Explanation:

The word lore means knowledge or tradition that is being known or held by a group of people of a particular sect, whereby they pass it on from one generation to the next using word of mouth.

It may be the knowledge of certain traditional herbs used as medicine or some superstitions that may be passed on to keep a check on the behavior of the concerned sect, or it may be some mythological stories that be passed on through generations.
