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 is all about DRUIDS. Those lovable scamps in the woods that are all about "being one with nature", and also turning into a bear to maul you to death. Druids are very fun to play in Pillars. Sadly we don't see a lot of archetypal druid stuff in Avowed from the player's perspective, but the lore is still there. This topic came from a fan request!

This week I do an overview of the currencies seen in Pillars of Eternity I & II. In the process we talk a bit about each of the cultures that these moneys come from, and a bit about just how currency/money works, in general. There's a lot of cool things about IRL money history that can be seen in what Obsidian put together for us in the Eoran economy.

This week, with the kickoff of the 2.0 update for Avowed, I started a brand new save file and found myself some of the unique quaterstaves in the game. Then I got to wondering - "why might there magical staves in Avowed and not in Pillars of Eternity" (from a lore perspective). So I put my thinking hat on, worked through some of the lore and actually came to realize some interesting things about how magical items might work in Eora.

This week's (delayed) episode was *supposed* to be about the Barbarian class and their rich history, etc etc. However it turned into a look at how emotions can affect the soul, and what that means for the world at large. This episode is more of a "questions rather than answers" kind of episode, but fret not - there is still some lore that we can sink our teeth into.

This week's episode is a deep dive into one particular order of Monks within the world of Eora. Monks in this world use pain as a way to embolden their soul to perform the superhuman feats you see in the game; and in the lore, some monks have interesting approaches to how they utilize that pain to achieve "enlightenment".
