Lore represents a narrow, specialized field of knowledge in the Starfall Galaxy—things like Terran Lore, Drift Lore, Guild Lore, Outlaw Lore, Temporal Lore, or Rift Lore. Each Lore skill is more specific than broad skills like Arcana, Society, or Occultism, and is chosen by the player and GM when it’s first taken.
Lore is the historian’s currency, the grifter’s secret, and the pilot’s edge in the Rift: it covers local expertise, professional training, and deep cultural or technical niche knowledge. Knowing the right Lore can unlock hidden routes, spot scams, decode guild contracts, or recognize dangers that more general skills gloss over.
Even if you’re untrained in Lore, you can use it for the following general skill actions.
