The '''Primal Chronicles''' are a collection of '''40 lore notes''' that tell the story of the Vale — the Wardens, the guardians' pact, the first tamer, and the sigil that marks it all. Notes surface on their own as you play, each opening a page in the codex and igniting a short double-XP burst.

== How Notes Are Found ==

* Chronicle notes are '''discovered by playing''', not bought or crafted. As you rack up completions in a skill, that skill's notes surface one at a time.
* There are '''three notes per skill'''. They always appear in a fixed order — you find a skill's first note before its second, and so on.
* Finds are steady and predictable rather than random: keep working a skill and its notes will come. This means no duplicates and no bad luck — every skill's three notes are guaranteed with enough play.
* The 40th note, '''"The Sigil"''', is the capstone: it is granted the moment you hold all 39 of the others.

== The XP Burst ==

Every note you find ignites a '''10-minute ×2 XP burst''' (carried by the "Echo of the Vale"). If you find another note while a burst is running, its timer refreshes — but bursts never stack past ×2.

== The Notes ==

Thirteen skills each guard a three-note story arc:
