WELCOME TO PILLARS OF ETERNITY
Obsidian Entertainment invites you to our latest foray into the world of fantasy RPGs. Pillars of Eternity is a spiritual successor to the isometric-style games of the late 90's, such as Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment. Pillars of Eternity introduces the new fantasy setting of Eora, the country of Dyrwood, and an as of yet untold story that sheds light on some of the mysteries lurking under the surface of this campaign setting.
Why did we make Pillars of Eternity? It was for more than simple nostalgia. Some of the best told stories have emerged from this "old school" approach to gaming. The techniques of the previous generation were too valuable to leave in our rearview mirror ? from narrative depth to richness of atmosphere, compelling characters, and a style of play customized to the user's chosen experience. What's more, we wanted the opportunity to bring new lessons and evolved skill sets to an art form that was already strong in its heyday. Pillars of Eternity will look and play better than its forbearers, and benefit from the wisdom that made them great.
We also wanted to craft an experience that resonated with seasoned players while inviting those for whom this is their first adventure. Since Pillars of Eternity is partially an echo of well-loved games, many of
its themes and mechanics may seem familiar. However, this game is the first expression of a multiverse yet to be explored. Join us on this first step into
an unpaved frontier.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
