Hello there! There is actually something somewhat like what you're looking for, I think, here!. This is an ongoing and constantly-changing project which has been and will be in the continuing future linked into acceptance posts, and notes basic information.
What we try to do is release information organically into the game. A great deal of things simply aren't known, or aren't discussed by game NPCs until they are under specific pressure or other duress. Doing so produces a realistic flow of information ICly and restricts players from using OOC information ICly to influence decisions, which is a significant concern.
The fact that a tier of shard power exists which can be used to battle mentally was not widely known before Ariadne's post. However, it's been accounted for in mod plans for months; it's not a change to existing mechanics, only an aspect of them which characters are just now learning about.
