Tablet of Release

A Tablet of Release was a stone tablet distributed to members of the Brotherhood of Makuta to signify that they had been dismissed from their normal duties.

History
In 50,080 CMT, Teridax ordered Sasuken to deliver Tablets of Release to Ynot, Hokagetsu, Trixitin, Asumaru, Kurenitsu, and Sasuken himself to prove that they had been dismissed from their normal duties. Ynot was confused as to why he received a Tablet of Release because he had completed every task he had been given, so Sasuken clarified that he had received the Tablet because Teridax wanted each of them to take a "vacation", after which they would return with higher ranks. Sasuken gathered the other Makuta and informed them that this "vacation" was to scout out the newly-discovered island of Shinobi-Nui.

Trivia

 * The Tablets of Release were presumably inspired by the Tablets of Transit in BIONICLE, furthering the idea that the Brotherhood of Makuta's official documents come in the form of stone tablets.
