Overview
The Story Bible is an oft-cited work that contained all the background and lore of City of Heroes for the game's writers and developers to reference. It has never been seen by the general public in its full form, and as such what it contained is unknown. References have been made to an internal wiki and an actual book, so it is unclear whether the story bible was one massive book, or a conglomeration of files and written works.
Partial Release
