Enshrouded Nomad Highlands Lore
The following is what I have for Nomad Highlands Lore in Enshrouded. NOTE: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS - I won’t share Lore content, but the titles may give things away, and the photos may reveal things. For an overview of what the heck I’m talking about, click here! Since I found most of these, they won’t glow red in the pictures, but they should glow red, like a fire, for you if you haven’t discovered them yet. If not, I’m sure the game developers would appreciate any feedback or hearing of any glitches, bugs, or malfunctions as this is an Early Access game - in that it isn’t fully finished and they are still working out some things. If you have any questions or tips for me, let me know in the comments! I’ll try to update often and with images to help guide you on your journey. All images used in this blog post are screenshots from the game Enshrouded.

Nomad Highlands
Amber’s Final Resting Place
1/2 A Chosen Grave Site
To reach this Lore, you’ll pass the second piece first (2/2 Our Dearest Amber). Starting from the Shroud Root in Jasper Isles in Umber Hollow, smash down the spores blocking an open doorway. Go straight through the first room and then turn left at the open area to see a grave. Interact with the gravestone to obtain the Lore.
Quick Disclaimer: I destroyed the Shroud Root so visibility would be easier.
TIP: There is a lot of Lore here. General Lore: Letter From Rochelle Anders 1/2 To Father,. Scavenger Lore: Sister, Sister 1/3 Where Are You, My Sister? and some Nomad Highlands Lore: Rotting River 1/1 Downstream Of Something Foul; Lake Of The Nomad Highlands 1/1 Creation Of A Lake; and lastly As Above So Below 1/2 Umber Hollow Rumors.
2/2 Our Dearest Amber
From the Shroud Root in Jasper Isles in Umber Hollow, head through the spores blocking an open doorway. In the first room, turn left. In the next room you’ll find the Lore resting on a table. Keep going if you're looking for the first piece of Lore: 1/2 A Chosen Grave Site.

