World Climate and Culture

Eora is the common name of the world on which Pillars of Eternity is set. It consists of various continents and islands, including the Eastern Reach region where the events in this story take place. Eora’s known history extends back as far as 12,000 years and is home to a multitude of races, ethnicities, and creatures that populate it.

This part of the world is in the southern hemisphere and has climates similar to those found in central and southern Europe. The locale includes mountains, rolling hills, and valleys, and borders on a sea. It’s at about 16th century European level technology with full plate armor, galleons, simple wheellock guns (e.g., arquebus). Civilized art and architecture are Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance in flavor. Different humanoid cultures have lived in these areas for at least 5,000 years.
