Key Considerations
- Fragmentary nature: Lore often comes in small, incomplete pieces
- Unreliable narrators: Stories within stories may be biased or inaccurate
- Symbolic dreams: Not all dream content is literal
- Cross-references: If needed, track relationships separately in drafts, but final JSON must match
LoreData.from_dict.
