So I’m kind of looking for information on the world of Cairn before the Grim Dawn. I know we have in game notes… I’m not really looking for the flavor text I’m kind of looking for more of a ‘lore/setting bible’ on the world and especially the characters before the start of the game.
This is the closest you’ll get.

And yes, it’s nearing book length! 
Well crap. Guess I’ll have to sort through that thread… based on the first few pages it looks like I’m not going to get the information I need and as such I’ll have to rethink this project of mine.
I expect the devs are the only people who have what you’re looking for. Considering they’ve just added another 40,000 words for FG they must have some sort of system for keeping track. But you could ask on that thread for what you’re interested in and see what replies you get.
If the Devs don’t have a lore bible I’d be shocked. The level of overlapping references and in the lore notes suggests at the least a hell of a cork board/room.
I’ll probably make a post there later.
By the way, thank you for the replies. I was half expecting to see this thread fall into the abyss.
You’re welcome.
