When you attempt to learn or recall a piece of loooooore, if you do not know that information, you often know where and from whom you can obtain it. Usually, this information comes from a library, scriptorium, university, or a sage or other learned person or creature. Your DM might rule that the knowledge you seek is secreted away in an almost inaccessible place, or that it simply cannot be found. Unearthing the deepest secrets of the multiverse can require an adventure or even a whole campaign.
Suggested Characteristics
Conspiracy Theorists are known by their extensive amount of obscure knowledge and the lengths they are willing to go for the truth. Devoted to this pursuit of truth, a true theorist values knowledge highly—sometimes in its own right, sometimes as a means toward other ideals.
