Lorecraft

Prerequisite Skill: Literacy

Lorecraft is the art of researching, interpreting, and preserving the ancient knowledge and legends of the world. This skill combines scholarly pursuit with practical craftsmanship, allowing characters to uncover the forgotten lore of bygone eras.

Lorecraft is crucial for those who seek to unravel the world's hidden truths, whether it be the discovery of ancient ruins, the crafting of potent magical items, or the preservation of long-forgotten cultures.

Lorecraft relies on intelligence and wisdom.

Research

research <topic>

Example:

research Caeloth

research beast

The research command allows your character to delve into the depths of hidden lore and forgotten knowledge within a scriptorium. If you are skilled in research, you can use this command to uncover information on a specific topic, drawing from ancient scrolls, dusty tomes, and fragmented manuscripts.

How It Works:

Location Requirement: You must be in an Archivium location to conduct research.

Skill Check: Your success in uncovering information depends on your character’s Lorecraft skill.

Discoverable Content

Researching a topic can reveal:

Common knowledge known to many scholars.

Rare and obscure facts, depending on your skill level and luck.

Fragments of lore that may hint at deeper secrets.

Possible Outcomes:

If your skill level is too low for the topic, you may find nothing and conclude that further study is required.

You might get hints that spark a memory, suggesting you've heard something related before but cannot quite recall the details.

If successful, your character will uncover detailed information, which may include historical facts, hidden lore, or rare insights.

Examples:

Research keywords can be vague or specific

research Caeloth

Discover the secrets of the ancient city, its arcane history, or rumors of lost artifacts.

research beast

Uncover details about strange creatures, their habits, or legendary monsters that roam the land.

research Vulp

Try to find details about the Vulp

Note:

The rarity of information and the location in which it is being conducted affects your chances of success. Common topics are easier to research, while rare entries may require higher research skills or additional attempts.