Lake Of The Nomad Highlands

The Pillars Of Creation
1/3 Vukah Inscriptions
This is located in an unmarked camp, so that’s fun. Near the Pillars of Creation is a Flame Sanctum. East of there, on a lower portion of the mountain, is a small camp. The Ancient Spire - Kindlewastes Fast Travel can be seen WAY in the distance as you enter the tent (not sure if that helps or not).
TIP: Reading this Lore will activate the Items, XP, and Loot Quest: The Pillars of Creation.
2/3 Noises!
This one is located on a table just outside of a Flame Sanctum in the Pillars of Creation region. You can follow the road from the first note to reach this one, easy peasy.
3/3 Soothsayer Found
I still remember my angst in locating this one. It’s at the Flame Sanctum, the same location as the previous Lore - The Pillars Of Creation 2/3 Noises!. Head to a busted wall, western side, inside the building and look up. There’s a grapple spot that goes to a golden chest. Inside is the item you seek: Soothsayer.
Captured By Lupa
1/1 They Terrorize The Roads!
This one is a bit tricky to find in Lupa’s Lair, but that’s what the guide is for! The location is a bit of a flight from the Ancient Spire - Nomad Highlands Fast Travel, but it works. Once you’re in the lair, head left until you reach the corner of the main building. When you look at it, you may notice a breakable door. Smash it in, and then smash the one behind it too. Inside is a skeleton with the pages of Lore.
TIP: Be sure to pick up the Scavenger Lore: Tanning Station 1/1 Tanning Station Recipe.
TIP: Ruined Bridge Lore - you had to cross the bridge to reach the lair, but you may have missed this General Lore: Mixed Stones 1/1 Where’s the Material?.
“Nursery Supplies”
1/1 Mind The “Nursery Supplies”
At Surat’s Rest, take a left through an Enshrouded cave. It’s a shortcut up to a room with barrels. Keep left as you come out and around the corner will be a ladder up. Straight ahead will be the table with a Lore scroll on it. This will start the Items, XP, and Loot Reward Quest: “Nursery Supplies”.
TIP: This area also has the Farmer Quest: Almanac of Plants and Seedlings For The Farmer and Building Block Quest: Caravan Raid - Limestone Block.
TIP: More to find here! Scavenger Lore: Scavenger Lore: Sister, Sister 2/3 A Note To Kendal and Caravan Raid 2/2 None Can Fool Me!. Nomad Highlands Lore: As Above So Below 2/2 Crimes Of Surat's Rest and Rumors Of The Dragon Cave 1/3 The Fearsome Dragon.
Conway Brothers
1/3 Rafa,
The location of this one is the Trade Outpost “Blazing Rock”. It’s located near Umber Hollow in the Nomad Highlands region. The fast travel tower makes this one simple enough to reach, so long as you have the stamina and Updraft skill (under assassin). Reading this is part of the Blacksmith Quest: The Blacksmith’s Request.
Upon entering the camp from the western side, simply head for the bulletin board and you’ll find this Lore posted there.
TIP: Head left of the board to the tents for a piece of Vukah and Wildlife Lore (Vukah Encounter 1/2 Fierce Creatures).
2/3 Fine, I Admit It
Location is Conway Camp in Umber Hollow. For this place, there were two methods I used to get here. The first is to glide in from Ancient Spire - Nomad Highlands. The second is to exit Jasper Isles (screenshot 2), which is a little ways away, and leave the trail. Head straight, but veer to the right. Basically, you just want to get up a hill, and you can walk up above the camp (no jumping required) and then hop down into it. Reading this is also part of the Blacksmith Quest: The Blacksmith’s Request.
Once you reach the camp, head into either tent for the Lore. The tent with the silver chest has this Lore. The other tent has the next piece of Lore (3/3 Nightwatch) Lore.
3/3 Nightwatch
Following the steps from the second piece of Lore in this series, head into the tent with the lame, regular chest to find this Lore on a table. (The other tent had the Lore 2/3 Fine, I Admit It.) Reading this is part of the Blacksmith Quest: The Blacksmith’s Request.
As Above So Below
1/2 Umber Hollow Rumors
Besides being an easy glide down from the Ancient Spire - Nomad Highlands Fast Travel, this one is pretty straight forward. Head to the Jasper Isles, in Umber Hollow, and defeat the Shroud Root there (or skip it). Then, head straight back, bust down a door, and read the pile of paper on the table.
TIP: This area is also relevant to the Blacksmith Quest: The Blacksmith’s Request.
TIP: This area has a crazy amount of Lore. General Lore: Letter From Rochelle Anders 1/2 To Father,. Scavenger Lore: Sister, Sister 1/3 Where Are You, My Sister? and some Nomad Highlands Lore: Amber’s Final Resting Place 1/2 A Chosen Grave Site and 2/2 Our Dearest Amber; Rotting River 1/1 Downstream Of Something Foul; and lastly Lake Of The Nomad Highlands 1/1 Creation Of A Lake.
2/2 Crimes Of Surat's Rest
In Surat’s Rest (southeast of the Ancient Spire - Springlands Fast Travel), from the main entrance, head straight back toward the tall trees. You’ll pass a different Lore to your left at one point (Scavengers - Caravan Raid - None Can Fool Me). Past the trees, take the corridor to the right. Eventually, you’ll reach a building with two tall openings and there’s a glowing note to read on a table inside.
TIP: This area has three quests - Farmer Quest: Almanac of Plants and Seedlings For The Farmer, Building Block Quest: Caravan Raid - Limestone Block, and Items, XP, and Loot Reward Quest: “Nursery Supplies”.
TIP: More nearby Lore: Scavenger Lore: Sister, Sister 2/3 A Note To Kendal and Caravan Raid 2/2 None Can Fool Me!. Nomad Highlands Lore: “Nursery Supplies” 1/1 Mind The “Nursery Supplies” and Rumors Of The Dragon Cave 1/3 The Fearsome Dragon.

Rumors Of The Dragon Cave
1/3 The Fearsome Dragon
This Lore is located in Surat’s Rest. It is on a table out in the open and is relatively easy to spot. It’s an easy grab and go. Simply pass through the fog at the entrance, go over (or under) the wooden bridge, and it is located on a table to the left.

2/3 The Renowned Dragon Sword
This Lore snuck up on me, particularly as I had already cleared the area back when the game first came out. You can find this piece at the top of the Inner Sanctum. It’s in one of the tents.
TIP: Since you’re already here, feel free to snag your first, or spare, Masonry Tools. As such, this Lore pairs nicely with the Carpenter Quest: Finding Masonry Tools.
3/3 Dragon's Maw
Talk about easy! This one is a simple glide down from the Ancient Spire – Nomad Highlands Fast Travel. There are plenty of enemies at this Scavenger Outpost!
TIP: This Lore is also located directly across from the Nomad Highlands Lore: Mixed Sandstone Blocks 1/1 Brick By Brick. It’s down in a building straight ahead. Reading it will start the Building Block Quest: Brick By Brick.
Mixed Sandstone Blocks
1/1 Brick By Brick
The location for this one is a easy breezy glide down from the Ancient Spire – Nomad Highlands Fast Travel. It’s located at a Scavenger Outpost inside a building with a hole blasted through the side. You can reach it from a roof spot via a ladder. Obtaining this Lore will start the Building Block Quest: Mixed Sandstone Blocks.
TIP: This lore is located very close to the Nomad Highlands Lore: Rumors Of The Dragon Cave 3/3 Dragon’s Maw.
