Lore & History
The past shapes the present
▤
Lore gives meaning to the systems around it. This chapter will collect the public history characters can reasonably know while leaving uncertain truths, secret histories, and active mysteries inside the world.
In this chapter
Public knowledgeLegends
Stories can explain what people believe without guaranteeing that every detail is objectively true.
Institutions
Guilds, the Academy, settlements, factions, and other organizations gain depth when their history connects to current play.
Unanswered questions
The Codex should preserve mystery rather than spoil discoveries that are more powerful when encountered in the game.
Living history
Over time, player actions may become part of the history future characters inherit.
This volume will expand: the chapter is structurally complete and ready for additional canon as creature, homeland, and world-lore material is finalized.
