Xa-Koro is the southernmost Koro on Mata Nui, and is devoted to the worship of Makuta and the practice of Xa-Kuta magic.
Landscape[]
Xa-Koro is built on an island in the Kumu Islets. It has thick, forbidding stone walls which reach almost to the edge, essentially fortifying the entire island. It can only be reached from the mainland by boat. Inside, its Matoran dwellings are similar to those found in the other Koros. One district is well known for its trade in Xa-Kuta trinkets.
Well-known landmarks include Market Square, where most trade takes place; the Docks, from which all ships launch and land; and the Xa-Koro Library, filled with many books and scrolls, mainly on subjects pertaining to Xa-Kuta and how to serve Makuta.
Hierarchy[]
- High Priest of Makuta - named Caiaphas, head of the Xa-Kuta religion and second in authority to Makuta only.

- Inquisitorial High Priests - a council of priests in charge of the Inquisition
