: ''For Lore mechanics in the [[Legacies#Exile|Exile legacy]], see [[Lore (Exile)]]. [[File:{{PAGENAME}}.png|right|64px|{{PAGENAME}}]] {{Quote|Knowledge of the invisible arts. I can use it to attract followers, to perform rites, to open the way to the Mansus, to seek my ascension...|In-game text}} Lore is an aspect attributed to Lore Fragments. == Lore Fragments == Lore Fragments are a resource that can primarily be obtained from studying books, but can also be obtained from various interactions. The type of Lore is indicated by its color. There is one lore fragment type for each principle, including {{Lore|Lantern}}, {{Lore|Forge}}, {{Lore|Edge}}, {{Lore|Winter}}, {{Lore|Heart}}, {{Lore|Grail}}, {{Lore|Moth}}, {{Lore|Knock}}, and {{Lore|Secret Histories}}. The magnitude (level) is shown by the angle of the grey arc. If it is closer to a full circle it is a higher Principle. Lore fragments can be also be upgraded, downgraded, and subverted by using the [[study]] verb, as referenced below. == Upgrading Lore Fragments == Any two lore fragments of the same principle and level can be combined by using the [[study]] verb. The result will be the next level up from the table below. This is two levels higher than the source lore fragments. A new mechanic added to the research system is [[challenges]]. Each piece of lore will have a few challenge aspects on them that allow you to figure you what you will need to upgrade or subvert the lore in question. The aspects are {{Challenge|knowledge}}, {{Challenge|intuition}}, {{Challenge|grim}}, {{Challenge|obsessive}}, {{Challenge|paradox}}, {{Challenge|illumination}}, and {{Challenge|practical}}. During the process of studying, the verb requires various cards to overcome the challenges. The challenges are specific to each fragment, with higher level lore having more and more difficult challenges. Reason and Passion used will either be exhausted or destroyed, glimmering or erudition will be consumed, and all others will simply be returned. If those cards are not available during the course of the studying, the action trying to be performed fails and the cards are returned to the board. If one or more challenges were overcome, but the upgrade was still failed than if the same two lore cards are used the challenges that were previously completed don't need to be repeated. Example: [[Study]] {{Lore|Forge}} x4 lore fragment + {{Lore|Forge}} x4 lore fragment will result in a {{Lore|Forge}} x6 lore fragment if the challenges are completed successfully. == Downgrading Lore Fragments == [[Study|Studying]] a lore fragment of level 4 or higher with [[reason]] will result in two of the next lower level lore fragments upon success. Example: [[Study]] {{Lore|Grail}} x8 lore fragment + [[reason]] will result in two {{Lore|Grail}} x 6 lore fragments upon success. == Subverting Lore Fragments == Subverting lore fragments works the same as upgrading except the fragments belong to a different lore. On success, you will receive the next level up of the lore type you subverted to. Here are the rules for it: * The fragments must have the same level * {{Lore|Knock}} and {{Lore|Secret Histories}} fragments can not be subverted. * Any lore fragment except {{Lore|Secret Histories}} can be subverted to {{Lore|Knock}}. *The [[challenges]] from both fragments must be completed. * All other lore fragments can be subverted into one other lore using the following circular progression: {{Lore|Lantern}} -> {{Lore|Forge}} -> {{Lore|Edge}} -> {{Lore|Winter}} -> {{Lore|Heart}} -> {{Lore|Grail}} -> {{Lore|Moth}} -> (restart with {{Lore|Lantern}}) {| class="wikitable" !Lore 1 !Lore 2 !Result |- | {{Lore|Moth}} | {{Lore|Lantern}} | {{Lore|Lantern}} |- | {{Lore|Lantern}} | {{Lore|Forge}} | {{Lore|Forge}} |- | {{Lore|Forge}} | {{Lore|Edge}} | {{Lore|Edge}} |- | {{Lore|Edge}} | {{Lore|Winter}} | {{Lore|Winter}} |- | {{Lore|Winter}} | {{Lore|Heart}} | {{Lore|Heart}} |- | {{Lore|Heart}} | {{Lore|Grail}} | {{Lore|Grail}} |- | {{Lore|Grail}} | {{Lore|Moth}} | {{Lore|Moth}} |- | {{Lore|Knock}} | Any | {{Lore|Knock}} |} Example: [[Study]] {{Lore|Lantern}} x4 lore fragment + {{Lore|Forge}} x4 lore fragment will result into {{Lore|Forge}} x6 upon success. == Excess Lore Fragments == Avid readers will likely find their board overflowing with Lore fragments. The overall amount of Lore is conserved when upgrading, downgrading, or subverting fragments. With the exception of {{Lore|Secret Histories}} (which can always be Explored), there are two ways to permanently remove Lore cards: * The [[Rite|Rite of the Watchman's Sorrow]] consumes the Lore it is given to enact a rite. This is generally the easiest way to delete unwanted Lores, and is available relatively early from [[On What Is Contained By Silver]] at [[Morland's Shop]]. * Level 14 lore fragments are Unique, meaning that creating a second copy will grab the existing copy instead; thus, creating a second copy of level 14 lore deletes the level 12 lore used to make it. Due to the amount of time needed to upgrade lores to maximum level, and the lack of any reward, this is generally inferior to using the Rite of the Watchman's Sorrow. If done anyway, {{Lore|Knock}} is the easiest lore to do this with due to its ability to subvert any other lores. == Lore Fragment Levels & Names == The following is a table of the names for each magnitude of each principle lore fragment: {| class="wikitable" |+ !Magnitude/Principle !{{Lore|Lantern}} !{{Lore|Forge}} !{{Lore|Edge}} !{{Lore|Winter}} !{{Lore|Heart}} !{{Lore|Grail}} !{{Lore|Moth}} !{{Lore|Knock}} !{{Lore|Secret Histories}} |- |2 |<span title="It has been expressed like this: 'Each hour has its colour, but colour exists only when there is light.'">[[A Watchman's Secret]]</span> |[[A Smith's Secret]] |[[A Knife's Secret]] |[[A Sexton's Secret]] |<span title="There are common sentiments in every thunderclap.
