Simple, but very functional - excited to invite all of you into the Keeper's Vault very soon :)
Really excited for this! I have enjoyed the... uh quick question what is the forums language policy? I read the sticky but I don't remember. In any case this is the first game lore I have really enjoyed just reading and has been structured in a way that its not just a data dump.
Will the Keeper's vault just be lore or will it also include racial and class descriptions? I know you guys are doing a lot of work but I think it will be easier to attract more people and sponsors and what not with those things.

Cram, some things are prone to change for one reason or another, but both of those features will be on the site. Not all at launch, but in time.

Hey cram9030, thanks for the great feedback, so happy to hear you are enjoying the Lore as it is unfolding!
The Keeper's Vault will ultimately (and eventually) include the following:
- The origin account of Terminus
- The full account of the letters between Narian and Kaolyen
- The playable races of Pantheon and their Lore
- The classes of Pantheon and their Lore, descriptions, abilities, etc.
- The Major and Minor NPCs of Terminus, updated as new ones are discovered
- The bestiary which will account for many of the creatures of Terminus, updated as new ones are discovered
- Maps and zone descriptions of the world of Terminus
- Concept Art
- All game music will be released and hosted there
- Lore-related media and podcasts will be hosted there
- Fan Fiction
- Lore-related news and events
Much of these aspects of the Lore are still in-progress, however, and will not be reflected in The Vault until completed and set in stone. Still, we want to go ahead and establish a home for the Lore of Terminus as a whole, and so we are bringing up the site up sooner than later and will be rolling out updates as quickly and consistently as we can!

Appreciate the clarification as always Joppa. These type of communications are very helpful and provide the excitement/anticipation of "what's to come" and nice question cram9030.

So will that mean that the Wiki that is ont eh website will be deleted/done away with since the majority of stuff that was on the wiki will be in the Vault now?
Well, I don't want to say definitively what will happen to the Lore Wiki here on the site yet, but my thought is that we might phase it out in the weeks following the launch of the Vault. We could try to keep it populated to mirror the Vault site, but that would be counter-productive to our goal of establishing the Vault as the official hub for all of Pantheon's Lore.
Also, the reason we're putting the time and energy into creating the Keeper's Vault is for two main reasons:
(1) Dramatically improved functionality, organization and the visual quality of how the Lore can be presented.
(2) To make the official canon of Pantheon's Lore crystal clear as we move forward. In other words, if it's in the Keeper's Vault, it is official.
Hope that is helpful Sogo!
Reht said:Just out curiousity, what happened to the Keeper's Vault?
Reht -
Currently the Keeper's Vault is locked tight, sequested behind an Archai seal and manned by members of Dythiir's Hand. The Keeper's life was threatened a few dozen too many times, and his base of operations was deemed too hazardous for a time.
Weeellll perhaps that's not quite what happened. When the new site launched, we merged the content in the Vault with the Lore portion of this site. Everything should be here that was there. We didn't feel at that time we had enough public content to keep both storehouses full. However down the road, when more Lore is public-facing and less is driving internal development, we will reconsider having a dedicated Lore site and reopening the Vault.
In the meantime, trust that the Keeper is hard at work on Terminus, the affairs of earthlings notwithstanding.
