Ep. #18: (history of) the Dyrwood, Pt. V & Pt. VI...

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/10/04

In today's episode we CONCLUDE our history series on 'The Dyrwood', which is the setting for the first Pillars of Eternity game (and *possibly* the setting for Avowed? See previous episodes for rationale on that speculation...); For those just joining, we are reading from a set of in-game books, a six-part series for the Dyrwood's history. Today we look at Pt. V ("The Proliferation of Animancy") and Pt. VI (The Saint's War and Waidwen's Legacy). If you've listened to all four of my Dyrwoodan history

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

['The World of Eora' is a lore (and soon-to-be news) show about Obsidian Entertainment's fantasy setting: EORA, which is used for their games Pillars of Eternity (I and II), as well as their upcoming game: Avowed] First of all, please excuse the (at least initial) monotony in my voice. Ironically, I was practicing this episode while at work and unintentionally made my voice a little hoarse. Don't worry, it's not painful to listen to, just something I wanted to put forward as a disclaimer. Today's

Ep. #16: the Dyrwood, Pt. IV - Hadret's Rebellion

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/09/05

In today's episode, we take another look at the man, the myth, the legend: Admeth Hadret, and how his actions led to the Dyrwood's eventual independence from it's mother-nation: The Aedyr Empire. The Dyrwood is the setting for Pillars of Eternity, and *speculatively* the potential setting for Avowed (question mark). I do a little tin-foil hat theory at the end of the episode, check it out.

Ep. #15: the Dyrwood, Pt. III - Introducing: Admeth...

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/09/05

As we continue our read-through of the Dyrwood's history (the setting for Pillars of Eternity), we introduce an event known as the 'War of Black Trees'. Which, more importantly, introduced Edrang's son, Admeth, into the narrative. Interestingly enough, it has been *speculated* that Avowed maaaaaaay take place around the time of the War of Black Trees, or that the giant statue we see in the reveal trailer maaaaaaay be Admeth Hadret. Who knows?

Ep. #14: the Dyrwood, Pt. I + II

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/09/05

In an effort to encourage old and new players of Pillars of Eternity, let's stop and take a look at the history of the setting for the original game that launched this series back in 2015 - the Dyrwood. This episode is the first (of three) that explores the historical foundations for the setting called 'the Dyrwood', which will hopefully add depth to your experience in playing Pillars of Eternity. In this episode, we cover the colonial campaigns of the Aedyran Empire in the Eastern Reach (the region

Ep. #13.5: The Podcast is BACK! - Lore Tidbit: BIAWACs

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/09/05

Hey everyone! I am back (or those who didn't know, I was gone over the summer), and being back I am also returning to making episodes for the Pillars of Eternity / Avowed lore show: "The World of Eora". But you already knew that, that's why you're here. Anyways! This mini-episode just serves as a quick update for what's going on and moving forward. AS WELL, I can't do an episode without *some* sort of lore dump. So we do a quick little chat about "Biawacs", otherwise known as Spirit Winds. That

Ep. #13: Hylea, goddess of the Sky

Hylea, the Sky-Mother, deity over birds and... maternity?? Okay then, weird combo, what's up with that? Learn the answer to this and more in today's *lovely* episode about Hylea, goddess of creativity. Stay tuned to the end to hear about Hylea's hilarious wrath, which I hope gets added into Avowed.

Ep. #12: Abydon, Pt. II, as is written in the Pillars...

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/05/31

Sorry for the convoluted episode title, but it gets the point across. WELCOME! To part two of two discussing the lore behind ABYDON, god of the Forge (and so much more). If you haven't listened to the previous episode I highly recommend it, for two reasons: (1) it'll give a good foundation for understanding some of this episode; and (2) because it raises my listen-count, but the former reason is the most important... *wink* In today's episode, let's bust open the Pillars of Eternity Collector's book

Ep. #11: The Scripture of Abydon, god of the Forge

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/05/17

Abydon is one of my favorite deities; he's a god whom this podcast would possibly be a work of worship towards - not because I worship Abydon, no. I mean, symbolically...Work is a pleasure to Abydon, and he encourages Kith to enjoy their work and to produce good work. Even though this podcast is not something physical, like a sword, I imagine the work behind it would honor him regardless. Join me in today's episode as we take a look at Abydon's "scripture": DAILY AFFIRMATIONS OF FOCUS AND EFFICIENCY

Ep. #10: The Wheel (Adra, the Soul, and Animancy)

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/05/03

Since we've been discussing BERATH so much in the last couple episodes it seemed fitting to discuss The Wheel, the cycle of reincarnation of Eora that is heavily associated with Berath. More importantly, it reviews some info about the Soul and Adra that we've touched on before and lays a solid introduction for ANIMANCY, an important aspect of what makes Eora the fantasy world it is. This episode *does* contain one minor spoiler and one major spoiler *BUT* I give you a warning as to when the spoilers

Ep. #9.5: Podcast PSA & A Lore-Bite!

