Lore

The Spirit Mod has several lore items scattered around to make the world feel just that tad more alive, and to give items, enemies, and areas more of a purpose. Guides, Journals, and Tales contain lots of text and can be scrolled through if long enough, while Notes bring up static images and text. Guides and Notes do provide some help in the early game by detailing various items the player can obtain, or biomes they can visit. Journals and Tales are almost entirely filled lore about the world.

This page simply catalogs these items. To see the full transcripts and find how to obtain them, see the individual pages. All of the authors are fictional.
