Land Gates

The Land Gates are passageways located throughout the Matoran Universe.

History
Land Gates exist in many domes of the Matoran Universe where the robotic body of the Great Spirit Mata Nui intersect with the cavernous habitations, which are connected by tunnels through solid Protodermis. They allow for travel between these various domes of the universe without the need for a Boat.

Metru Nui
Like the Sea Gates, the Land Gates of Metru Nui are located along the Great Barrier. For most of the history of the Island City, these gates were used for travel to and from the city, as well as for trade convoys to pass through. Eighteen months prior to the Great Cataclysm, Makuta Teridax, posing as Turaga Dume, ordered two of the Toa Mangai to close off these gates. The Toa, accompanied by the Po-Matoran Chronicler Kodan, succeeded in this task but were later killed by the Dark Hunter Eliminator.
