    With Lore, is there a master list of things I can take, or is it a free-form, general thing?
    Secondly, if it is general, will the lore matter in game? (IE: I have Lore: Building Structure, is this building safe and stable?)

    Thanks!

    It is a pretty general thing. There is certain Lore in game that will be "unlocked" in game, others can be purchased from the start. the main purpose of Lore is to give a player a small advantage in very specific and specialized circumstances.

    Think of Lore more like history and less like information. There will never be a Lore: Building Structure as that is information not history. There may be Lore: Ruins of (Insert Lost Race here). It has some but very little in game value, until the specific circumstance arises. Some Lore is also used to unlock advanced skill lists for different classes.

    Alright, thanks. So is there a list we can pick from at the beginning, or can it not be taken until it is unlocked? Does it unlock for everyone, or can only the ones who found it learn it?

    You can choose any lore you want. Some request will require it to be unlocked. For example if you want to take Lore: Origins of the Fae...that will need to be unlocked. That's not a common history to know. If you take Lore: Fae, we'll give you a General Fae Write up. So it kind of depends.

    Lore in game, is learned only by the people who want to learn the lore. There is a difference between having the Skill Lore: and having knowledge of something. I know a little about a lot of the Presidents. My i would never consider myself to have Lore: US Presidents. Additionally, at times throughout the game only players with certain Lore skills will get to/have to/discover/etc... something that requires that specific skill to do.

    You can choose any lore you see of others lists, or pick a lore that your character would know. More often than not we'll work it in to the game somewhere.
