Luminoth Lore

Luminoth Lore is a type of Lore which appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It consists of both historical transcripts of the Luminoth race ("History" and "Conflict"), and messages centering on the hidden Sky Temple Keys ("A-Kul's Clues" and "Keybearer Lore"). The historical transcripts are encoded within color-coded holographic Luminoth Lore Projectors throughout Aether, and in order to be scanned, Samus's translator must be appropriately upgraded. Keybearer Lore is instead found in portable Luminoth Datapacs with the corpses of the appropriate Keybearer, and does not require a translator, while A-Kul's Clues are found on the pillars within the Sky Temple Gateway.
The historical transcripts are divided into "History" and "Conflict". "History" summarizes the Luminoth's "Golden Age", in which they discover and celebrate Aether, and their "Dark Age", in which Aether is struck by a Leviathan and the Ing appear. "Conflict" summarizes the three phases of the war against the Ing, in which they develop new technologies and methods, but are eventually defeated and forced to hibernate while awaiting a savior. The Keybearer Lore is simply divided into "Cadre 1" and "Cadre 2", and consists of the last testaments of each cadre's members. A-Kul's Clues are similarly divided, and consist of oblique references to the room in which the Keybearer's corpse can be found. If one is trying to get all of the scans, the clues must scanned before placing any of the remaining Sky Temple Keys into the pillars.
