Enlightened Watcher

"Those who seek the truth are those who willingly gave up their mortal coils for your cause, master Terminus.
We, the librarians of Konesans, will be in the eternal servitude of him, who has given us the chance to understand it all.
We are your loyal quills, we are your trusty blades; we are yours and you are our god!"

Chant of the Enlightened Watcher

Requirements

One does not simply become an Enlightened Watcher, one has to earn it.
This rank and all its attached benefits and requirements will only be granted to the most successful Silent Watchers. Those, whose thirst for knowledge is far greater than what any mortal, even elves, can quench in a lifetime.
Those who have managed to satisfy their god's curiosity on multiple occasions having successfully undergone expeditions uncovering knowledge unknowing to the all-knowing or proven their worth again and again in the archives and libraries of the church.
...
Also a quite important aspect nobody knows about is the Watcher's personality.
If Terminus doesn't want your annoying ass to reside for 1000 years in his very brain, then tough luck convincing him to give you a chance.

Benefits

Leaving behind one's body to get reborn into a Sudo-Eternal frame to grasp a fraction of the divines immortal life:

As the promised Knowledge Pool, Terminus private library (and brain) is located in Prius' orbit and has no breathable atmosphere, the first benefit of enlightenment is death.
Death to get reborn once more piloting now your new small-scale Eternal-frame.
A body, who has no need for nourishment nor sleep; only pure energy.
A metal corpus allowing your mind and soul to gain access to the secret knowledge of the Omniscient.

Access to Konesans and the Pool of Knowledge:

This part is an offer, Watchers could refuse or postpone, but usually won't.
Most Watchers, who have fulfilled the conditions postponed the first part until their mortal body proved to be a burden eventually.
The trip to the artificial moon is a one-way-Trip, as some of the knowledge up there is considered Level-9 intel and therefore not to be spread among the surface.
The content of the Eternal Library, as well as the top-notch comfort and entertainment provided by the Omnipresent, is far more than enough to turn the following 1000 years into an experience worth living for.

Dross Hegraven

Dross was a special case for many reasons which rose quite a few questions.:

When he got officially ascended by Terminus to the rank of an Enlightened Watcher 4987 AS, he was already a Sudo-Eternal and furthermore a quite strange variant of it.
A body that can shapeshift into his mortal form being seemed highly unnecessary for finally visiting a place, where no mortal being can survive.
Furthermore he was on a 'you' level with the Omnipotent strangely getting called on various occasions 'Brother' by him.
Besides these strange cases Dross proved to be a valuable addition to the church, residing on Prius as the material other eye of the ever Watchful. While the high priest remained in control of the church, Enlightened Watcher Hegraven became the official assistant of the Silver Golem.

In the following years, Dross underwent multiple expeditions as advisor of the Omniscient, first to the Squa'osa Archipelago and afterwards a second trip to Sepernius to confirm his previous discoveries.
