- Ep. #76: Spirits (as in ghosts, not beverages)
The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the fantasy world/setting as seen in Obsidian Entertainment's cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their upcoming RPG: Avowed.
Continuing on from last episode in the categories of 'Bestiary', today we are looking at Spirits, that is creatures which are incorporeal in nature. Typically you'd think of ghostly creatures, such as Phantoms, Shadows, Will-o-Wisp, etc.

28 min - Ep. #75: Primordial Creatures in Eora
The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the original fantasy setting/world for Obsidian Entertainment's Pillars of Eternity cRPG series, and their upcoming RPG: Avowed.
Today we discuss a category of creature: The Primordiol, which focuses on oozes, delemgans, lurkers, and spores. We also speculate on what we might see in Avowed.

39 min - Ep. #74: The Tribes of Eir Glanfath
The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the original fantasy setting as seen in Obsidian Entertainment's Pillars of Eternity cRPG series, and their upcoming RPG: Avowed.
Today marks a return to podcasting, for me, as I took a break recently to work on my mental health. As a result I will be returning to a bi-weekly (or is it bi-monthly?) schedule, so expect to see another episode in two more weeks.
Today's episode is about the "Tribes of Eir Glanfath", which I have talked about *a lot* in other episodes but surprisingly I don't seem to have an episode just about them. I checked, like...three times, I never found one. I don't know, either way hope you enjoy the episode.
Oh! Also, there's one part where I don't understand what it is the lore is saying...it's when I talk about travel customs in Glanfathan traditions...let me know if you understood what it was saying.

44 min - Podcast Update!
Just a quick update on myself and this podcast, there's going to be a (hopefully) brief interruption in the content, as I take some time off this month to recover from a sudden and alarming depressive bout. To be clear I am not leaving this show or abandoning it, I enjoy making the content and think it's beneficial for me overall; just at this current time I need to prioritize other areas of my life and reintroduce things like this one at a time.
If you have any questions comments concerns, (Eora related or otherwise) send me an email:
3 min - Ep. #73: [PART 2] D&D 5e Ruleset in Eora (setting) - Minimalist Transposition (Classes, Subclasses, Spells))
The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the fantasy world/setting for Obsidian Entertainment's cRPG Pillars of Eternity series, as well as their upcoming first-person RPG: Avowed.
Today's episode is the second "half" of a two part series on "How to play D&D in Eora". I call it a 'brute force minimalist transposition'. How it works is that we look at the ruleset as it exists in D&D 5e, and we (with as little finicking as possible) shoe-horn that ruleset to fit into the Eoran world as a setting.
I'll be honest, TODAY's episode is where we see the most "work" needing to be done. Just to make the classes/subclasses fit with the lore, and how to approach spells (and their restrictions).
54 min - Ep. #72: D&D 5e Ruleset in Eora (setting) - Minimalist Transposition (Races, Subraces, Monsters)The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about Eora, the world/setting of Obsidian Entertainment's cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their upcoming first-person RPG: Avowed.https://reddit.com/r/projecteternity/s/VGhNa67c6QToday's episode is a unique one, and less focused on lore (though it is necessarily discussed) but on how to play D&D 5e in the world of Eora as a setting. Be forewarned, this is not a thorough-going homebrew or conversion - this is a transposition of existed core D&D5e rules shoe-horned *into* the setting of Eora.I discuss "the pitch" you can give to your tabletop crew, and what lore is vital for new players to understand. As well, we go over what races you can use from core D&D in lieu of the unique races in Eora. Lastly, we discuss monsters, but that part is really short.@worldofeora39 min
- Ep. #71: Various Lore from the "Pillars of Eternity TabletopRPG"IMPORTANT: At the end of the episode I recommend a YouTube channel to you, but because of "stupid brain", I misspelled their channel name. It's SENTEGRAPHS. Check them out for a 'Lorethrough' of Pillars of Eternity. It's excellent stuff.The World of Eora podcast is a news/lore program about the fantasy world/setting developed by Obsidian Entertainment for use in their cRPG Pillars of Eternity series, and their upcoming first-person RPG: Avowed.Today I dive in to the "Pillars of Eternity Pen & Paper" version of the game. Yes, that's correct; if you didn't already know Pillars DOES have a TTRPG for it. It's currently unfinished, but you can playtest it for free by downloading a .PDF from their website. In there it's most rules and mechanics, but there is some lore - lore which is previously unseen or unheard of from other official sources.I do not know if we can consider it canon, but still, it's great to look at.@worldofeora34 min
- Ep. #70: Discussing "soft lore" of Fighters, Rogues and Barbarians in Eora
The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the fantasy world/setting created by Obsidian Entertainment used in their cRPG Pillars of Eternity series, and their upcoming first-person RPG: Avowed.
Today's episode I'm describing as "soft lore", which means that we are using lore from other areas (particularly areas of the soul, reincarnation, and whatnot) to ask "what gives fighters/rogues/barbarians the special powers they have?" Because, here's the thing, all those classes of character in Eora are doing near-superhuman feats, and that *must* mean magic is involved somehow; but we aren't privy to a lot of definitely explanations. So, using lore we DO have, I engage in a more speculative discussion on applying the rules of the world to those classes to ascertain how it us they might work, behind the scenes. I hope you enjoy today's talk.

31 min - Ep. #69 [lol]: The Ranger Class
The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the fantasy world/setting used in Obsidian Entertainment's cRPG Pillars of Eternity series, and their upcoming first-person RPG: Avowed.
Today's episode looks at the unique lore for the 'Ranger' class. If you've played or consumed fantasy media at all, you're probably familiar with the ranger character archetype (woodsman, huntsmen, good at archery, has an animal companion, makes magic berries sometimes...). Rangers are all that in Eora, but their lore goes a little deeper than that. Especially in regards to their animal companions.

28 min - Ep. #68: Vithracks (humanoid spider psionic people)
The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about games and media placed in the fantasy setting/world developed by Obsidian Entertainment, particularly for their cRPG series, Pillars of Eternity, and their upcoming first-person RPG: Avowed.
Today's episode looks at one of the unique sentient creatures that exist in the world of Eora called "Vithracks". Who I've often just called "humanoid spider psionic people". They are one of my favourite creatures in *any* fantasy setting. And if I could justifiably role-play it in-game, I'd start a non-profit "Kith Against Vithrack Abuse", spreading the word about their non-hostility (although, they can be quite hostile).
Anyways...
