What secrets do you know?

Lore is the set of cultural skills and knowledge accumulated over your character’s lifetime. Lore expands your abilities beyond your calling, and also grants you starting items and resources. Some lore types are broadly known throughout the Skysea's origins, while others are more obscure, only available to certain origins. You start the game with 2 lore types:

1 from your origin, aligned to your calling
1 from your origin, of any calling alignment

…unless you’re a Wanderer, in which case you choose 1 lore from your origin and 1 lore from any origin; neither must be aligned to any calling.
