ARRIVING IN LORE
Lore exists in a liminal space between the threshold of reality. A well known destination in the supernatural community, many folk travel to Lore intentionally by seeking out between-spaces. The most common points of entry exist at the Service Plaza and Transportation Center, but there are many unique ways into the city as there are supernatural beings.
​
Not everyone arrives in Lore on purpose. Humans especially have a knack for getting lost and turning up to the city, though supernatural creatures and animals can arrive by accident, too.
I arrived in Lore in 1997 when I walked through a patch of fog by the river just before dawn. When the fog cleared, I was standing in the Marketplace in Center city.
Being a talking goat during the Satanic Panic was no easy feat. I packed my bags and headed to Lore. I came in by opening the basement door in an abandoned house. Wound up walking out of a closet in City Hall!
I hadn't cleaned my closet in like, a really long time. When I finally got through all of the junk, I discovered a pair of pants I hadn't worn in six years and a door that led to gas station here in Lore.
I was missed my subway stop on the way home. When I exited at the next stop, I was standing on the Subway platform at the Transportation Center!
