Lore

From Mizahar Lore

This article is about a rule of the game.

The term Lore depicts accumulated facts, traditions, or beliefs about a particular subject. This subject, in general, is very specific and doesn't fit into the traditional skill groups because its truly not a buildable skill in the sense that as you know more about the knowledge, you get better at something. Lore knowledge is just simple knowledge that is somewhat unchanging and does little to effect your skill. Lore cannot be trained and built upon like a traditional skill.

Instead, they simply are what they are, usually unchanging. Many topics, such as 'Who are the Gods?' can result in a Lore award depending on which god is studied. If a person studied Tyveth, they would be awarded a Lore - Tyveth denoting they know all about this god and his religion. The same holds true for specific histories. If someone studied the records of Syliras and how it was founded by say talking to a Syliran Knight or reading the public records available in the Syliran City Hall, then they would be awarded a Lore - Syliras History.

Lore is a powerful tool that can be applied in a multitude of ways. Having a vast lore list should be a sign of prestige for a player character. And Lore should be awarded routinely and frequently. If a character is involved in a specific battle, they will have lore of that battle. It is just simply that easy.

"I never knew the multitude of secret messenger trails that ran the length and breath of Mizahar until I joined The Couriers. Now I know all the secret ways to get between Falyndar and Eyktol without crossing the water or running into a multitude of people. " - Evan Sunrunner, on the Lore of Courier Trails
