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

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

This week's episode asks the question: "Does the Living Lands, as presented in Avowed, line up with the lore we see from Pillars of Eternity about the Living Lands?" Bit of a mouthful I know, but it's something I was wondering about in a recent playthrough. Avowed is a much more different game than Pillars of Eternity, and so the presentation of the Living Lands as a vibrant place in this fantasy world will also be different. So what I do on this episode is look at Living Lands lore from PoE1&2, and ask "Did we see something like that in Avowed?"

This week's episode discusses the Archmage Ryngrim, whom we read about in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, but actually get to *see* in Avowed. In Deadfire all we knew were three things: (1) she's an archmage; (2) Tayn is desperately trying to befriend her; and (3) her magic specializations seem to focus on fear-based illusion spells.

This week I springboard of a recent Reddit post I created on r/Avowed wherein I asked you, the community, about what references do we see, in Avowed, to the Pillars of Eternity games. I had several finds of my own, but the community together easily tripled that list. This episode basically runs through that list, and why those references MATTER to us Pillars gamers, as well as the Eora world in general.

This episode ORIGINALLY started off as a "various unique items" lore episode, but it kind of turned into an episode all about Necropants, a much-beloved piece of "armor" you can acquire in Avowed. There's plenty of tangents I go on, and the lore is all over the place, but it's a fun episode. You'll wanna check this one out.

This week's episode dives back into some foundational PILLARS OF ETERNITY lore, but still includes Avowed stuff as well (they're all in the same world, after all). Focusing on Wizards today. Mostly we discuss how it is that wizards cast spells, but we also discuss a famous magic academy: Bragganhyl Academy, which has multiple mentions in Avowed item descriptions. Did the developers have Bragganhyl on their minds for DLC and that's why it's so prevalent? I, for one, hope so!

This week's episode looks at a six-part set of in-game tomes aptly titled "Maxims of the Pargrunen". In there we see a direct change of Pargrunen-ness that the dwarves in Avowed have compared to their brethren elsewhere in the world.

Spoilers for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire in this week's episode. Nothing critical path spoiler, but some interesting lore you find in other questing.

This week's episode we dive into the lore found in five books, as found in the "Dawntreader" sidequest. These are the "History of the Living Lands" books you may have found. Don't know if you have them? Well, if you have the *Historian* achievement, then you do. These five tomes explore the origins of the Living Lands and its ancient, now lost people: the Godless.

Tangential spoilers for the ending segments of the game. KIND OF directly related to the mainline narrative, but technically something you could miss in detail. I leave it to you to decide.

This week's episode focuses on a series of documents you can find, called "Orisons" later in the game, which allude to the history of the Living Lands, and what happened to the Ekida (or, "the Godless"), in particular.
