'''Ta-Metru''' was the district of Fire on [[Metru Nui]]. One of the most industrial Metru, it was home to island's crafters who produced [[Kanoka]], Kanohi, and various other necessities.

== History ==
Upon Metru Nui's creation, Ta-Metru was soon brought about, one of the first districts to be constructed.

Ta-Metru's main industry quickly became forging and smelting, and, thus, most of the tools in the city were made from Ta-Metru. Of its main exports, Ta-Metru is famous for the Kanohi they smelt, worn by all the [[Matoran]] citizens of Ta-Metru. To create Kanohi, mask forgers took a combination of Kanoka Disks and melted them together. This gave them each a unique mask power, although few Toa wore these masks. As Ta-Metru primarily worked with [[Protodermis#Liquid Protodermis|molten Protodermis]], large vats of it were transported throughout the Metru via cable cords.

Due to a dispute between Ta-Metru and [[Po-Metru]], the [[Matoran Civil War]] began. Out of anger, Ta-Matoran melted a warehouse with molten Protodermis; in retaliation, the Po-Matoran then sank their transport barges, sparking the war. [[Ga-Metru]] and [[Onu-Metru]] became allies of the Ta-Matoran. During this time, the health of the Great Spirit was heavily diminished, and, in the end, [[Brotherhood of Makuta]] members were forced to intervene to end the war.

[[Toa]] [[Lhikan]] visited Ta-Metru last when deliver the [[Toa Stone]]s to the soon-to-be [[Toa Metru]]. He managed to get the stone to [[Vakama]], the sixth and final Matoran, before being captured by [[Nidhiki]] and [[Krekka]].

After many years of peace, the [[Morbuzakh]] struck, and the Metru was under constant threat from molten Protodermis dropped from their vats when the Morbuzakh vines caused them to fall. A year after this, the [[Great Cataclysm]] struck the universe. Shaking many vats of Protodermis, the molten Protodermis fell to the ground, melting much of the city.

When the Matoran returned to the city from {{p|Mata Nui|Location}}, they began to reconstruct their former city, while living in Po-Metru until their [[Matoran Homes|homes]] were rebuilt. Ta-Metru was among the first to be rebuilt, as the Matoran required new tools and materials in order to rebuild the other Metru. Soon after rebuilding much of the city, the [[Staff of Artakha]] was used, restoring the city completely to its former glory.

Along with the rest of Metru Nui, Ta-Metru was greatly damaged when a fragment of [[Aqua Magna]] impacted the [[Core Processor]] during [[Teridax]]'s [[Battle of Bara Magna|battle]] with {{p|Mata Nui|Being}}. The surviving Matoran evacuated the Matoran Universe for the surface of [[Spherus Magna]]. Later, Ta-Metru, along with all other locations in the Matoran Universe, was dismantled.{{GregCitation|OGQ|page=4|post=130|lines=7,18}}{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=426|post=10878435}}
