What makes VulcanVerse unique is that it is an open-world massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) backed by blockchain technology and lore written by fighting fantasy authors. What this means is that inside VulcanVerse, players can truly own assets in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs)

The primary assets that can be owned are Land, Vulcanites, Gods, and Items, with different types of assets in development.

These assets can be bought and exchanged in the marketplace, which has moved into the top 5 NFT marketplaces across all blockchains, with over $6m in trading volume. Remember, these NFTs have limited quantities with unique properties.

NFT assets can be purchased from https://market.vulcanforged.com/

In VulcanVerse, you can create your own quests and adventures, forage for NFTs, and battle against other Vulcanites.

VulcanVerse has its own unique token $PYR that can be used as a settlement, staking and gaming utility token.

$PYR powers the entire Vulcan Forged dApp ecosystem

LAND

Land inside Vulcanverse is divided into plots that can be owned, traded, and built upon. Each plot has a unique NFT ID that grants access to it in-game.

These plots are divided into four quadrants, each with its own unique characteristics and qualities

These quadrants are:

The Underworld of Hades, Gardens of Arcadia, Desert of Notus and Mountains of Boreas.

In the center of the map where the quadrants meet lies Vulcan City, neutral territory.

Each plot of land can be modified and built by the owner; in whichever way, they see fit.

VulcanVerse grants players who own land tools to terramorph and items to build on it.

Each plot of land can also be leveled up to unlock more assets, and even earn passively in the form of $PYR.

VULCANITES

Vulcanites are the primary creatures of the VulcanVerse. These formidable beasts accompany the player through their journey in VulcanVerse.

Each of them is unique and has skills that can be powered up. All Vulcanites have specific lore and belong to one of the four quadrants.

Vulcanites can be used to forage NFTs, fight against other Vulcanites, Spy on neighboring plots of land, and defend your land from intruders.

As of now, there are 28 known Vulcanites with more in development. Each vulcanite has a level and an edition that are important to know. The Level signifies their skill set limits, and their edition indicates how many of them will be available in world.

Gods — Titans and Olympians

Inside VulcanVerse there are Gods and Titans based on Greco-Roman mythology. These gods are not physically represented in-game but have a plethora of blessings and abilities to grant players, according to their own lore.

These Titans and Olympians are DYNAMIC NFTS meaning their look and level can change as they reach higher levels. Each will start at level 1 as a child and can be leveled up by locking $PYR into them.

ITEMS

Another category of NFTs are items that will be available in-game and will grant players perks and abilities by which to succeed in the VulcanVerse.

These items can also be bought, foraged, and traded.

Some examples are The Binding Spell of Typhon which can be collected with other items to reward you with a vulcanite or The Winged Boots of Hermes which grants an in-game speed bonus.
