Lore

**"Lore"** is the term that explains facts, traditions, beliefs and other world building information in Sins of the Soulless that a character MAY or MAY NOT know about. Unlike Masteries, Lore is not a skill in the traditional sense as it's not a skill that can be truly built on like Masteries can. Lore is simply knowledge that your character knows and prevents one's character from knowing "everything". Lore on itself has little effect on your character but down the road during certain situations, it can be quite beneficial to your character. Lore cannot be trained like Masteries, they are simply rewards gained through actions such as studying the subject you wish or being mentored as well as experiencing certain events. Having a few Lores is standard but a character that has a vast amount of lore is a sign of high prestige and honor, at least seen by those in the world itself as people tend to like people whom are knowledgeable or intelligent.

## **Important Notes**

* Your character DOES NOT KNOW EVERYTHING!
* Lore can apply to almost everything!
* Lore can apply to masteries, specifically Magic! Just Because you know how to combine certain elements or compounds in the real world doesn't mean your character would, especially when they are not skilled!
* Lore's are only rewarded by a Story DM or a regular DM
* Lore's can be earned in a free roaming thread however it must be approved by a Story DM or a regular DM
* Make sure to remind your Story DM or regular DM about the Lore's your character earned after doing a Quest has been added to your character's page If it hasn't already.
* If your character has a Lore about a subject, they doesn't necessary mean they know everything about that subject. Just because your character has a basic understanding of the Dark Lords, that doesn't mean you know about them in depth or know all the Dark Lords in existence, you simply wouldn't.
* The More Lore's a character receives, the more prestige a character will recieve
