Though willing to answer Omega's inquiries, the Watcher explained that his recollection of the time before the sundering was muddled, and that having the Warrior recount the tale would be more effective. As part of its investigations, Omega sought to speak with one of the Ancients, prompting the Warrior to deliver it to the Watcher. In the aftermath of the Final Days, the Warrior of Light was approached by Omega, who had transferred its consciousness to a model created by Garlond Ironworks, to help it understand how the Meteia's power over dynamis had affected the Omicrons. Eventually, the Warrior followed Watcher's advice and traveled to Elpis in the past, and discovered the source of the Final Days, the Meteia. He called the flower ' Elpis', mentioning the Warrior would do well to remember it. When the Watcher noticed the Warrior hold a glowing flower, he claimed it was like Hydaelyn to give it to them as a guide. The Scions of the Seventh Dawn determined it to be a last resort. The Watcher revealed in the event the Final Days should return, Hydaelyn had prepared a contingency: evacuation of the star's population to the moon. When that happened, the whole planet was affected by the phenomenon. The phenomenon had struck in places where aether currents were weakest, and over time, it even affected celestial aether currents that surrounded the world. The Watcher revealed the foundation of the Final Days, and how it caused the ruin of the Amaurotines. The Warrior informed them that Zodiark was no more. Y'shtola Rhul, Urianger Augurelt, and Thancred Waters arrived on the moon and met the Watcher. The Watcher asked the Warrior to join him at his palace. The Warrior and Watcher foresaw a vision through the Echo of Etheirys destroyed. With Zodiark gone, the shroud of aether that protected the star from the Final Days was undone. The Warrior defeated Him, and while the Watcher was set to reseal Him, Fandaniel used the weakened Zodiark to destroy itself. The Warrior failed to stop them, and was forced to fight Zodiark when Fandaniel merged with Him. He directed the Warrior to protect the final binding from Zenos Galvus and Fandaniel. One day, the Watcher witnessed a powerful wave of aetherial energy destroy five out of six of Zodiark's bindings, and met the Warrior of Light recognizing them as Hydaelyn's chosen. He was forced to bear witness of the seven Umbral Calamities as each of them rejoined a part of Zodiark to Him, the primal becoming more powerful with each rejoining. For millennia, the Watcher resided in his palace and watched over the seal.

To ensure Zodiark remained in stasis, Hydaelyn created the Watcher to see over His seal. He was conflicted about Venat's decisions, knowing that in becoming Hydaelyn's heart, she would forever stand apart from the people she loved.Īfter Hydaelyn sundered Zodiark and Etheirys, She created the silver moon to serve as a prison for Zodiark, because if He was destroyed, the Final Days that had nearly destroyed Etheirys would return. When the Final Days bore down upon the Ancients, he joined Venat's faction in opposition of Zodiark. As a man of learning, he was firm friends with Venat, spending long hours trading theories, or debating the universe.

The Watcher is an aetherical construct based on an Ancient who was comrades with Venat and part of the group that summoned Hydaelyn.īefore the sundering, the individual whose essence was used to create the Watcher was a scholar at Anamnesis Anyder.
