The Watcher

The Watcher, also known as Deepeye to the citizens of Traveler's Respite, Vardana among the residents of Naxholme, the Sehika in the beliefs of the Sanemi People and Un'Un to the Kirin of Kirin'ko'Kaham, is a one-eyed, nine-foot tall entity of mysterious origin. The Watcher was first encountered on the continent of Lverstrwynn, but it has been sighted on every continent since its initial appearance.

Overview
Physically, The Watcher has a doll-like appearance, with articulating joints hidden partially by the cloak that It wears. Its joints are balls connected to long, bone-like, struts made of an unknown stone. Where most other beings would have a neck, the top of The Watcher's torso is a smooth, featureless surface. About half a meter above the chest, a large eyeball hovers of its own volition, jittering wildly when the creature becomes lost in thought.

The Watcher has centuries-old ties to the lands of Naxholme, although it's unclear if It settled in the region, or was born there. Deepeye has a home in Traveler's Respite but is most often away, wandering the world seemingly at random. The Vardana has a general repulsion towards being wet, a love of the flesh of sheep, and an adverse effect on horses, which The Watcher tends to react to by killing the animals on sight. The Sehika seems either incapable, or unwilling to utilize most forms of armor, tending to wear dark, loose, leather if it is forced to don any in the first place.

Abilities
The Watcher is capable of a form of teleportation achieved by folding itself into nothing, and unfolding elsewhere. It is not fully understood how the Sehika does this, but it seems to share a connection to the Lunar Magic of Naxholme, and soul manipulation. Vardana is also able to endow small objects with odd effects, such as levitation. Deepeye is apparently able to create weapons made of amethyst out of seemingly nothing, granting them as gifts. Such weapons hum and vibrate as though filled with chaotic energy.

Among the Sanemi People, the Sehika is considered an umogwe or demon, and attributed several supernatural abilites. The most notable of these supernatual powers is to curse the target of its gaze and cause the watched to make mistakes and errors; if the unfortunate victim makes direct eye contact, the curse is said to eventually prove fatal, unless a cleansing ritual is performed.
