The Nightwatcher

The Nightwatcher

Divine Symbols & Sigils

The symbol the Nightwatcher is a cloudy, bleeding eye. This is what gives him the name Sightblinder.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

The Nightwatcher's true form is unknown. He usually appears as a smoky black cloud that settles over the land. As one progresses toward the center, it becomes darker and darker, and then, one leaves the world entirely and enter a demiplane that the Nightwatcher fully controls. This is where the Nightwatcher truly resides. The black cloud is just the power from the demiplane leaking into Saeveroth. The Nightwatcher speaks to creatures in this plane, who are fully subjugated to his will.

Special abilities

The Nightwatcher's full abilities are unknown. He seems to be able to reshape reality on small scales, and to infect reality with the Shadow. In fact, many of the world's features, like the Shadowspawn, the Arsaki, and the world itself outside a Radiant Domes has been altered by the Shadow.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

No one knows much about the Nightwatcher. They know that he is the force that sends the Shadowspawn and caused the Breaking of the World. He came to this world about 2,000 years ago, and the Breaking of the World soon followed.

Intellectual Characteristics

From the few who have spoken with the Nightwatcher and have lived to tell the tale, he is extremely logical and able to think circles around you. His plans are incomprehensible, and he sees others as inferior.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

No one knows the plans the Nightwatcher. Even his most trusted allies can't fully comprehend him. The Nightwatcher attacks the Radiant Domes and seems determined to recreate the world in the image of the Shadow.

Likes & Dislikes

Like the Shadowspawn, the Nightwatcher cannot abide the Light. He seeks to destroy it, rending anything that is of the Light apart and replacing it with Shadow.

Social

Contacts & Relations

The Nightwatcher has several organizations working for him. The Taintcasters of the Arsaki among them. The Shadowspawn are also controlled by him. But all of these organizations are branches of the secretive Eclipse, the name for the organization that brings about the Nightwatcher's goals.

Social Aptitude

The Nightwatcher can convince you of anything. For this reason, Arsaki Darkhunters magically stop their ears before entering the Darklands and communicate by a telepathy spell.

Speech

The Nightwatcher can sound like anything, even those you trust most. But the voice that he uses in his demiplane is a booming voice that hisses and generally makes the person he is talking to feel terrified and knee-weak.

Interestingly enough, the Nightwatcher cannot speak any language other than Taintspeak. Not that he refuses to, but that he cannot. The Nightwatcher speaks an advanced form of Taintspeak that some scholars believe has special properties. Common Taintspeak is less complicated, and can be learned. Advanced Taintspeak can only be imparted as a gift from the Nightwatcher.
