The lore for PoE is actually super deep and fascinating (as we as dark, even Diablo would be like "damn dude, that's hardcore" about some of the stuff that goes down), but it's much more in the background and you have to pay close attention to pick it up. The game takes on a different feel though when you dig into the lore and start to understand and recognize the stuff that you come across. I kinda like this design actually, makes it feel more satisfying and mysterious, but it is also convenient because you can ignore it if you're not interested (PoE greatly emphasizes many repeated playthroughs for people unfamiliar). https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/History_of_Wraeclast https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/History_of_Wraeclast has some of the background story.
