Ender Watchers

The Ender Watchers were a small faction in the End. During the War of the Ender Kingdoms, the surviving factions became one alliance under Ceris, the ruler of Dragonspire. The newly formed Ender Watchers managed to defeat and banish Lance, the warlord who started the war. They locked away the End Crystals, whose power Lance abused, and built their capital city near the gateway to the Nether.
The Watchers were far isolated from the other kingdoms. They alone involved themselves with outside affairs. They allied with the , a faction in the Overworld; named one of their warriors Ceris's heir; and ended a longstanding war there. The , one of their enemies in the war, conquered their capital, slayed their leaders, and enslaved their people. The Watchers have been vanquished, but they sent their artefacts to their Overworld allies who fight against the Nether.

==Politics==
New Dragonspire was a city-state ruled by Ceris, who was officially titled the Matriarch (colloquially Queen).Olaguer, Rain [radapedaxa] (December 31, 2022). "Perhaps the Endstone Deltas give that title to their rulers that way. For example, Ceris is technically Queen of the Ender Watchers, but her actual title is Matriarch which pretty much means the same thing". Discord message.

==Philosophy ==
After their victory, the Ender Watchers disavowed the Ender Lords' philosophy of inner perfection and began to think that they had a greater purpose.Olaguer, Rain [radapedaxa] (October 27, 2023). "inward perfection is the common belief of the Ender Lords. The Ender Watchers are different. After defeating Lance, they learned that they have a better purpose, thus they vowed to keep the balance between the Nether, Overworld, and End." Discord message.

==History ==
As of Falling, all the pictured Ender Watchers, excluding Ceris, as well as (presumably) the majority of the End, were killed by the Nether Horde led by King Naeus in the Horde's campaign on the End, whom it had previously declared war on.
As of Cold as Ice: The Remake, Ceris was beheaded by Naeus, thus ending her reign. It is unknown if the Endermen present at her execution met similar fates or are being held as prisoners of war. Rain and Stella are the last Ender Watchers left to have survived; Rain being their successor, as he controlled the Ender Dragon using an Ender Eye in Cold as Ice, and Stella being half Enderkin.

==Trivia==
*The Ender Watchers are allegedly based upon the Abyss Watchers from Dark Souls.
*The Ender Watchers were originally called the 'Sky faction'https://twitter.com/Rainolaguer/status/898553551068123140/photo/1
*The Ender Watchers was the only faction so far with a female ruler, with Ceris as their former leader.
**The Elytra Corps has Lady Azura as their leader, however this is only a subfaction.
*Stella is the only named member of the faction whose age has not been revealed.
**It has been said that Stella is roughly between 18-21 years old.
*Stella and Rain are the only two members to belong to other factions.
**Rain and Stella both herald from the Frostbourne faction. 
***Stella is a Coven member as well as a member of the Nether Horde temporarily.
***Rain was also a member of the Undead faction, but was cured and defected.
**They are also the only two members of the faction confirmed to be alive.
* Zeganirn and the Dragon are the only Ender Watchers who do not speak. 
** They are also the only non-bipedal members of the Faction.
**Both are also treated as pets.
* All original members of the Ender Watchers were killed by the Nether Horde.
** The Ender Dragon and Ceris were both killed by Naeus.
*It could be possible that the Ender Watchers believed in Gods, more specifically Greek Gods. This is supported by:
**Vordus' line in the Fractures Trailer ("The Gods themselves seek our corruption")
**The Lyrics for Ender Wish mention the Fates, otherwise known as the Moirai. The Moirai were depicted as a trio weaving goddesses who assign individual destinies to mortals at birth, and when a person was to die, they'd cut their string.
**Vordus' title as a Seer is in itself a reference to Greek Mythology and their Oracle of Delphi, who was able to speak to the God Apollo in order to learn of the Future. 
***Seers also exist in other mythologies such as Egyptian Mythology.
