Cultural Significance

Greatly feared if not respected by all.
Ever time there is a new Grey Watcher the whole world knows due to the sheer power of the spells they use during the ascension ceremony and reinstills the fear and respect the Grey Cowls hold. After a particularly long reign of a Grey Watcher there tends to be less and less respect and fear shown as people forget or generations pass who didn't experience the power which quickly disappears when a new one is appointed.
The Grey Watchers word carries a lot of weight anywhere even the hobgoblins and their zealous hatred of magic would be hesitant to attack them or earn their wrath.
