When I first started looking into Enshrouded's lore, I was blown away by how deep it went. What I initially thought would be a pretty quick project, turned into a mammoth of a task! Going through the 300+ lore notes in the game, plus all of the NPC dialogue, item descriptions, dev AMAs and piecing all of it together! I hope that after watching you'll be able to better understand the world of Embervale, and see all of the subtle references to the lore the developers have scattered amongst it. I also hope it gets you excited for the characters we'll likely encounter leading up to the game's 1.0 release, coming Spring 2026!
