Loring.

People have preconceived notations when they hear people talking about Lore. They might think its dorky fiction, but why? There’s lore all around us. All these things you know about your favorite celebrities, and the narratives around them, it’s all a form of lore. Let’s run through a couple instances. 

First LeBron James, the King.  He comes from nothing and fought through adversity to arise to earn his title the king. He’s created Dynasties and toppled them. Where he goes his loyal subjects (fans) will follow. He’s a righteous and caring King (the man built a school). Any adversary had better be wary when crossing his path, even when you have the advantage (warriors blew a 3-1 lead). 

In stark contrast to the righteous and noble King, we have Ozzy Osbourne. The Prince of darkness. Reasonable for corrupting the minds of the youth. Maybe not so much anymore, but for the better part of 2 and half decades Ozzy Osbourne was projecting his anti-family friendly, drug fueled persona onto the minds of impressionable youth. As parent you would’ve been terrified to find out your son our daughter is joining the army of the prince of darkness. Will your son or daughter be the next to bite the head off a bat? You should hope not. 

One more just to drive the point home. Kayne West, the Bard. The writer of songs heard around the world. The manifestations of his mind are mystery, but also so plain and obvious when he puts them in a song. He’s not to be confused for the King’s jester. 

I guess my point here is that Lore isn’t lame or boring. It makes a fictional game fun. It’s gives it depth it, it gives characters motives, it gives characters character.  ​
