As AVOWED continues to undergo development at Obsidian Entertainment I wondered " what will the character creation choices be " and then I thought after that: " hey, that's a good episode idea ", so here we are. In most fantasy games you'll have an in-depth character creation menu, and Pillars of Eternity is no different. Today's episode (sorry it's a couple days later than normal) dives into the...

All three of these games use Eora as the fantasy world they are played in. This podcast explores that world.

In today's episode we CONCLUDE our history series on 'The Dyrwood', which is the setting for the first Pillars of Eternity game (and *possibly* the setting for Avowed? See previous episodes for rationale on that speculation...); For those just joining, we are reading from a set of in-game books, a six-part series for the Dyrwood's history. Today we look at Pt. V ("The Proliferation of Animancy") a...

[' The World of Eora ' is a lore (and soon-to-be news) show about Obsidian Entertainment's fantasy setting: EORA, which is used for their games Pillars of Eternity (I and II), as well as their upcoming game: Avowed ] First of all , please excuse the (at least initial) monotony in my voice. Ironically, I was practicing this episode while at work and unintentionally made my voice a little hoarse. Do...

In today's episode, we take another look at the man, the myth, the legend: Admeth Hadret, and how his actions led to the Dyrwood's eventual independence from it's mother-nation: The Aedyr Empire. The Dyrwood is the setting for Pillars of Eternity, and *speculatively* the potential setting for Avowed (question mark). I do a little tin-foil hat theory at the end of the episode, check it out.

As we continue our read-through of the Dyrwood's history (the setting for Pillars of Eternity), we introduce an event known as the 'War of Black Trees'. Which, more importantly, introduced Edrang's son, Admeth, into the narrative. Interestingly enough, it has been *speculated* that Avowed maaaaaaay take place around the time of the War of Black Trees, or that the giant statue we see in the reveal...

In an effort to encourage old and new players of Pillars of Eternity, let's stop and take a look at the history of the setting for the original game that launched this series back in 2015 - the Dyrwood. This episode is the first (of three) that explores the historical foundations for the setting called 'the Dyrwood', which will hopefully add depth to your experience in playing Pillars of Eternity....

Hey everyone! I am back (or those who didn't know, I was gone over the summer), and being back I am also returning to making episodes for the Pillars of Eternity / Avowed lore show: "The World of Eora". But you already knew that, that's why you're here. Anyways! This mini-episode just serves as a quick update for what's going on and moving forward. AS WELL, I can't do an episode without *some* sor...

Hylea, the Sky-Mother, deity over birds and... maternity?? Okay then, weird combo, what's up with that? Learn the answer to this and more in today's *lovely* episode about Hylea, goddess of creativity. Stay tuned to the end to hear about Hylea's hilarious wrath, which I hope gets added into Avowed.

Sorry for the convoluted episode title, but it gets the point across. WELCOME! To part two of two discussing the lore behind ABYDON, god of the Forge (and so much more). If you haven't listened to the previous episode I highly recommend it, for two reasons: (1) it'll give a good foundation for understanding some of this episode; and (2) because it raises my listen-count, but the former reason is t...

Abydon is one of my favorite deities; he's a god whom this podcast would possibly be a work of worship towards - not because I worship Abydon, no. I mean, symbolically...Work is a pleasure to Abydon, and he encourages Kith to enjoy their work and to produce good work. Even though this podcast is not something physical, like a sword, I imagine the work behind it would honor him regardless. Join me...

Since we've been discussing BERATH so much in the last couple episodes it seemed fitting to discuss The Wheel, the cycle of reincarnation of Eora that is heavily associated with Berath. More importantly, it reviews some info about the Soul and Adra that we've touched on before and lays a solid introduction for ANIMANCY, an important aspect of what makes Eora the fantasy world it is. This episode *...

Today, in what could be called...the last "Godandag" (God's Day) in "Majprima" (Mid-Spring), I offer you a quick PSA regarding the future of the podcast. As well, because I don't want to leave you without *some* lore, we go over the calendar year and days of the week for contemporary Eora (contemporary meaning "Pillars of Eternity" times). Actually, though, knowing the Eoran calendar *could* help...
