Revision as of 17:33, 11 January 2019

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.
