Earth's surface is a graveyard of steel and silence. The endless wars for water, energy, and rare minerals shattered every nation, every city, every leader.

From the wreckage, only fragments of technology remained broken machines, abandoned blueprints, corrupted AIs whispering half-truths.

The Forge is not a factory. It is a crucible part machine, part myth. A sprawling network where humanity's last engineers and scavengers reawaken the relics of a dead age.

Some parts carry the resonance of old-world AIs. Others are forged from rare alloys mined from fallen satellites. A few are wrapped in mystery their origin unknown, but their power undeniable.
