DISCLAIMER: [read full disclaimer] This episode contains major spoilers for Pillars of Eternity I & II. The episode is split into two parts, the first are my theories which are SPOILER-FREE, but the second part (which are community-submitted theories) I do not hold back any spoiler-related ideas. There is a musical interlude segmenting these two parts, so you'll be able to know when to jump out if you need to.
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 upcoming action RPG: Avowed.
This week's episode is all about speculation! Whether it's game mechanics, narratives mysteries, character progression, or potential story twists - we got it all. And by "we" I mean myself, and those who submitted theories on Reddit!

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 upcoming action RPG: Avowed.
This week's ONE HUNDREDTH episode features a decently in-depth overview of the Avowed Deep Dive, as seen on Xbox's Official Youtube Channel. There's *a lot* to cover here, so I won't even list it all. Suffice it to say, it's all very interesting. There's a good mix of lore and gameplay related discussion today :)
As well, just a BIG thank you to all who've been on this journey with me with this podcast (whether you've been here since the beginning, or you jumped on recently). It's been a wonderful 100 episodes, and I can't wait to aim for 100 more (we will see how much lore we can parse from Avowed, I suppose). So thanks to you, the listeners; and thanks to Obsidian for their support and just creating an awesome world for us to camp in each week :)

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 upcoming action RPG: Avowed.
This week's episode we cover A LOT! (1) an overview of the all the news related to Avowed (up to the point of recording, that is); and (2) we dive into the Story Trailer for Avowed to discuss all the topics of LORE we see within.
If you're at all interested in the world Avowed takes place in, this episode is a nice one to start in on. We discuss the empire your player character comes from, who the lady with fire-eyes is, and a bit about what might have gone on in the Living Lands (Avowed's setting) a long time ago.

This week's episode follows the last leg of famed Vailian explorer, Fulvano, in the first Pillars of Eternity game. Will we see Fulvano in Avowed? Almost assuredly not. However, might Fulvano have already visited the Living Lands and left stuff for us to find? Almost assuredly maybe. -

This week's episode looks at a few off-screen adventures you send player companions on as part of your title of "Watcher of Caed Nua". In these adventures we see references to lore/stories otherwise not mentioned elsewhere in the game(s). Using these context clues and other pieces of lore, we examine what's going on and what it could mean for other narratives in Eora.

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 upcoming action RPG: Avowed.
This week's episode focuses on the story of several NPCs in the first Pillars of Eternity game, and narrows in on the connective tissue between their stories, backstories, relationships and side quests.
Random side note, I had recorded some thoughts on the Tango & Arkane closures but removed them just because I don't think it was necessary for me to do so. But I do think it's sad, and wonder what it means for the industry. If you'd like to strike up a conversation send me an email. Also, I'm sure we will talk about it on Avowedcast; perhaps I'll say something next week after thinking. Anyways, that was nothing that needed to be said, but there it is...

Warning: The second HALF of this episode contains major spoilers for Pillars of Eternity 1.
This week's episode focuses on the ruined sites of Engwithan structures/locales within the Dyrwood (the setting for the first Pillars of Eternity game). We explore the purposes behind these places/facilities, and discuss some of their ancient secrets.

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 upcoming action RPG: Avowed.
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.

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 upcoming action RPG: Avowed.
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.

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 upcoming action RPG: Avowed.
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!

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 upcoming action RPG: Avowed.
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.

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.
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?

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

Today's episode we look at the other confirmed Avowed companion: Giatta Castell.

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.
