korHOz

Korhoz is a name that appears primarily in speculative fiction, tabletop role-playing games, and online fan wikis. There is no single, canonical meaning for Korhoz, and the term is used across works to denote a variety of concepts. In some stories, Korhoz refers to a city or region; in others it designates a deity, a clan or faction, or a ceremonial practice. This fluid usage is characteristic of fan and indie-fiction lexicons, where a term can evolve with each new work.

Origins and etymology are not standardized. Korhoz is generally treated as a constructed or borrowed word rather than a term borrowed from a real language. Pronunciation guidance varies by author; some works render it as kor-HOz, others as kor-HOZ, and still others as kor-hodz.

In current practice, Korhoz tends to function as a flexible label within a fictional world rather than a fixed concept. It is commonly used in user-generated wikis, game modules, and short fiction to imply an aura of antiquity or mystique, without prescribing a specific narrative role. Because of its modular usage, readers should consult the specific work for the intended meaning in that context.
