| Skill Trees in this list are grouped according to the Trait they test on. This means any Skills in the Focus section will test using the Character's Focus dice pool and so on. There are four Traits; Focus, Instinct, Physique and Vigor. Below is a general description of what type of Skills can be found under each Trait.

| * Common Lore - This Skill represents general knowledge of facts and events relevant to life on Horizon. Rolling on either Focus or Instinct, whichever is higher, a Character may attempt to recall information they have gathered on their travels.

Any other Lore Skill can also default to Common Lore when the Character lacks the specific Lore Skill needed, but in this case, the Character suffers the Untrained penalty of -10AP for the specific Lore that should have been used. | * Common Lore - This Skill represents general knowledge of facts and events relevant to life on Horizon.
