User blog:Glflegolas/Region Spotlight -- Issue 27.2 -- April 1, 2017

Hey folks,

Guess what I'm back with another region spotlight. But in keeping with this mod's BIONICLE theme, this one won't be about a region of Middle-Earth. Instead, it'll be about a particular region on the Island of Mata Nui, and that location shall be Onu-Koro.

Where is it?
Since I don't have a map of Mata Nui right in front of me, I'll have to give you the directions to get there as if you were playing the Mata Nui Online Game. If you're at the docks at Po-Koro, follow the path, and keep to your left. As you travel, you'll come past Hafu, working on a sculpture. At this point, go left, and the deserts of Po-Koro will gradually give way to the rocky foothills of the mountain. Once you get to the tunnel entrance, hop on the Ussal Crab and you'll land right in the centre of town.

What do you like about this region?
One of my favourite things about Onu-Koro is simply location, location, location. Living in a giant cave, deep under Mount Ihu -- now wouldn't that be cool? Or rather warm, as the earth is a great insulator. There's lots of resources to mine, from ore to lightstones, plenty of houses to live in, a trader from whom you can buy anything from the other regions of Mata Nui, and you can even find raw protodermis in the deepest depths of the Great Mine! What's not to like?

Any advice for travellers?
Since this location is underground, it would not be a bad idea to bring along a lightstone so that you can see where the heck you're going, as the tunnels and mines of the city are rather dark. However, the city of Onu-Koro itself is well-lit with lightstones (except that torches were used for a brief time when lightstones were unavailable) so that finding your way around the city itself won't be a problem.
