There are actually quite a few places to go but even then lore is pretty sparce.

Tons of info and links.

Though when researching lore there are a few things to remember for roleplay:
- Not all 'LORE' is true - Like real history, people make mistakes. Especially further in history you go back the less reliable our record of it is. Not to mention the whole "The winner writes the history books" and so forth.Â
- Unless you are playing a dedicated Historian it's unlikely your character will know every last lore detail.Â
- It's also PERFECTLY IN-CHARACTER to get lore facts wrong - I dunno about you but I get historical facts wrong all the time.Â
- Clans and isolated social groups are ok to have different traditions than the norm - I play a keeper and have PC siblings. We tried to stick to what little Keeper lore there is but it's vague at best. To make do with this we decided to be a rather isolated clan.Â
