Lores

Lores are learned knowledge. They are usually not applied to an active skill, but rather, information someone has studied. This includes studies and sciences one might learn in any school as well as magical and spiritual lores found in the setting. In some places, there is a "lore" version and a scientific version of a specific knowledge - animal lore vs. zoology, for example. This differentiates between more mystical knowledge and scientific understanding.
