Lore

Bits of lore can be discovered by visiting locations, examining objects, completing quests, talking to NPCs and defeating enemies. Once discovered, lore can be read in the third tab of the Quest Log.

Achievements for collecting lore include:
 * Student of History - 10 entries
 * Historian - 50 entries
 * Master Historian - 100 entries
 * Sage - 250 entries

Some bits of lore are found through class or race quest lines. Classes and races that have identical quest lines:
 * Drow includes Drow and Menzoberranzan Renegade
 * Elves includes Wood Elf, Moon Elf and Sun Elf
 * Fighters includes Great Weapon Fighter and Guardian Fighter

Note: "Completed" is the game's term for when all of a quest's objectives have been met. "Resolved" is the game's term for when a quest's final reward is given and the quest removed from the quest log.
