This week's episode focuses on the "Seeker, Slayer Survivor" DLC for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. The focus is going to be on the 'god' of Toamowhai, but it will also include lore on the surrounding island (Kazuwari) and the Temple/Crucible you spend a lot of time at (Temple of Toamowhai), as well as the story of what's going on there.

The first portion of today's episode are spoiler-free, but be warned the second portion contain MAJOR SPOILERS for the DLC of this game, so keep that in mind moving forward.

In this week's episode I focus on one of the nations within the world of Eora setting. It's one we hear about a lot, but don't actually have a single substantial source of lore for. There's a lot to be said, however, when you add it all up. After discussing Naasitaq and its culture, I redirect attention to a Pillars of Eternity (1) companion character, Sagani, and discuss her particular story.

This week's episode is about "the Great Reef", a naturally occurring structure of the Deadfire Archipelago which may hold deeper secrets than we know. This lore, as far as I can tell, is only found in the Guidebook for Pillars, and not the game itself. So, this may be new info for a lot of us!

This week's episode we pit several religious figures from the world of Eora's histories against each other to ask "who would win a fight"... Maybe not a 'fight' as in 'fisticuffs', but in terms of subduing one another. We have five interesting characters throughout Eora's history, each with their own unique abilities that they can bring. Aside from that, the lore behind each character is also interesting for new and old players alike. Hope you enjoy today's episode!

NOTE: there's an important question near the end of the episode (in the 44min area) that I'd like some feedback on.

This week's episode was very randomly decided upon, but the bottom line is: in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire there are some sea shanties you hear sung when sailing throughout the Deadfire Archipelago (the setting for that game). While the lyrics to these songs aren't plumbing the depths of esoteric lore, they do allude to ideas and moments that occur within this fantasy world; and I think it's writing like that which really gives life to a fictional world. So, in honour of that, let's take a look at the lyrical content for the Sea Shanties from the second Pillars of Eternity game...

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

In this week's episode we focus on a particular Paladin order within this world (Paladins being individuals you'd classify as "martial zealots"), "The Shieldbearers of St. Elcga". We learn a little bit about their origins, what they stand for, what they condone. As well a bit about the history of this noblewoman, Elcga, in Aedyr's history...Aedyr being the empire that you Avowed player character will hail from.

Today's episode breaks down five off-screen adventures from the first Pillars game. These five adventures are of the "Legendary" tier in the game, and as such they have a lot of really interesting and esoteric lore to go over. Honestly, they create more questions than provide answers, but sometimes it's that speculative lore that really gets you into this stuff, ya know?

Today's episode touches on the last of the main creatures we see in the bestiary for Pillars of Eternity, both of these creatures have decent precedence set for being in Avowed (but whether they are or not, we don't yet know). So I figured, worth taking a look at. Skuldrs are kind of a person-sized humanoid bat creature, the Trolls are... well, trolls! But we discuss/speculate a little on how it is they regenerate health.

This week's episode discusses the remainder of the creatures in the "Vessel" category in the bestiary. Vessel creatures are basically things/people that have a weird relationship to a soul being implanted in them (or not leaving when it should) causing a new type of creature/thing to exist as a result. It's very interesting, and tied deeply to important lore/topics in the world of Eora (souls, metaphysics, animancy, etc.)
