WHAT ARE LOREBOOKS?

The term "lorebooks" appears in the context of both the game's narrative and as a type of accessory for players.

In the lore of Disney Lorcana, a lorebook is a significant object. The Curator, a central figure in the game's backstory, used lorebooks to create glimmers. This was done by pairing the light of story stars (fragments of Disney stories) with magical ink on the pages of a lorebook. The glimmers themselves and the lorebooks they are inkcast from are considered especially valuable lore in Lorcana.

Additionally, the term "lorebook" refers to a physical accessory available to players. These Lorebooks, also known as card portfolios, are designed for storing and organizing your Disney Lorcana cards. They serve as a way to keep your collection safe, easily accessible for reference, and convenient for trading. These accessories can hold a certain number of cards; for example, the ones for The First Chapter could hold up to 64 standard cards and 8 oversized cards and featured art of Stitch or The Queen.

It's also worth noting that the player's guide included in the Illumineer's Trove acts as a visual guide to the cards within a specific set, like The First Chapter and Rise of the Floodborn. While not explicitly called a "lorebook" in the product descriptions of the Illumineer's Trove, it serves a similar function of providing a comprehensive look at the collected cards.

Therefore, "lorebook" in Disney Lorcana refers to both a key element within the game's world – the magical books used to create glimmers – and a practical accessory for Illumineers to organize and view their card collections, also known as a card portfolio.
