Lore Definitions (Glossary) — Pilgrimage: Skirmish

The canonical home for every Lore term in Pilgrimage. Equipment, abilities, and Origins all resolve their definitions here; other sections link to this glossary rather than restating it. Parametric terms (e.g. Aim (X)) are alphabetised by their keyword. Terms marked (Origin) are the unique Oathband origins from Sing of Their Deeds.
