PILLARS OF ETERNITY 2 CITY LOST TO TIME FREE
With Thaos slain, the Watcher was free to decide what to do with the captured souls, doing the bidding of one of six different gods' wills.
The game ends after the Watcher kills Thaos, and like many other aspects of the game, the details of the ending otherwise were dependent on the choices the player made throughout the game up to that point. Thaos, as it turned out, was the last of that ancient order, only able to survive into modern times by controlling his own reincarnation. Their primary goal was to shape the world by controlling the cycle of reincarnation among the general population.
The player tracks Thaos to the city known as Twin Elms, wherein it's revealed that the gods themselves are actually constructs forged by animancers using the material known as Adras, meant to serve as rulekeepers for an otherwise godless realm. Through the course of the game, it's eventually revealed that the Hollowborn Plague was a devious plan concocted by Thaos Ix Arkannon, a powerful priest who managed to frame animancers to cover up his own agenda. This hysteria eventually culminated in riots which saw the murder of scientists practicing animancy as well as the destruction of the college where they performed their research. The locals believed the Hollowborn to be a curse brought about by the study of souls. Through animancy, the study of souls, it was discovered that this power could be utilized in life and even transferred after death, namely in a still-misunderstood process that allows the soul to enter a new body, a process commonly known as reincarnation.Īt the time, the realm of Dyrwood was under the effects of what citizens called the Hollowborn Plague, where new children were being born without souls, left powerless and without any significant consciousness. Soon the world was on a cusp of a technological breakthrough - though science-minded citizens had been able to come up with technology like firearms, the biggest advancement came through a deeper understanding of the soul, namely as their basis for magical powers. Though the realm had a history of war and empires prior, these three major nations eventually found a mostly peaceful way of living among one another, going about their lives, trading goods, and working for the better good, all in the name of the remaining gods. In the world known as Eora, within the area known as the Eastern Reach, several varied nations began vying for control over the land: The Vailian Republics, the Penitential Regency of Readceras, and the Free Palatinate of Dyrwood. Years passed, and the struggle between Eothas and the other gods began to fade into memory.
His actions angered the other gods, who rallied together their own band of human believers and used the power of a bomb known as the Godhammer to destroy Eothas. The plot in Pillars of Eternity concerned itself with a number of ancient gods, primarily the god Eothas, a being who assumed control over a mortal body and guided his followers on a holy crusade.
