Motunui
Motunui is a South Pacific island and the home of the titular protagonist of the film Moana.
Location[]
The island resides in the South Pacific ocean.
Characteristics[]
Motunui looks like a typical Polynesian island, with a hot tropical climate, white-sand beaches, crystal clear waters, many trees including coconut palms, houses made of wood and straw, and high earth elevations (mountains).
Lore[]
Thousands of years before Moana, Motunui was the home to the world's first great navigators. With their resources, they explored the open oceans freely and triumphantly. However, due to the actions of the demigod Maui, the world surrounding the island became overrun with darkness. It was eventually declared that the sea was too dangerous for exploration, and the inhabitants of the island's village were thereby forbidden from ever leaving the security of the reef (though the true reason as to why had been kept confidential from the following generations).
