Enter the Forge in good faith.

Using Astralith Forgeworks

You may browse stories, lore, world pages, public community discussions, public profiles and guilds, podcasts, and public Arcade pages without a Forge account or age check. Account-linked features—including saved progress, profile editing, guild membership, invitations, alliances, posting, reporting, and connected competition—require a qualifying Forge account and acceptance of the current Terms of Use and Community Guidelines. A suspended, banned or removed account cannot restore participation simply by accepting the policies again.

Age and account eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create or use a Forge account and participate in account-linked community or competitive features. Public browsing does not require a date of birth. Forge account enrollment requires a date-of-birth eligibility check; the date itself is not retained after the eligibility calculation. Do not provide a false birth date or use another person’s authenticated account to evade the account age requirement.

Account identity and pictures

Your authenticated email must be valid for the account you use to sign in. Keep control of that sign-in account. Astralith Forgeworks lets you choose a separate public handle so your private sign-in identity does not need to become your community identity. Profile and guild names must not be vulgar, hateful, sexually explicit, threatening, unlawfully used, or misleading. Do not impersonate another person, company, moderator, or Astralith representative.

Profile pictures must contain no nudity or sexual imagery and must meet all community rules, including the prohibition on unrelated advertising. Upload only material you have permission and the necessary rights to share. Member-written names and profile introductions, and uploaded pictures, require human approval before public display. An upload receipt is not approval.

Community participation and guilds

Participation means agreeing to the Community Guidelines across the forum, profiles, guilds, invitations, and alliances. Advertising and promotions unrelated to Astralith Forgeworks are prohibited on these surfaces, including links and pictures. Every new discussion and reply, member-written profile or guild revision, and uploaded picture is held for human approval. Local safeguards and optional AI text screening can assist review. A missing, unavailable, or clear AI result does not bypass the human approval requirement.

Guild membership invitations and alliance proposals are on-site requests. They take effect only when accepted by the appropriate recipient. Guild leaders may manage their own group’s membership and alliances; that role does not give site moderation powers or imply employment, partnership, or endorsement by Astralith Forgeworks. Guilds and alliances cannot change official canon.

Disclose AI-generated or AI-assisted text where the submission form asks. You remain responsible for the content and your right to share it. Moderators can reject submissions, hide or restore material, lock discussions, and review reports or appeals. Approval does not guarantee truth, legality, or suitability for every reader.

Your contributions

You keep whatever rights you already hold in material you submit. Deliberately submitting a community contribution, profile picture, or guild material gives Astralith Forgeworks non-exclusive permission to store it, screen and review it, display it if approved, reproduce it as technically necessary, and moderate it for operation and protection of the site and community. Do not submit material you do not have the right or required consent to share. Draft text kept in the local workbench is not a community submission.

Astralith worlds and intellectual property

The site’s original worlds, written canon, characters, setting material, artwork, branding, game presentation, and other Astralith-created material are protected works where applicable. Community theories, predictions, roleplay, and Arcade results do not become official canon merely because they appear on the site. Do not present Astralith material as your own, commercially exploit protected material without permission, or use automated extraction to reproduce substantial portions of the Archive.

Arcade fairness

Leaderboards and recorded challenges are competitive community features. Do not falsify scores, automate play, tamper with requests, exploit bugs to manufacture results, or use multiple identities to evade limits. Astralith Forgeworks may reject or remove records that fail validation or compromise fair competition.

Availability and change

Astralith Forgeworks is an evolving independent media project. Features, worlds, games, community tools, and availability may change as the Forge grows. We aim to preserve legitimate account records and canon carefully, but uninterrupted availability is not guaranteed.

Enforcement, safety and appeals

Astralith Forgeworks reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to reject, hide or remove any contribution, picture, profile or guild, and to block, suspend, ban or remove a user’s access to its products or community when deemed necessary to protect the community, enforce these terms, address security concerns, or respond to unlawful activity. Serious concerns may require action without advance warning. Do not evade restrictions through another account or another person’s identity.

Account restrictions prevent use of protected signed-in features and withhold the restricted member’s public community presence. The current controls do not identify and block every anonymous visit. Removal from participation or public view does not automatically erase records; moderation evidence and account information may be retained for legitimate safety, legal and review purposes as described in the Privacy Policy. Decisions are recorded. Restoring account access does not approve rejected or hidden material.

Credible threats and suspected unlawful activity are escalated for review and will be reported to appropriate authorities when warranted or legally required. Records may be preserved and lawfully disclosed for those purposes. Automated screening does not make legal findings or contact authorities. For immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

For an appeal, privacy concern, removal request, or intellectual-property notice, use Contact the Forge or dickensonavery@astralithforgeworks.com, including if your account is restricted. Include the relevant page URL or submission reference and explain your concern. Do not resend exploitative or otherwise harmful material. Intimate-image removal requests do not require an account. A report requests human review; it is not an automatic legal finding.

Free creator tools and your work

You may use and adapt the free workbench prompts to develop your own stories, settings, and games, including commercial projects. You retain whatever rights you hold in your own contributions. The prompts are standalone exercises and do not add to Astralith canon or grant rights in Astralith’s worlds, characters, or branding.

Keep a download of writing you want to preserve. The Creator’s Table saves in this browser when storage is available; this is not an account backup. No exclusive copyright in generated material, publication outcome, audience, or income is promised.

Free downloads and voluntary support

The complete Worldbuilder’s Field Kit is free to download. Its included usage terms permit your own resulting personal or commercial creative projects and restrict redistribution or resale of the blank kit. No contribution, account, or subscription is required.

The Support page links to voluntary contributions through Cash App. A contribution does not purchase a product, unlock content, create a subscription, confer creative control, or promise a future release. Cash App handles the payment under its own terms; opening the link is not a completed contribution.

No merchandise shop or preorder is currently offered through this site. Requests for future merchandise are expressions of interest only. For a download or contribution question, contact the Forge without sending card details or account credentials.

Questions and updates

The current version of these terms will remain publicly available here. Material changes may require renewed account acknowledgement. Questions may be sent to dickensonavery@astralithforgeworks.com.
