Patel then also worked as a Senior Narrative Designer on Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds before becoming Game Director on that game’s Peril on Gorgon DLC.Īvowed won’t be released in the next twelve months, since Microsoft unveiled the entire lineup during the showcase. The current Avowed game director is believed to be Carrie Patel, who joined Obsidian in late 2013 and began working as a narrative designer on both Pillars of Eternity games, which means she is very knowledgeable when it comes to the world of Eora. But when he said on Twitter that the game keeps losing leads, he was not lying. Given his history, people were understandably skeptical. As it turns out, Avellone was the first to mention in public that the game had lost directors.I did not say “the game is going through development hell and will never come out.” But it has certainly had some real issues. As I said on Twitter, that’s why I don’t expect it to be out any time in the near future. My understanding, based on conversations with multiple people close to Obsidian not named Chris Avellone, is that Avowed has gone through multiple reboots and lost/replaced several directors and leads last year.In 1492 DR, the Gatewarden is Kalan Strongbranch, a human archmage. The Gatewarden maintains security at the front gates, through which all visitors must enter. In 1492 DR, the Chanter is a middle-aged shield dwarf priest of Milil (god of poetry and song) named Benedora Stoneforge. It’s led by either the Chanter or a hand-picked subordinate. The Endless Chant, as it is called, travels throughout the keep day and night.

In 1492 DR, the First Reader is Bookwyrm, a dragonborn master sage of green dragon ancestry. Acquiring unique tomes and scrolls falls under the First Reader’s purview. The First Reader constantly expands Candlekeep’s literary resources and base of knowledge. The Keeper of Tomes appoints individuals to fill key roles, as described in the sections that follow. In 1492 DR, the Keeper of Tomes is the human archmage Janussi, a devoted follower of Deneir. Tie votes are broken by the First Reader. If a Keeper dies or departs before making that choice, the council of Great Readers votes to determine who among them is elevated to the position. The Keeper’s word is law, and each Keeper’s edicts are recorded for the edification of future Keepers.Ī Keeper of Tomes chooses their own replacement. The Keeper is the highest-ranking member of the Avowed and the governor of Candlekeep, who selects scholars to fill vacant leadership positions. High-ranking members of the Avowed include the individuals described below. The majority of them are low-level assistants, newcomers to the order, or scribes who handle the everyday work in the keep (use the commoner stat block to represent them). Roughly three hundred Avowed live in Candlekeep.
