Since this has become my new MMO I feel about as naked as I did when I first started EQ. I know almost nothing about the lore after playing some kojan and qalia starter areas. Ive learned a good amount about the Ulvari and ksaravi(sp?) Little else though. And while I enjoy it. I would rather not go to every racial city to learn all their lore.
you can check out http://www.thetelonproject.com/vanguard-lore It's not all of it, but there is a nice chunk of lore there.
There's bit and pieces around the net. There's some here at: http://www.thesafehouse.org/vanguar...uardLoreTOC.php
You should also check out the safe house. Though, not prominently active much anymore, there are still some really good reads there. Also another good read: Silky Venom And another good read: VG Wikia
