Seth "Rex" — Founder & Flamekeeper of the Forge

Guided by story, shaped by service, and driven by the sparks of imagination, Rex founded Umbral Forge Studios™ to turn myth into something you can touch and play. Each world is hammered into being through fire, patience, and purpose — a reminder that creation itself is an act of courage.

‘The fire only fades if we let it.’ -Rex

Tides & Terror

Tides & Terror is a tabletop roleplaying game set on the opposite side of the continent from Pyraxis, where the sea has reclaimed a once-great civilization. Unlike Ash & Embers, a story of rising to greatness, Tides & Terror is a story of survival. When an unimaginable tidal catastrophe reduces a thriving nation to shattered ruins, ordinary people must endure, adapt, and rebuild. Forge bonds with mighty Tidewyverns, explore the drowned ruins of Thalassyra, and discover that true strength isn't measured by how high you rise—but by your resolve to keep moving after everything has fallen.
