The World of Eora: an Avowed & Pillars of Eternity Lore Podcast Eric Reno

First off: if you have any thoughts/theories on Avowed-related stuff after the Story Trailer dropped on Xbox's 2024 Showcase on June 9, send them my way, I'll happily put them on the show (send via email, either written or recorded).



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 just a short set of insights and thoughts after watching the trailer. I haven't dove into it fully or dissected anything. It's just "initial thoughts". But, I think there's some interesting observations I've noted which some of you might find intriguing, and get the ole tinfoil hats out, as well.

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.

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...

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.
