Pillars of Eternity: The White March - Part I is the first addon for Pillars of Eternity. It features new quests, new abilities, new talents, new areas, two new companions, new creatures, new items, and the level cap is raised to 14. The addon is integrated into the main story and not a separate campaign. It is followed by Pillars of Eternity: The White March - Part II.

Story

You set out for Stalwart. The White March rises up in the distance, stretching to the north and south as far as the eye can see. It beckons to you with peaks like broken fingers.

The road thins to a tattered ribbon, and the shadow of the mountains falls across your path. You've barely begun your climb when the darkening sky pummels you with hailstones and turns the ground beneath you to ice.

You press on.

The air grows thin, and the treacherous mountain passes funnel screeching winds past your ears. A blizzard forces you to make camp for three days, huddling for safety while snow piles around your refuge.

At last the weather clears and you approach Stalwart under a crisp, blue sky. There's a noise, high and sharp, coming from the village that sounds at first like another frozen gale. But when you top the rise and reach the village's wooden gates, you see what lies beyond them...

After you have gotten Caed Nua and completed Never Far from the Queen, you will be contacted by the mayor of Stalwart in the White March. She asks for your help to reawaken the white forges of Durgan's Battery. Because after the village tried to get into the ruins, the village was attacked by an ogre tribe.

Dragon Leap 13 Drawing upon reserves of intense spiritual power, barbarians are able to leap high into the air and crash down upon their foes, Dazing them.

Sundering Blow 13 The fighter makes a primary attack that does additional damage and lowers the target's Damage Reduction.

Acolyte's Radiance – weaker Holy Radiance (Priest ability)
Apprentice's Sneak Attack – weaker Sneak Attack (Rogue ability)
Aspirant's Mark – weaker Nature's Mark (Druid spell)
Enigma's Charm – weaker Whisper of Treason (Cipher power)

New spells

Wizards, priests, ciphers, and druids gain access to new 7th level spells. Chanters gain access to new 4th level phrases and invocations.

New equipment

Soulbound weapons

Soulbound weapons are weapons that can be bound to a character. They get new powers, if you complete different achievements and you will also get more information about the weapon if you advance it. Each weapon can only be bound to specific classes and the different classes will get unique powers from the weapon. If the weapon is bound to character, only this character can use it, but you can sever the binding and lose all advancement you made with this weapon. They have a larger information window with a pen and ink style illustration of the weapon. They can't be enchanted and they will get a bonus from every weapon talent even if it wouldn't qualify for the talent.
