Background[]
Temple of Light
The Temple of Light is a place located in the Island of Darkness, where the First Spinjitzu Master had gotten the gold to make the Golden Weapons. It has a Japanese style along with lanterns and a giant oven in the front. The inside is in a cave, where the Ninja's adventures are written on the walls. The temple has a huge bell in the middle, which used a chain reaction to give the Ninja their kimonos and elemental blades, along with Lloyd's golden dragon. In Rise of the Spinjitzu Master, the temple had locks which could activate the First Spinjitzu Master's golden mech, once the Ninja put in their elemental blades.
The Temple of Light is the place where The Golden Weapons were forged. It lays hidden in the Dark Island and is the only place the ninja can reach their genuine elemental powers in order to power up Lloyd, so he would be capable of defeating the Stone Army. Lloyd finds it in the mountains of the Island of Darkness. The four ninjas then get new suits and elemental blades and Lloyd becomes capable of summoning the Golden Dragon making them able to defeat the Stone Army.
The Golden Mech was used by the first Spinjitzu Master to fight the Overlord, then stored in the Temple of Light. The ninja found it the second time they went to the temple; they plugged their elemental blades into slots, the floor opened and the mech came out. Lloyd used the mech to fly back to Ninjago, where he fought the Stone Army with it, but it was quickly destroyed.
Later in season 3, ninjas came back to the temple so Lloyd unlocks his golden powers again, because Overlord drained them to create the Golden Master's body. Lloyd succeeded and other ninjas unlocked their new elemental powers too.
Both the Temple and the mech featured prominently in The Dark Island Trilogy, in which Clouse attempted to corrupt the temple with Dark Matter in order to force the Dark Island and Ninjago Island to fuse together again so that he could rule both in darkness. To stop him, Sensei Wu employed the Golden Mech, which he had given to Cyrus Borg to repair. Clouse created a Shadow Mech of his own from shadow warriors who had been fighting the Ninja alongside Nadakhan's former crew, whom Clouse had recruited to his service. However, the Golden Mech proved victorious, and was able to restore the Temple of Light to its former glory.
