Today's episode is a follow-up from last week's episode on the Undead (such as Skeletons, Fampyrs and Revenants). This week focuses, instead, on Lichs - a very powerful and immortal form of Undead, and Void Seers (which are essentially floating magic-filled skulls). To top it all of we look at the brief story of Concelhaut, a powerful mage-turned-lich in the world of Eora.

Today's episode features discussions on Undead enemies in fantasy, in particular the world of Eora. Skeletons don't just get up for no good reason, and sometimes those reasons go beyond mere "because is fantasy". Explore the lore with me, today, as we dive into the lore for Undead creatures...how they're made, what their "lifespan" is like, and what ultimately happens to them...

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

Today's episode is a short episode; I'm out of town this week volunteering at a Youth Camp, so I recorded something short and sweet just to make sure you had *something* to chew on while I was away.

Today's lore comes from a set of Stronghold Adventures from Pillars of Eternity, wherein you can send your idle companions in the game on their own adventures without you, bringing you back rewards and unique items.

This episode looks over the lore in one such minor adventure, "a Court of Spirits", which is about a group of arguing ghosts near a pillar of Adra.

[SPOILER WARNING: The *second* half of today's episode contains major spoilers for BOTH Pillars games, but you can safely enjoy the first half before the break spoiler-free]

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

Today's episode is regarding one of the sidekicks from Pillars II, namely: "Rekke", a Storm Folk voiced by none other than Sam Riegel of Critical Role (actually there's a lot of CR vocal talent in this game). As well we dive into the known lore (and speculations) about where Rekke comes from, the enigmatic and intriguing hidden nation of Yezuha.

The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the fantasy world/setting used in Obsidian Entertainment's Pillars of Eternity series, and their upcoming first-person RPG: Avowed.

Today's episode comes in the wake of all the news/videos revealed recently. I've requested and collected all sorts of speculations and theories regarding Avowed (gameplay, game systems, lore, narrative, etc.) and placed them in this episode. The first half of the episode is gameplay and game systems, the latter half is lore and narrative. There's a real bang-on theory I really like submitted by ThanksToDenial on Reddit around the 45(ish) minute mark.

Enjoy! :)

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

Today's episode is a special (and long) one. Recently we saw official gameplay of Avowed at the Xbox Games Showcase 2023, with an entire trailer to go over. As well there were some exclusive interviews with developers at Obsidian, both at the Xbox Extended Showcase, and on PCGamer.com.

In all of this news there's much to go over. The game of Avowed itself, how it feels, how it plays, and of course - the lore. So join me as I summarize all the news, then go through the gameplay trailer overviewing the lore we see showcased in that.

Request for next episode: send me your speculations and theories about Avowed, whether it's gameplay, story, or whatever (small theory, or big tinfoil hat theory)...send it all!

Rather than leave you guys without any content the host of Avowedcast, Tsora, sent me the audio from our latest recording with Remeran and Jesse discussing the initial reactions to the newest Avowed trailer.

For those who haven't plugged into Avowedcast, this is their most recent full episode. For those who listen to both, sorry you only get this one this week. I'll be back next week with some lore found in the latest trailer. Enjoy!

SPOILERS related to Pillars of Eternity: the companion DURANCE, and his Companion side quest, "Trials of Durance".

The World of Eora is a news/lore podcast about the world/setting for Obsidian Entertainment's Pillars of Eternity games, and their upcoming release: AVOWED.

Today's episode comes by popular demand; we are looking at one of the companions you have in the first Pillars game, named Durance. He's an incredibly written character, well voice-acted, and whose story is woven deeply into the game's narrative. He's also kind of an ugly dude...
