Lore in games goes beyond the simple story that it gives you, sometimes games offer additional stories through many things. You can find more lore in side quests for example, with some games offering quests from different characters so you can understand them better. Others take a more passive approach to storytelling through environmental storytelling where the setting tells the story itself. Others keep bonus lore in collectibles or codexes that the player can unlock through their gameplay. In this guide, we’ll show you where to get all the story bits in the Hermes Fortress in Thymesia.

Continuing on through the linear path of the area and you should see a house with an open doorway. Go inside and there should be your next lore bit. This one has been written by someone on a piece of paper detailing what has happened. Basically, it seems like they’ve run out of food and water.
Continuing on the level you should see an area with a water fountain. Next to it is a fire with some corpses, there lies another lore bit. It’s a diary of a soldier during the plague and talks about how they started burning the bodies to purify the corpses of the sickness.
Going through the level again you’ll encounter a graveyard. Next to the big tree in the middle of some graves is another lore bit. This happens to be a diary of a resident saying that something happened on the King’s Birthday and also, how the epidemic is spreading.
The last bit of lore is in a corner on the streets, situated on a wooden platform. It states the situation of the roads leading to all the regions in the kingdom being either blocked by soldiers or monsters.
