The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity Lore Podcast

So I didn't quite get to *all* of the Berath-related lore in the last episode and in this one I hope to fill in a bunch of those gaps. Like last episode, most of it should be spoiler-free, and any spoilers that may pop up I give a warning so you can skip/mute. Today's episode is much more focused on Berath's personality, as well as her clergy. This is where the rubber meets the road, as it were. W...

Also known as the Twinned God, Berath is one of the major players in the pantheon of Eora (the fantasy world of Pillars of Eternity / Avowed). I mean, *all* the gods are major players in the pantheon, but Berath is one of the deities your Pillars player character will interact with more. As well, fresh on the heels of Ep. 4/5/6 when we looked at the Aedyran Empire, Berath is one of the patron deit...

Almost all epic fantasy stories have a unique pantheon of deities as part of their lore. Eora is no different. Using information from Pillars of Eternity I (and a little bit of II) let's take a look at the gods of Eora in general. This episode goes over the nature, history and names/domains of the gods. This episode contains MAJOR spoilers for Pillars of Eternity. Unfortunately there is no way to...

Aedyr is an empire referenced multiple times (subtlety) in Avowed's reveal trailer. In Ep. 4 we looked at their empire's origin, in Ep. 5 we took a look at their culture. In this episode we conclude our dive into Aedyr by looking at their colonization efforts in the Dyrwood (the setting for Pillars of Eternity). Perhaps now your Aedyr character background will have a little more meaning for you.

In the previous episode, we took a look at the origins of the Aedyr Empire (the nation heavily referenced through Avowed's reveal trailer). Before we continue on into the history of Aedyr's colonization efforts, let's take a step back and see what the average Aedyran is like. In this episode we go over some unique Aedyran holidays, take a look at the Aedyran language, and analyze the Aedyran value...

The Aedyrans are a nation of people who's presence is hinted at throughout the Avowed Reveal Trailer. What better place to start than with a people group who are both foundational to the Pillars settings, as well as involved in all we have for Avowed. Join me as I read through an in-game lore book exploring the unique origins for this elf-human cultural amalgamation. Twitter: @worldofeora; email:...

The day after the reveal trailer was debuted (at the Xbox Games Showcase) for Avowed, a LEAK came out (boy, that didn't take long). Let's see what lore is offered in this 20-bullet point list of leaked information, shall we? ["Spoiler": we pretty much just talk about 'The Living Lands'].

Something I left out from the last episode (Avowed's Reveal Trailer) about there being TWO MOONS in the Trailer. This small detail led to a wild speculative theory I have about Avowed's setting... MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. Twitter: @worldofeora, Email: worldofeora@gmail.com

Since almost all of us are more likely familiar with the reveal trailer for Avowed (check it out at eternity.obsidian.net) I figured we'd start there. We go through, frame by frame...or I guess "sound cue to sound cue" and explore what lore there is to find in the trailer itself. Any questions? Twitter @worldofeora, email: worldofeora@gmail.com

I re-recorded this episode shortly after my 100th episode to update this introduction to the show. In this short episode, I outline how I started the show in the first place, and then spend the remaining minutes signing posting new listeners to the more important and foundational episodes if they just want a jump-start in the lore for the World of Eora. Those episodes are: 1 - Overview 10 - Metaph...
