Chronicles

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.

Thirteen skills each guard a three-note story arc:

Skill	Note 1	Note 2	Note 3
Foraging	A Carved Waymark	The Gatherer's Rule	Seeds in the Ash
Logging	Rings Beyond Counting	The Planted Line	A Woodsman's Confession
Mining	Veins Like Script	The Hollow Hammer	The Warm Stratum
Fishing	Scales of Glass	The Ferryman's Bell	What the Coelacanth Saw
Cooking	The Long Table	A Recipe in the Old Hand	Salt That Sings
Crafting	Knots That Teach	The Unfinished Basket	Sigil in the Weave
Smithing	The Cold Forge	Bronze Remembers	The Oathblade's Twin
Alchemy	Glow Without Source	The Warden's Draught	Essence of What
Hunting	The Bloodless Kill	Alpha's Eye	The Last Great Hunt
Taming	First Friend	The Saddle That Fits All	Words They Answer To
Expeditions	The Guardian's Pact	They Do Not Hate You	The Empty Seat
Delving	Stairs, Not Caves	The Door of Amber	The Curator's Ghost
Farming	Soil That Answers	The Warden's Garden	Harvest Prayer

The capstone note, The Sigil, ties all thirty-nine together and hints at what lies beyond the Sundered Vale.
