Ep. #156: Spine of Thicket Green; Amira's Wings; and Concelhaut's Parasitic Staff
05.01.2026 | 37 min.
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 focuses on Quarterstaves and Rods, both are weapons we see in the Pillars of Eternity games. I'm focusing on them because the next weapon to be updated into Avowed in February is apparently a quarterstaff, but also might be related to magic. So to cover both bases I'm talking about both today.This episode features lore found in two unique weapons, and a bit of a dive into the Concelhaut spell "Parasitic Staff"[email protected]@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeora

Ep. #155: Algorithmic Roleplaying in the World of 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 action RPG: Avowed.This week is an unorthodox episode. I don't discuss a lore topic so much as I discuss a form of roleplaying in video games that I've enjoyed since I was a youth. At the time I didn't have a name for it, but as I grew I began calling it "algorithmic roleplaying", which some have asked me about. So I made this episode to outline how it works (for me), and maybe it'll inspire you to try your own as [email protected]@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeora

Ep. #154: Knights of the Crucible, pt 2: The Lower & Senior Ranks
15.12.2025 | 33 min.
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 we conclude our look at the Knights of the Crucible, which we overviewed last week. First encountered in Pillars of Eternity, they are one of three main quest factions that you can engage with to gain clout within the city of Defiance Bay. They began as Blacksmiths trained in Combat, and were instrumental in the War of Defiance. A war which garnered the Dyrwood's independence from their mother nation, Aedyr. Now that we know their history, what are their ranks like? And how do you move up through them? That's the focus on today's episode. Thanks for listening! :)[email protected]@worldofeorako-fi.com/worldofeoraI'm joining a new podcast! "Party Banter: an RPG Podcast" (we might work on the subtitle as we go).It's the crew of the now defunct "Avowedcast" continuing to get together, but now to discuss RPGs in general, the industry as a whole, and design elements in our favourite games.

Ep. #153: Episode 01 of "Party Banter", the podcast

Happy Holiday everybody!This week is an oddity.Recently, as some of you are aware, the show Avowedcast shut down, which has been a staple within the community for a while.While that show has shut down, the rest of the Avowedcast crew decided we wanted to continue podcasting, and so we began our own show "Party Banter", befitting our style and casual nature.Since it's a new project, and one I'm heavily involved in, I figured it appropriate to feature here on this feed. Don't worry it's not going to take up precious lore episodes, and I'll make sure to have a fresh batch of lore for you as soon as possible.For now though, enjoy this inaugural episode of "Party Banter", and if you'd like to get involved, please get in touch with me: [email protected] Thanks, and enjoy!
