The Forge Codex
How the Forge, Realms, and champions all connect.
StrumyForge is a hybrid world where physical coins awaken digital champions. The Forge Codex is your guide to how everything fits together – from the Nine Realms and rarity tiers to binding, Surges, and the Vault.
If you're curious what you actually get when you hold a coin, this is the place to start.
What is StrumyForge?
StrumyForge is a multiversal battle-forging universe. Each physical bronze coin is tied to a single champion – a Forge-Form – drawn from one of the Nine Realms. When you bind the coin with its activation code, that champion wakes up in your online Vault as a fully realised digital character.
The key idea is simple: the coin is proof of ownership, the champion is who you play with, and the Forge keeps everything in balance so champions stay fun and relevant long term.
The Nine Realms
The Nine Realms are both origin worlds and rarity tiers. Where a champion comes from says a lot about how they fight – and how hard they are to find.
Common Realms
- Gaia – primal world of forests, beasts, and rootstone guardians.
- Cryptania – cursed borderlands of moonlit hunts and shadowed packs.
- Lumoria – radiant kingdoms of armour-clad sentinels and steady light.
Rare Realms
- Otharion – razor-edged alien frontiers and exoskeletal hunters.
- Aionis – engineered metropolises of constructs, automatons, and living machines.
- Nolandia – phase-shifted beings who flicker between dimensions at impossible speed.
Mythic & God-Tier Realms
- Draconis – smelted skies, volcanic citadels, and dragon-born warlords.
- Mythion – echoing temples of legend, gods of judgment and lore.
- Primordia – the origin layer: cosmic sovereigns and reality-shaping entities.
On the coins, the Realm also doubles as your rarity tier. Commons, Rares, Mythics, and a single God-tier are all encoded directly into the world itself – no separate colour variants needed.
Physical coins & digital champions
Every StrumyForge coin is a real, weighty metal artefact minted in antique bronze. The physical piece carries a unique serial number and an activation code printed on a separate card inside the blind pack.
When you enter that code on the StrumyForge website, the Forge binds that hardware to a single digital champion in your Vault. From that point on, the coin and the champion move together – if you trade the coin, the champion goes with it.
Binding, Surges & the Vault
- Binding – entering your serial + activation code to awaken the champion tied to that coin.
- Surges – elemental or thematic affinities (like Fire, Air, Earth, Shadow, Light, and rarer Ascended types) revealed when you bind.
- The Vault – your online base where all bound champions live, ready for future modes, missions, and collection tools.
The Vault and Arena features will roll out after the first physical wave is in players' hands, so everything is built around real collections rather than promises.
Combat, balance, and design philosophy
StrumyForge is being built as a no–power-creep system. Champions don't get bigger numbers forever – instead, they unlock alternate abilities, passive traits, and cosmetic "Legacy" upgrades that deepen how they play without invalidating earlier releases.
The first planned modes focus on tight, readable battles: 1v1 duels, then expanded team fights and PvE encounters. The goal is to keep matches tactical and characterful, not grindy.
Nothing on this page is a binding legal promise – it's a snapshot of the vision as the project heads into its first physical launch.
For collectors first.
StrumyForge is designed from the ground up as a collector-first project. The coins are meant to feel like artefacts you'd be proud to keep, display, or hand down. The digital layer exists to give those artefacts a living counterpart – not to replace them.
Rarity is encoded in the Realms, trading always revolves around the physical pieces, and champions remain usable even as new releases arrive.
