Matoa
Protection for the Universe
The vast forest of Matoa produce the element of protection for the universe and Matoan’s are used to protect Etulians and Efilians not only from dangerous attacks but also internal physiological damages that beings can experience over a lifetime. They are the protectors of life forms in the universe. The creatures that inhabit this important kingdom may appear cartoonish but are formidable as Adam eventually bears witness. In battle, their liquid essence shields allies, making them invincible to any attack.
The Dense, tree-filled Kingdom of Matoa
In the dense, tree-filled kingdom of Matoa, it is inhabited by Matoans like Tito, who Adam first meets. Adam never gets to Matoa but eventually learns about what Matoans contribute and thus Matoa’s purpose on Etulas. The vast forests of Matoa produce the element of protection for the universe and Matoan’s are used to protect Etulians and Efilians not only from dangerous attacks but also internal physiological damages that beings can experience over a lifetime. They are the shielders of life forms in the universe. The creatures that inhabit this important kingdom may appear cartoonish but are formidable as Adam eventually observes. In battle, their liquid essence shields allies, making them almost invincible to any attack. The Matoans stand as guardians of all Efilian life forms, thus keeping the forces of darkness at bay. In the midst of cosmic wars, their presence is the ultimate defense.
Matoa’s landscape is visually defined by its dark red mountains and short, robust trees deeply rooted in red soil. The trees are fruit-bearing, and these fruits are especially significant as they hold “atoma,” an essential resource that embodies Matoa’s element of protection. This element is fundamental to Matoa’s identity and purpose on Etulas, with Matoans drawing upon atoma to create shields that protect all living beings. As with all Etulian kingdoms, the Kingdom of Mateo is bounded on all its cardinal points by the “transition forest.” These boundary trees are striking, with uniquely colored trunks and limbs and multicolored, feather-like leaves. This natural demarcation separates Matoa from neighboring kingdoms and visually indicates an entry into a new ecological and cultural domain.
