The Kyrath Codex — A Scrivener's Account of the Realm

The scriveners have finished their first pass.

The Kyrath Codex is now open to the public: https://frostywren.com/kyrath/codex/

It is the official record of the realm — every warden, every foe, every edict, every talent, every folly, every region — laid out in an illuminated style befitting a kingdom that has held the line for a thousand years.

What's inside

🏰 The Universe — shared canon for every game set in Kyrath.

• 10 Factions — the peoples of the realm and the forces that march against them, each with their own history, sigil, and place in the long story of Kyrath

• 5 Regions — the deep forests, pastoral heartlands, dry steppes, volcanic badlands, and the transition zones where biomes bleed into one another

⚔ Defense of Kyrath — the game's complete reference.

• 9 Wardens with full progression tables — every rank, every stat, every promotion cost

• 24 foes in the Bestiary — from Spriggan skitterers to the slow-walking menace of a Warlord

• 21 Edicts and 17 Boons — every modifier that twists a battle

• 41 Talents across the tree, plus 4 Capstones

• 2 Follies — The Crucible and The Siege — twenty tiers apiece

• 7 Afflictions — debuffs wrought on foe and defender alike

• 13 Campaign levels and 13 Skirmish arenas

• 26 Honours worthy of remembrance

Every page is written in the voice of a court scrivener. Every number comes straight from the game, so when the game updates, the Codex updates with it.

This is the first time the full shape of Kyrath is visible in one place — both the game you're about to play, and the wider world it sits inside. Future Kyrath titles will share the Universe layer. Defense of Kyrath is simply the first chapter.
