Establishes a Lore Folder for Orbstation #625

About The Pull Request

Mimics the existing structure of Common Core over on TGstation into Orb in a hopefully minimally intrusive way.

Why It's Good For The Game

Wikis are miserable to run, frankly, and having the lore stored in the repo means that everyone has a chance to see it, and maintainers and admins get a chance to sign off on it before anything's added so that everyone has a fair shake to say something about what the additions are. It also means that there's no need to add anything extra to the orbstation website or to run a separate secondary website that then has to be maintained and supported which puts extra load on admins/maintainers for minimal benefit.

Putting lore into the Orb-folder also means that people can link easily to specific parts of the lore as long as it's well formatted!

With this immediate creation, all we've added is: an explanation of what the orb lore folders aren't, and a couple of "standby" folders and placeholder.md files to fill space and make sure that git didn't try to destroy my extremely hard and dilligent work.

Changelog

:cl: add: some folders for storing lore. /:cl:

oh right: to clarify, this is currently a draft because i would appreciate the moderation team to take a second pass at the readme at the top of the lore folder.we wrote out the first pass as an explicit framework, and would like any changes to be made so that we can set this green for go whenever the moderation team is happy with that top-level language.

I think a Wiki and a Lore repository here can co exist, and frankly shore up the issues with each other. Wikis are easier to read and navigate, but take more effort to maint. A repository would be harder to navigate for most people, but is easier to run. Having both would be good i think.

We can add wikis to git repositories. Better use that then putting it in the code folder, which is unsearchable.

As we talked on discord, this should be separated on a different repo. Closing for now.
