Ancient Chronicle

Ancient Chronicle, also known as Bionicle: Untold, is a project with the goal of sustaining fan interest in the BIONICLE community, while exploring the stories and characters of the distant past, well before the Core War and the fall of Spherus Magna. Everyone is welcomed to contribute to the various aspects of the project by offering ideas, feedback and participating in the development of the project.

Our goal is to produce four 'canon-fit' (non-canon, yet strictly followed by it) stories and expand on them by creating a small database of the characters and the locations on KanohiJournal Publications' website. As of now, two of these serials have been written, and we need your help to complete the other two, and expand on them.


About Ancient Chronicle

While many projects have storylines which focus on current events in the BIONICLE story, or envision future ones, Ancient Chronicle focuses on the past. It is the first large-scale project to create stories based on the history of Spherus Magna and its inhabitants, from well before the Core War. Four fan-made, 'canon-fit' stories will be published between now and the next few months, with additional content scheduled after their completion.

The origins of Spherus Magna are finally coming to light, in Origins and its sequel, Altum Bellum. From a Hermit's dark plans to the Great Beings' arrival and the division it creates, recount the tale of how, through chaos and war, today's Spherus Magna's society is formed. From the ashes of war the Great Beings rose to leadership status over the Spherus Magnans; but, wishing to challenge themselves even more, they opted to begin work on their largest creation yet: a gigantic, autonomous robot body. But as shown in The Grand Creation and Price of Jealousy, not all the Great Beings agree with the plan -- and there are some who would stop it at all costs, and even those who "agree" have their reasons.

To enhance the experience, Ancient Chronicle by Mata Nui Inc. will follow the spirit of technological innovation offered as part of KanohiJournal Publications. All stories published will be available in e-book format, allowing the stories to be available offline and on every device, ranging from desktop PCs to mobile devices. But we aren't stopping there, all the serials will be turned into audiobooks, so you can enjoy them while doing anything, and quickly. A special multi-voiced audiobook, Their Mistake will also be produced, along with plans for additional media about the serials, such as wallpapers and 3D models.


Additional Content

A further expansion of the Ancient Chronicle serials, the set instructions and the 3D wallpapers will be available for download in the foreseeable future, in all know PCs and mobile devices. As Ancient Chronicle is looking forward to sustaining the interest in BIONICLE, a successful toyline, the point is not just to create stories, but a neat replacement of the sets. With wallpapers of every character to participate in the serials, set instructions of the characters and more, such as bios and stats, the Ancient Chronicle project will cover all sectors of the BIONCLE franchise, reaching into each and every fan, no matter the age.

Based on the tales of the Core Wars in the official canon, an audiobook will be produced, called Their Mistake. It will expand on particular events, such as the true story of the Core War, the Shattering, and the ambitious Great Beings. But is there more to see? Did everything really begin with two rivals, Fire and Ice, or is something, or someone evolved in these events? No matter the case, the Core War wasn't as simple as we thought it was. Are you interested in post-Core War stories? Then it's your chance to play a role! As the script is passing it's final stage, Mata Nui Inc is currently searching for voice Actors.

Ancient Chronicle will serve as a prequel to the Biological Chronicle and the toyline that amazed us all. Join us in shaping BIONICLE's distant past today: we're looking for talented writers, MOCers, 3D modelers, artists, voice actors and composers. You can contact us on matanuiinc@gmail.com

This is already final, then?

Drat. I wanted to do something as MNI COO.

It's been like this for a month

Finalized, you mean? Well, there are a few typos, and the wording in places could be improved, but otherwise...

Well, who'll be posting this on various forums, then? I'd like to do something pertaining to my new job as MNI COO.

Eh, it pretty much is. Plus, that's the project leader's job, AKA mine.

I thought Skar was the project leader of Ancient Chronicle.

Nope, I became AC Leader since we decided to split the CEO job. Skar left that position anyways.

Oh. Okay.

Hooray for Rigs! lol

I think we need to consider re-opening Altum Bellum, since we have so much time on our hands, a new writer(EchoStrings), and the war after Origins needs to be explained I think(isn't Altum Bellum right after that?).

If we get the TGC chapters completed in time, then AB will be opened. Multi-tasking in an era were the fanbase is dying, isn't exactly a good option. Keep supporting TGC, I'll review the chapters we have, and once we wrap it up, we move on to AB, then TM.

Updated one last time, the topic has been posted io Bzpower.

Delayed Cheers.
