I Fought the Lore and the Lore Won

The Lore is somewhat like history but is generally not found in history books. It is more likely past down, generation by generation, mouth to ear verbally. The Lore wins over history since history is written by those in power at the time. Whereas, the Lore transcends historical documentation by the very fact that it is not written, it is simply held.

Lore also transcends time. It is not really important when Lore happened or who made Lore happen or why Lore happened. Lore just is Lore. Now Lore is often times prefixed by the word "ancient". We often hear the phrase "the ancient lore" of such and such. Now this is not to be confused with "the law of the land." Law is not Lore. They are actually pronounced slightly differently.
