Story Scroll

Template:Items (Skylanders) Story Scrolls are collectible items in the console versions of Skylanders series under the Collections. They each contain history or background information of Skylands, its inhabitants, or other specific subjects.

The Mystic Seeker Scrolls in the 3DS version do not contain information but give all 37 Skylanders a power boost instead.

The webgame has similar items called Lore Tablets.

Story Scroll Locations in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure

Portals

The Problem with Sheep

Location: Perilous Pastures

Fairy Upgrades

Location: Sky Schooner Docks

Tornado Sightings

Location: Stonetown

"Neither royal blood nor a sea of gold can make you a Portal Master. Either you are lucky enough to be born with the power to wield a Portal or you are not - It's that simple.

History of flight

Location: Treetop Terrace

Location: Goo Factory
"Troll once lived under bridges and made anyone who crossed over pat them a toll.

Special Order 31

Life and Undead

Location: Cadaverous Crypt

"The Philosopher King Mortalannis, First Lord of the undead said, 'While the Living fear the Undead, the opposite is not true. The undead are reasonable, they simply wish the Living to stop... well... living. Where is the confusion? We will all be on the same team... eventually.'"

Skylander's Battle Cry

Location: Creepy Citadel

"When Skylanders travel though a portal, it is customary for them to yell out a fierce battle cry when they appear. In fact, each year there is a great contest too see whose Cry is the loudest, the most frightening and the best at making milk shoot out of other people's noses."

Core of Light Origin

Arkeyan history

Location: Arkeyan Armory

"Long ago, the evil Arkeyan Sorcerer kings, who lived within dark cities deep underground. met their doom. The free magicians of Skylands combined their strength to bind the Royal City of Arkus in a vault of eternal sleep. All that remains of their decadent empire are their machines, toiling away in the darkness, for all eternity."

Origin of Kaos

Location: Lair of Kaos

Empire of Ice

Location: Empire of Ice

"Stories are still told about the greatest catapult ever built -- "The Leveler" -- which has defended the warm valley of Vindlevale for centuries. Without 'The Leveler', there is little chance that Vindlevale could defend itself against the cold-loving armies of Ice Ogres and Snowclopes that dwell nearby."

Pirate Seas

Location: Pirate Seas

"Pirate buccaneers range far and wide across the seas of Skylands, but the most villainous, scurviest Pirate of them all is the seadog Captain Dreadbeard. Even now, he is said to be looking for his next helpless village to plunder. Remember this!... his only weakness is his love of pirate card games."

Darklight Crypt

Location: Darklight Crypt

Story Scroll Locations in Skylanders: Giants

Avalanche Anticipation

Location: Time of the Giants

"Despite such snowy conditions, those who reside in the Frozen Wastelands have never seen an avalanche. Residents are known to throw bombs off the side of the islands in hopes of triggering one. Just to have a story to tell their children, I suppose."

Chompy Pits

Location: Junkyard Isles

"While standing around and waiting for more Chompies to come eat you is generally dangerous, there are those who enjoy dropping into special Chompy Pits over and over again. There must be some kind of reward down there. Or perhaps all of these people are just insane?"

Mole Drop!

Location: Rumbletown

"One of the stranger Molekin traditions is to enter a neighbor's home by way of the chimney, completely unannounced and yell, "Mole Drop!" At that point, the inhabitant would give them a prize based on how surprised they were. One such resident was known to always be very surprised, thus leaving the best prizes."

Forger's Basement

Location: Cutthroat Carnival

"Besides cheap forgeries, there are real treasures to be found in a place known as the Forger's Basement. You just may need to do a little creative remodeling to find them."

Arkeyan Memory

Location: Glacier Gully

"While Arkeyans tend to remember things above and to the side of them, they have a hard time with things physically below them. Odd as that may seem, it does explain why they generally avoided burying the treasure they acquired.Those who did place treasure in spots requiring a drop in elevation to find would almost always forget about them."

Onk and a Totem

Location: Secret Vault of Secrets

"It was Onk Beakman who first wrote, 'The eyes are the window to the mouth. The mouth, the doorway to the eyes'. In Brock's Rumbletown, a certain totem's eyes and mouth can allow access to another kind of doorway but Onk would not know of this as it is one of many villages the celebrated penguin novelist is banned from entering"

Sky Pirates

Location: Wilikin Village

"A common question people have about Sky Pirates is what they do with all the loot and prisoners they pillage on their in-flight raids. The answer is quite simple: They store it in the hull of their ship. Where else would they put it?"

Those Wacky Arkeyans

Location: Troll Home Security

"While not known for their sense of humor, Arkeyans did enjoy playing the occasional prank, particularly in their Secret Arkeyan Vault of Secrets. The prank involved hiding a teleporter under things like pottery and then asking someone to go grab said piece of pottery. The unsuspecting target was suddenly teleported away, giving the prankster the closest thing Arkeyans have to a laugh."

Squirreling vs Hiding?

Location: Kaos' Kastle

"Though Kaos demands all found by his drilling machine, Drill-X, be turned over to him, some say that Drill-X may have squirreled away some of that treasure for himself. Others say that he hid it. Then others say that "squirreling away" and "hiding" are pretty much the same thing. In any case, pay attention to the floors when you visit his big rig.

A Real Ladies Man

Location: Aerial Attack!

"It should come as no surprise that Kaos was never popular with the girls. As a young lad, he used to practice serenading the, pretending they were standing atop various belconies throughout his castle, often substituting large pieces of treasue for a girl. Quite pathetic, really."

Nice Try, Kaos

Location: Drill-X's Big Rig

"One of Kaos' first attempts to take over the world did not involve force at all. He simply built statues of himself and placed them throughout Skylands. He figured if he placed enough, people would just assume he was ruler. The Trolls however, found a completely different use for these statues: covering up teleporters"

Trial of Wealth

Location: Molekin Mountain

"Doing the exact same thing over again and expecting different results may sometimes be referred to as insanity but it can also lead to a special reward. At least, on the path of wealth it can."

Arkeyans Before Dressers

Location: The Oracle

"The Arkeyans too great pride in their complex system of using light beams to pull platforms around and this was once the preferred method of storing valuables. That was until they invented the dresser. It is quite possible, though, that some purists left a special item or two out on those platforms and that is where they remain to this day."

Wilikin Neighbors?

Location: Autogyro Adventure

"Years ago, a group of cave dwellers used to live among the Wilikin until they mysteriously disappeared one day. It was discovered that there were a great many entrances to their caverns that were later covered up with large boulders, appearing as though someone was trying to keep something from entering the caves. Or exiting."

Roboto Ball

Location: Lost City of Arkus

""Roboto Ball was once a popular sport among Arkeyans. Their favorite part was that the roboto-balls themselves have the tendency to explode. Made for some exciting action on the fied but also led to many accidental explosions when these roboto-balls were used at home, which in turn led to property damage and the occasional reveal of hidden treasure stashes.

Classic Pirates

Location: Bringing Order to Kaos! "Of the many mistakes the pirate made with Cutthroat Carnival - underestimating the public's fear of an amustment park owned by pirates, calling it, 'Cutthroat Carnival', selling salt water taffy - perhaps the worst one was thinking the customers would pay money to be locked in a jail and shot by a cannon. Most of them ran screaming, leaving some valuables behind."
