Ep. #145: Grieving Mother

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 I finally take a bold stance. You're playing Path of the Damned difficulty WRONG! Yeah, I said it, what you gon do about it, huh!? Nothing, that's what!Except perhaps play Avowed (and Pillars) as a devout Magranite and properly engage in the challenge PotD offers on a mental and spiritual level? Idk, Maybe...

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 dives into the Pillars of Eternity companion, Grieving Mother. A powerful cipher with a dark story who uses her abilities to create illusions to hide. One of the more interesting characters, especially from a writing perspective, to check out. Could Grieving Mother be in Avowed? Technically, yes, she could - but we would never [email protected]@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeora

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 I turn to the new weapons and armour from the latest major update (Patch 1.5) and check out some lore from those items. TO BE CLEAR I do not go through each and every item, that would be a ridiculous use of your time; but I do go through a few and explain the lore that's presented in them. The rest I'll leave for future episodes, or for curious gamers to check out [email protected]@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeora

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 asks the question: "Does the Living Lands, as presented in Avowed, line up with the lore we see from Pillars of Eternity about the Living Lands?" Bit of a mouthful I know, but it's something I was wondering about in a recent playthrough. Avowed is a much more different game than Pillars of Eternity, and so the presentation of the Living Lands as a vibrant place in this fantasy world will also be different. So what I do on this episode is look at Living Lands lore from PoE1&2, and ask "Did we see something like that in Avowed?"[email protected]@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeora

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 I springboard of a recent Reddit post I created on r/Avowed wherein I asked you, the community, about what references do we see, in Avowed, to the Pillars of Eternity games. I had several finds of my own, but the community together easily tripled that list. This episode basically runs through that list, and why those references MATTER to us Pillars gamers, as well as the Eora world in [email protected]@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeora

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 episode ORIGINALLY started off as a "various unique items" lore episode, but it kind of turned into an episode all about Necropants, a much-beloved piece of "armor" you can acquire in Avowed. There's plenty of tangents I go on, and the lore is all over the place, but it's a fun episode. You'll wanna check this one [email protected]@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeora
