I'll skip right to the massive wall of questions you have provived.


 * No idea where Xafri came from
 * Merall, Chaeus and Norah came from the southern island chains, assuming the information on Merall's page is correct (I'm assuming it is)
 * He becomes Theran's maid because the Toa of Fire was ticked about being used as a climbing wall. I honestly have no idea about this one, it depends greatly on the identity of the stranger (either Krakua, the third being from the legend, or on of Xafri's teamates)
 * They're either dead, undead or gone until the end of Book 3. I see no point in bringing them back, especially since you've been slowly cutting out the minor characters to shift the focus to the main ones.
 * Dead or undead
 * I've talked about this before. It most likely ties in with the three way war from the legend. The orange fella either powerful entity 3 or a mercenary/soldier from Xia/Nynrah.
 * Um... no clue whatsoever.
 * Because it would require über advanced graphics/special effects. Interesting question. I'd assume it has something to do with the fact that they're somehow tied to Nuva, as mentioned in the legend.
 * Either it wasn't time yet or Xafri's...differences protected her from the transformation.
 * I read Pakari's page at one point, but all I can remember is that they were all Matoran who became Toa and were recruited by Solonus to help him do something.
 * He's a Skakdi, and we've seen that Solonus was not the most trusting/trustworthy fellow on Balfe-Nui. Either the Skakdi's in league with Nuva or he was imprisoned for getting on Solonus' bad side.
 * They're power hungry, manipulative, corrupted Toa. They were granted power and wanted more. And they both think they are good whilst the other is evil, so...

My only bone to pick with you about Patriots is this: If Nuva is a Toa of Death, he shouldn't need some random Kanohi to control his army. He should be able to control the lot of them mentally. The only reason he would need the mask would be if the virus was manufactured by him, not one of his powers. And you said the virus was not a biological weapon...

Anyways, it seems like you have your work cut out for you in making sure you explain everything in Book 3, and I wish you good luck with the project whenever you start it. But back on topic, Patriots was engaging and interesting, and I commend you for your work. It must've taken a lot of time and effort to complete such a project.
