Although it doesn't look the part, Obsidian's newly-released RPG, Avowed, is actually a spin-off of the Pillars of Eternity franchise. The game takes place in Eora, the world in which the PoE games are set, and it features many of the series' enemies, locations, and characters. In Avowed, players assume the role of an envoy of the Aedyr Empire who is sent to the Living Lands, a frontier island in the far north of Eora, to investigate a mysterious plague called the dreamscourge that is quickly spreading across the region.
