History[edit]
The Loreborn have a long and storied history, dating back to the dawn of civilization. They are said to have been created by a powerful wizard who sought to imbue his creation with the power of knowledge. Over the centuries, the Loreborn have become a respected and influential society, with their scholars and magical weavers sought after by rulers and leaders across the world. However, their love of knowledge and intellectual pursuits has often led them into conflict with those who seek to control or suppress knowledge.
Society[edit]
The Loreborn are a highly intellectual and magical society, with a deep respect for knowledge and learning. They value education and scholarship above all else and believe that knowledge is the key to understanding the universe. Loreborn society is divided into three main classes: the scholars, the guardians, and the weavers. The scholars are responsible for the acquisition and preservation of knowledge, while the guardians protect that knowledge and ensure its safekeeping. The weavers are the magical practitioners of the society, responsible for creating and controlling magical energy.

Loreborn names are often chosen for their meaning or significance, with many names referencing famous scholars or historical events. Some common male names include Arin, Kael, and Theron, while common female names include Althea, Lyra, and Selene.
