In your book, Vizuna has a "tail" attached to his spine that contains different sensors. The LEGO toy of Vizuna/the Protector of Jungle has two "sensor tails" attached to his ankles instead.

Well, that turned into a lot more text than I intended. Again, thank you very much for the time you have taken to answer our questions so far.