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/04/26

Today, in what could be called...the last "Godandag" (God's Day) in "Majprima" (Mid-Spring), I offer you a quick PSA regarding the future of the podcast. As well, because I don't want to leave you without *some* lore, we go over the calendar year and days of the week for contemporary Eora (contemporary meaning "Pillars of Eternity" times). Actually, though, knowing the Eoran calendar *could* help us determine when Avowed is taking place in history, *if* any future leaks/reveals happen to show us a

Ep. #9: Berath, Pt. II

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/04/19

So I didn't quite get to *all* of the Berath-related lore in the last episode and in this one I hope to fill in a bunch of those gaps. Like last episode, most of it should be spoiler-free, and any spoilers that may pop up I give a warning so you can skip/mute. Today's episode is much more focused on Berath's personality, as well as her clergy. This is where the rubber meets the road, as it were.

Ep. #8: Berath, Goddess of Death, Pt. I

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/04/04

Also known as the Twinned God, Berath is one of the major players in the pantheon of Eora (the fantasy world of Pillars of Eternity / Avowed). I mean, *all* the gods are major players in the pantheon, but Berath is one of the deities your Pillars player character will interact with more. As well, fresh on the heels of Ep. 4/5/6 when we looked at the Aedyran Empire, Berath is one of the patron deities of that society...in fact, 'Berath' is the Aedyran name for that god over death, cycles, doorways,

Ep. #7: The Gods of Eora, Overview [SPOILER HEAVY]

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/03/21

Almost all epic fantasy stories have a unique pantheon of deities as part of their lore. Eora is no different. Using information from Pillars of Eternity I (and a little bit of II) let's take a look at the gods of Eora in general. This episode goes over the nature, history and names/domains of the gods. This episode contains MAJOR spoilers for Pillars of Eternity. Unfortunately there is no way to discuss the gods of Eora without getting into some of the important narratives from the Pillars games,

Ep. #6: History of Aedyr, Pt. II (Expanding Borders)

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/03/08

Aedyr is an empire referenced multiple times (subtlety) in Avowed's reveal trailer. In Ep. 4 we looked at their empire's origin, in Ep. 5 we took a look at their culture. In this episode we conclude our dive into Aedyr by looking at their colonization efforts in the Dyrwood (the setting for Pillars of Eternity). Perhaps now your Aedyr character background will have a little more meaning for you.

Ep. #5: Aedyran Culture

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/02/22

In the previous episode, we took a look at the origins of the Aedyr Empire (the nation heavily referenced through Avowed's reveal trailer). Before we continue on into the history of Aedyr's colonization efforts, let's take a step back and see what the average Aedyran is like. In this episode we go over some unique Aedyran holidays, take a look at the Aedyran language, and analyze the Aedyran value system.

Ep. #4: History of Aedyr, Pt. I (Origins)

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/02/07

The Aedyrans are a nation of people who's presence is hinted at throughout the Avowed Reveal Trailer. What better place to start than with a people group who are both foundational to the Pillars settings, as well as involved in all we have for Avowed. Join me as I read through an in-game lore book exploring the unique origins for this elf-human cultural amalgamation.

The day after the reveal trailer was debuted (at the Xbox Games Showcase) for Avowed, a LEAK came out (boy, that didn't take long). Let's see what lore is offered in this 20-bullet point list of leaked information, shall we? ["Spoiler": we pretty much just talk about 'The Living Lands'].

Something I left out from the last episode (Avowed's Reveal Trailer) about there being TWO MOONS in the Trailer. This small detail led to a wild speculative theory I have about Avowed's setting... MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD. Twitter: @worldofeora, Email: worldofeora@gmail.com

Ep. #2: Diving into Avowed's Reveal Trailer

The World of Eora: an Avowed + Pillars of Eternity... ·

2021/01/24

Since almost all of us are more likely familiar with the reveal trailer for Avowed (check it out at eternity.obsidian.net) I figured we'd start there. We go through, frame by frame...or I guess "sound cue to sound cue" and explore what lore there is to find in the trailer itself. Any questions? Twitter @worldofeora, email: worldofeora@gmail.com
