[1.21.1] Just found "Tapestry lore, part 18," will this spoil me?

[KrampusKid]

I've been searching for my first vein of Hematite, and randomly dug down next to this. I've never found any ruins aside from some on the surface, and I haven't found any lore drops at all.

If I read the journal for entry 18/18, am I going to get mad spoilers? Should I wait to find other journal entries, or is "tapestry lore" different/separate from the books I've heard you can find?

I generally like to avoid spoilers for games as much as possible, but I don't know how deep the lore in vs actually goes so some input would be much appreciated.

First off, I do believe that is the same ruin that shows up every ince in a while on the title screen

Secondly, the 18/18 on the tapestry you found, just means it's number 18 in the list. from what I remember, none of the tapestries are lore-breaking, just lore backing. little small tidbits of flavor

Your particular one, Dangers of Temporality, will spoil zero bits of the game's lore should you read it

Yeah, exactly what Never said.
Tapestries aren't meant to be found/read in any particular order, and the same ruin can generate with different tapestries.

None of them follow a sequence - each is a standalone tidbit of lore.
