A dark fantasy action roguelite based on Forgotten Runes Wizards Cult IP
The Council of the Five Flames is betrayed, its fire turned black, and a face-thief wears the Sage's smile. You are Aldus, Archmugus out of the Void — raised from cold ash because only the dead can rekindle what the living let die. Carve through six cursed realms, tear the mask from the traitor, and face the Evil Arcanist Black Goat of the Wood itself.
The Grammar of Magic
Every spell is a sentence you compose: a Trigger, a Form, and an Aspect. Swap any word and the spell changes — a projectile that fires on your dash, a nova that seeks the nearest foe, a void burst chained between enemies.
Cast · Strike · Dash · Return · Seek · Chain — when it happens.
Projectile · Nova · Burst · Orbit · Beam · Summon — what it takes.
The element that stains it — and the debuff it leaves behind.
Runes from every biome's shop that bend the sentence further — stack them onto your spells to sharpen damage, hasten cooldowns and swell their reach.
Burn, Freeze, Shock, Stagger, Slow, Confuse — turn enemies against their own.
Six realms · Six guardians
Lava-scarred halls where cinder imps spit burning pools and magma behemoths crack the earth.
Guardian — Ignarok, the Ashen ColossusA frozen prison of trolls that heal if you hesitate and drakes that rain hail from above.
Guardian — The Rimebound ColossusBrass cell blocks raked by chainsaw rails and charged plasma — dash through the blades, or bleed.
Guardian — The Galvanic WardenCrystal mines and halls of dead kings, where pots bite back and the King refuses to stay dead.
Guardian — Kharzul, the Petrified KingStorm-worn summits and one-tile bridges, hunted by tornadoes that follow you across the ridge.
Guardian — The Howling MonolithA graveyard adrift in the abyss — reapers step through shadow, and the dead rise twice.
Guardian — The Black Goat of the WoodThe run
Shuffled gauntlets of gate-band encounters, ending in a miniboss and a two-phase guardian with its own kill cam.
Coins burst from the fallen and persist between runs. Spend them at the shop that waits past every throne.
Relics, headgear, armor and footwear — lifesteal hauberks, crit-splash crowns, boots that reset your dash on a kill.
Rekindle the Five Flames, unmask Nick of El Dorado, and give the Council the ending it was denied.
Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult
Ichor and Ashes is forged in the world of the Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult — a decentralized fantasy franchise of 10,000 unique wizards living fully on-chain, whose lore is written by the community that collects them. The Council of the Five Flames, Sage Vatar of Psychic Leap and Archmugus Aldus Out of the Void himself step out of that shared universe, where every wizard is a character and every holder a storyteller — and their magic burns on here, spell by composed spell.
