I think it would be great to having roving story teller NPCs in the game. They could have missions that unlock the beginning of a story. These stories could be lore or "fan fiction" written by players.
The next part of the story would activate and display when you got to the next location which you could be led to by either map markers or clues. This could be activated by either interacting with an NPC, item or by reaching a certain location (similar to the cartography occupation).
Once you had completed a story it could appear as an encyclopedia like entry so you could read the whole story or an expanded version of the story.
I believe this would encourage players to read the lore and explore different parts of Atys.
