“We took a sacred oath to keep the Storm Amulet safe from those who would seize it. We harnessed the power of lightning, and became one with the storm. Our forefathers kept the oath, and their forefathers, all the way back to the beginning.”

The Keepers of the Storm Amulet of Wojira (also referred to as the Keepers of the Amulet or simply Keepers) are an ancient native tribe of islanders that have storm powers and guarded the Storm Amulet, which was given to them by the First Spinjitzu Master before the creation of Ninjago to protect the world from Wojira. They inhabit an island hidden in the storm belt.

History[]

Battle of Nine Days[]

Long before time had a name, Wojira controlled the Endless Sea by using the sources of her power, the Amulets of Wojira. At this time lived in Ninjago two species of inhabitants were terrorized by Wojira and her power, the Merlopians, who lived under the sea, and the islanders, who lived on a small island. When the First Spinjitzu Master entered the realm and saw the chaos that Wojira was causing, he allied with the islanders and Merlopians and fought together against Wojira. When Nyad defeated Wojira and the seas calmed down, the First Spinjitzu Master gave the Storm Amulet, one of the two Amulets of Wojira, to the islanders to guard it from Wojira and any outsider who would wish to steal it, and the Keepers kept the oath.

The Island[]

Thousands of years later, when the Keepers realized that Wojira was awake, they had no choice but to offer sacrifices to her so they can keep her submissive. Unbeknownst to them, they were actually offering gold and their resources to Ronin, who used a boat that was made to resemble the sea serpent. As weeks passed, the Keepers mistook the ninja for wanting to steal the Storm Amulet, even though they just wanted to rescue Misako and Wu, who were captured by the islanders for the same reason. Declaring the ninja to be their prisoners forever, the Keepers took them all to a cell, except for Jay. As Jay believed that they wanted him to be their king because of his Elemental Powers, the Keepers wanted him so they can sacrifice him to Wojira, thinking that offering a human to the serpent would let her go back to sleep forever. However, the Keepers soon discovered from the ninja that they were tricked into giving away their treasures. The Keepers made up for their mistake by helping the ninja and making amends.

The Storm Amulet[]

Upon escorting the ninja to their village, the Keepers discovered that Kalmaar had intentions of utilizing the Storm Amulet to awaken Wojira and subsequently prepared for battle. However, the ninja advised that the amulet be taken as far away from the island as possible, given the strength of Kalmaar's forces. After much deliberation, Mammatus entrusted Nya with the Storm Amulet, thereby passing on the Keepers' oath to protect it. To their dismay, Mammatus and the other Keepers were later taken aback upon realizing that the amulet was a counterfeit.

Crystalized[]

After the Overlord conquered Ninjago City, the Keepers and Zippy joined Benthomaar and the Merlopians to help the ninja fight against the Crystal army.

Appearance[]

All Keepers are very reminiscent of humans, except for the color of their skin, which is a purple-pink radiant color. However, it is depicted as lavender in the flashback in "Master of the Sea," which might mean they originally had lavender skin before they started using Storm. They all also have yellow-orange eyes. On their skin, especially on the face, they have various characters resembling the Jungle Dragons painted in gold, white or purple. Their very distinctive feature is the large yellow teeth, which are usually sharp, except for two large teeth that come out of their mouths sideways. They are also gray around and between the eyes. They all have black hair color and wear hairstyles with their hair tied, although some are bald. As clothing, they wear simple straw or wooden clothing with green crystals except for the chief, whose clothing is gold. Some of them have a covered chest, others have the upper half of the body exposed. The chief also wears a large gold crown inlaid with crystals.

Female Keepers are very similar in appearance to males and do not have lashes or distinctive lips like most females in other cultures. The only distinguishing feature in this case is the division of the clothes into a bra and shorts.

Ranks[]

Chief[]

The main representative of their tribe is the Chief, who as king rules over them. This rank is hereditary which means that since the Battle of Nine Days, one family line of chiefs has ruled. As a chief, Mammatus also has a personal servant who carries things for him, such as a footstool or his staff. Being the leader of his tribe, the chief wears a gold armor instead of straw clothes, a cape, and a large gold crown inlaid with crystals on his head. However, this way of dressing for the chiefs developed later, as the chief who took over the Storm Amulet did not wear any of it.

Second-in-command[]

The second-in-command is the second highest rank among the Keepers. It is always just one islander who performs the most important tasks for the Chief. He is not marked with any special element and can look like any other islander.

Guard[]

The guard is another rank among the Keepers. Their task is to guard the Storm Amulet and perform tasks assigned to the Chief. They are marked with a high ponytail and a shaved rest of the head.

Thunder Keeper (non-canon)[]

The Thunder Keeper is another rank among the Keepers. Their role is ritual dance and singing, which they take very seriously. They also call out to the storms within the storm belt by doing their rituals to prevent any outsider from entering the Island of the Keepers.

Rumble Keeper[]

The Rumble Keeper is another rank among the Keepers. Their role is similar to that of the Rangers, but the Rumble Keepers are also gardeners who preserve the natural balance of their island.

Servant[]

The servant is probably the lowest rank among Keepers. They perform various inferior tasks and must constantly bow to their Chief.

Culture[]

The Keepers culture seems relatively simple, as they have lived on a hidden island in the Endless Sea since the beginning of time, where almost no humans have ever arrived. As a result, their culture did not develop much and remained at a very outdated level. Nevertheless, they were able to build their village on trees and create a zipline system that was able to transport them there from the docks.

As they were commissioned by the First Spinjitzu Master to protect the Storm Amulet of Wojira, they did so for ages and did not let anyone on their island.

Although mostly depicted as dangerous islanders, they also harvested and had a lot of fruit to eat. Most Keepers aren't much fun either, as PoulErik pointed out in "The Storm Amulet." They are also capable of laborious manual work, such as carving sculptures out of stone. Rumble Keepers are also largely gardeners who take care of the vegetation of their island.

There were also gold coins in their village, which they probably used as currency and sacrificed to a fake Wojira when she appeared.

Although they were actually afraid of Wojira, they showed their fear with immense respect and many sacrifices to get rid of the serpent.

They have some traditions, such as the tradition that no one who sees the Storm Amulet can ever leave their island.

Their other tradition is that the Rumble Keepers can participate in a ritual challenge and become Thunder Keepers if they prove themselves worthy in the challenge.[1]

Trivia[]

  • In the sets, they have a very similar skin color to the Geckles. They also have the same eyes as the Geckles.
    • Their skin color was the same in the "Master of the Sea" flashback as in the sets, so it is possible that before they started using Storm, they looked like that.
  • According to Mammatus, the reason the Keepers have the power of Storm is because they harnessed its lightning, like the Stone Guardians.[6]
  • They're the third villainous faction that are now allies of the ninja, the first three being the Serpentine, the Nindroid Army, and the Dragon Hunters.
  • The Keepers, the Dragon Hunters, and the Blizzard Samurai are the only villainous factions to never attack Ninjago so far.
  • The Keepers with the blue markings share the same hair piece as Otto from the LEGO Minions sets.
  • No children of the Keepers are shown in any of the episodes, so it is currently unknown whether they exist at all.
  • The Keepers are the first villainous faction to not wield a type of sword in the sets. This excludes 892178 PoulErik. As it is not a retail set.
    • However they are the 3rd villainous faction in a single season to not have any of their members wield a type of sword. The first being the Oni and the 2nd being the Re-Awakened. The Merlopians would later continue the trend after the Keepers.
