背景设定与官方短篇故事
赤鸟 剧情与世界观
琥珀风暴是一种腐化现象，它感染并扭曲着赤鸟世界中的居民与自然，同时也会产生赋予游戏名称的宝贵琥珀水晶。Contrast Games发布了其官方开发者短篇故事集——“赤鸟传说”——这些故事极大地丰富了世界观，远超商店页面的简短描述。本页汇集了所有故事，方便您一次性阅读。
重复的线索贯穿这些短篇：赤鸟寺院的僧侣对琥珀腐蚀表现出异常的抵抗力，游戏中至少有一位帝国医师协会的研究员对此争论不休，认为这要么是遗传的，要么是后天训练的；“amberized”（琥珀化）是开发者自己对受腐蚀的人和生物的称呼；普通平民在检查站、疏散和关于寺院自身实验室的谣言中穿梭，作为Mako故事背景的纹理。其中几篇短篇以游戏内文件的形式写成——一本医生的日记、一份民防通知、一本教学手册——而非第三人称叙述，这赋予了它们更像是从设定内部发现的记录，而非为玩家撰写的总结。

琥珀风暴与琥珀化的世界
下面的十一篇短篇中，有两篇是作为怪物图鉴风格的开发者帖子而非小说写成的，两者都描述了琥珀腐蚀作用于动物而非人类：琥珀鼹鼠，一种曾经无害的盲眼生物，变成了伏击攻击者，但仍然看不见，一旦被激怒反应缓慢；以及琥珀琵琶鱼，一种水下伏击捕食者，一旦发动冲刺攻击就会变得脆弱。与以人类为中心的故事一起阅读，模式是琥珀腐蚀改变行为多于改变智力——被腐蚀的生物和人类都保留了之前可识别的特征，只是被推向了敌对。设定还暗示了一个跨世界的结构：一篇短篇讲述一个商人在跨世界检查站被警告远离“琥珀化的世界”，这表明赤鸟的世界不是一个单一连续的地图，而是一组具有各自污染状态、疏散命令和海关规则的相连区域。命名的元素如“和谐之钟”和“内部混沌”出现在一篇游戏内教学文件中（编号“AKA-19/1”），描述了一种在虚拟空间内摧毁“混沌投影”的机制；这些是官方的开发者文本，尽管它们尚未像能量/呼吸战斗重做那样通过与游戏内镜头交叉验证。
这些短篇故事中，人类视角聚焦于Mako本人之外的一小部分有名有姓的角色：与她一同参加寺院入门仪式的同门新手Yumi和Bao；将军之女Hilda因琥珀风暴暴露而落下慢性病，在寺院训练中得到庇护，与Mako和名为Hana的角色形成对比；新手Haruko羡慕一位商人的普通家庭生活，促使Mako反思自己在寺院体系中长大、没有正常童年。有一篇短篇甚至描绘了一个间谍在帝国首都电车上安静地做笔记，而市民们则在闲聊寺院对琥珀的抵抗力和一个传闻中的实验室——这个细节暗示，寺院的琥珀抵抗能力已成为外部政治兴趣的焦点，而不仅仅是这些故事中提到的帝国医师协会研究员出于科学好奇。
