Fictional universe
A fictional universe is an imagined setting created through stories, books, movies, or other media. It includes characters, locations, histories, and rules that shape the narrative. These universes can be entirely invented or inspired by real-world elements, providing a consistent backdrop for storytelling and exploration of themes. They allow creators and audiences to explore ideas, conflicts, and worlds beyond reality, offering immersive experiences and expanding the boundaries of imagination. Examples include the Harry Potter universe or the Star Wars universe, each with their unique environments, lore, and characters that make them compelling and recognizable.
