Getting Started

If you're reading this that means you've probably just bought your first Forgotten Runes character. Congratulations! You have now joined the ranks of many talented and creative individuals. This guide will serve as your introduction to Forgotten Runes and what benefits you can expect from owning a character.

The Story So Far

On June 30th 2021 at 8:30AM, a cult of 10,000 on-chain wizards was summoned by Magic Machine, with the goal of creating a decentralized media franchise where characters are owned by the community. Shortly after The Summoning, The Book Of Lore was released where you can inscribe your character's story or lore. The Book of Lore acts as Forgotten Rune's primary canon record. Once written into the Book of Lore, a wizard's story can't be erased (although it can be struck, see The Book of Lore).

Next came The Sacred Flame airdrop and the subsequent Wizard Burning event. Wizard's could be burned with a Sacred Flame to produce a Forgotten Soul (the wizard and flame are sacrificed in the process). The souls collection is Forgotten Runes' second official character collection and consists of a number of different undead creatures including Mythical Souls. During burning, a wizard's traits is taken into account for the resulting soul traits. I.E. burning a Kobold wizard would produce a Kobold soul. Burning isn't a guaranteed chance at a soul however as one may end up with an Undesirable.

We next skip to December of 2021 and the minting of the Forgotten Ponies.
