The Ţuat

The Ţuat is a collective term for a group of six islands that exist within the Matoran Universe and serve as the sole physical gateways into the Shadow Realm.

History
There is a single Ţuat hidden within each one of the six primary regions of the Matoran Universe and the souls of all Sapient Species who become deceased within any given region are transformed by the energies of death and thus travel to the Ţuat of that specific region in order to pass into the the Shadow Realm. If a being within the Matoran Universe dies in an area that was not considered a part of any of the six primary regions, that is to say within the Domes of Artakha, Daxia, Metru Nui, the Northern Continent, the Nui Sea, "The Pit", or the Southern Continent, then their soul simply travels to the nearest of the six Ţuat.
