Kau — The Seasons

The world turns through elemental seasons, each bringing different bonuses and challenges. World events emerge from the collective actions of all players.

"Wai wai" — Water is wealth. When sovereign scribes code without AI, the world's wai regenerates.

The Seasonal Cycle

Eight seasons rotate through the TEK8 elements, each lasting roughly 30 days. When a season's element matches your territory's element, activities earn bonus points. The world's wai balance rises with sovereign scribing and falls with AI consumption — when it runs too low, a Wai Drought event triggers.

Emergent Events

Season End & Carryover

When a season ends, territory claims are archived as historical records. The top 100 players carry over 10% of their earned XP, plus badges and titles. fCC certifications earned during the season are permanently recorded in the carryover ledger.
