The World of Korai Uji (WOKU) is an extended fictional universe that you can experience through theworldofkoraiuji.com. Like any other fictional universe, WOKU follows a cast of characters through different narratives - but what makes this sci-fi fantasy different is all the different ways you can dive in.
‍
There are 4 main narratives you can explore; In The Water, Second Testimony, Korainian ERA, and B&R Accounts of The Mother Isles. Each narrative has a unique vantage point to discover the world from. For example, In the Water explores the world from the perspective of one Korainian - Nykia Nykia, a Redscale from The Mid Regions. Meanwhile, Second Testimony follows the same timeline as In The Water - but from the perspective of 21 unique narrators.
‍
And it gets better - because not only are there written stories within each narrative, but also visual records, interactive games and even music. You don’t have to imagine Nykia’s first time at an Aqua Club, you can vibe to the beats along with her. You can see the rainbows that bring Rainbow to tears. Read the pages that informed the records of B & R.
‍
All that and so much more is waiting for you to dive in. Every experience is connected, and the narratives are constantly expanding. Sometimes chronologically, but other times in more mysterious ways. If you want the best experience, we recommend using the reading guide to decide what to dive into next.

There are many ways to experience The World of Korai Uji and its narratives. If you’re a reader, there are stories you can read and listen to. Want visuals to accompany the written word? There are records with extracts of Korainian texts, illustrations and more. How about a soundtrack and some music to go along with it? Or an interactive experience to top it all off?

With WOKU, the only limit to your enjoyment are the hours in a day. Find new ways to enjoy the narrative you’re already diving into by viewing all the experiences on offer below.

During the In The Water and Second Testimony narratives, the stories and experiences take place on Uji. The sloped and rocky risen land of Uji was a safe haven after a series of natural disasters forced Korainians to abandon the Mother Isles in 111BL. Cycles later, a government formed the colonies that made Uji their home - and eventually split the island into multiple sections of land known as regions.

As organised as expected, The Government of Uji’s Mainland keep up-to-date statistical data on the inhabitants of their territory. Produced by The Statistics and Mapping Department and ordained by The Chief, The Official Map of Uji is re-released every cycle for the record-keeping and strategic planning of Korai Uji. You can explore maps of Uji and more through the links below.

Korainians born on Uji are born all at once, each cycle, on a unique day every cycle. This is called a ‘birth group’. Every birth group shares a birth day, and since Korainians on Uji live until 88 (which is also the number of days in a cycle) they do not share their birth day with any birth groups other than their own.

Roughly 400 Korainians are in each birth group, and they hold a special connection to each other as age mates. This is very different from earth, where a shared birthday is sure to cause some issues! Nevertheless, many Korainians view birth days as a time for camaraderie - especially a 15th birth day. In fact, you’ll experience the pageantry through Nykia and her friends at the start of Chapter One, as they turn adult on Uji.
