Just as important as managing his hand of Command cards and Lore cards, a player must carefully watch his Lore reserve, and make sure to keep adequate reserves if he is to launch his own actions at the most opportune time.
In addition to the Lore tokens possessed at the game's start based on his Lore Master’s level, a player may Gain Lore (or regain Lore) in the following ways, depending on the adventure in play:
• At the end of his game turn, if he opts to pick up some Lore tokens as described above;
• When rolling a Lore symbol in battle, if this Lore is not already dedicated to some other usage (Lore card’s effect, Creature power-up or special power, etc…);
• When killing one of his opponent's Creatures (gain 1 token);
• As a result of playing certain Lore cards (i.e. Summon Lore, etc.);
• When capturing certain terrain hexes or Landmarks that are sources of Lore on the battlefield;
• Per the adventure’s battle notes. Unlike Lore cards, there is no limit to the number of Lore tokens a player may have at a given time. However, should the Lore pool run out, no further Lore tokens may be gained until the pool is replenished, usually by the play of some Lore cards by one or more of the players. When there are no Lore tokens in the pool, actions that normally grant Lore grant you nothing instead.
