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

The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the fantasy world/setting created by Obsidian Entertainment for their cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their upcoming action RPG: Avowed.

Today's episode we look at the other confirmed Avowed companion: Giatta Castell. In looking at her short bio in her Cosplay Guide (which you can find on Avowed's website) we learn a bit about who she is, where she (or more specifically, where her family) comes from, and what's going on in her life (recently).

Topics today are:

The World of Eora is a lore podcast about the fantasy setting/world developed by Obsidian Entertainment for their cRPG Pillars of Eternity series, and their upcoming action RPG: Avowed.

Today's episode we take a brief look at Kai, and look behind his single paragraph of lore (from the Kai cosplay guide) to understand who he is, where he comes from, and all that entails. This episode is MOSTLY a discussion on RAUATAI, the empire that Kai would hail from, and the culture that influences his character in the game of Avowed.

The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the fantasy world/setting for Obsidian Entertainment's cRPG 'Pillars of Eternity' series, and their upcoming action RPG: Avowed.

Today's episode focuses a little more on gameplay and a little less on lore - but don't worry, there'll still be some lore to go over. In this episode we will review over a dozen abilities seen in Avowed's trailer(s), and look at how those abilities worked in Pillars to speculate on how they might work for the upcoming game.

The World of Eora is a lore podcast about the unique fantasy world created by Obsidian Entertainment for use in their cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their upcoming action RPG: Avowed.

Today's episode takes a dedicated look at the setting for Avowed: THE LIVING LANDS. Now, I did cover a lot of this lore in episode two, but that was...three years ago now, and was more speculative than this episode is. I hope you enjoy learning about the setting Avowed will be played in, and it got your imaginations going about what we might get to see in the game.

In today's episode we discuss everything that we learned from the Xbox "Extended Developer Direct", hosted by the official Xbox Podcast, including a lot of gameplay related news and some pieces of lore...including two major lore dumbs: the name of the spiritual plague we are sent to investigate, and the presence of an ARCHMAGE in Avowed.

Today's episode is an exciting one, I go through the entire Avowed Deep Dive pulling out all the contextual lore that both old listeners and new listeners will be able to enjoy.

The topics covered today range from Souls, Companions (one named Giatta), the Aedyr Empire (where we are from), the Living Lands (where Avowed is played), Xaurips (the reptilian enemies we fight), as well as some soul-based metaphysical lore such as "The Wheel" (cycle of reincarnation) and much more...

check out avowed.obsidian.net for some Cosplay guides on Giatta or Kai, as well as some jpegs from the game.

Lastly, I recommend several episodes to go check out if you are new, here are some for you to look up:

That should be enough to get you going.

The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the original fantasy setting/world created by Obsidian Entertainment, as seen in their cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and the upcoming RPG: Avowed.

Today's episode focuses on a specific society of Dwarf called the "Pargrunen". They are mentioned primarily in the White March DLCs for the first Pillars game. The notable thing for this episode is that these dwarves have been to other locations in the world of Eora, including The Living Lands (where Avowed is set). So, perhaps they (or some of their culture) can be found in the game. Who knows?

In the latter half of the episode I just quickly go over my top10 list of games I enjoyed in 2023 (even though some didn't release in that year), and give shout-outs to some of YOUR personal GOTYs from 2023.

Today's episode discusses some "wilders", which are creatures who have sentience/intelligence (enough to even form their own cultures), but for one reason or another do not enter into the "civilized" societies we see in the world-wide playing field. In particular we look at a 4-armed amphibian race, called Lagufaeths; and the hulking, usually-hostile, Ogre race (and their Eoten cousins).

Today's episode is just a bonus episode, no big ticket lore items to discuss, just an overview of some fantasy-made alcoholic beverages (and a few non-alcoholic) as seen within the games themselves. Mostly it was just a play on words for the title of the previous episode, also looking at "Spirits".
