The  ****Ender Watchers**** is a major protagonistic faction in *Fractures*. They first appeared in *Cold as Ice*.

Formed from an alliance between several End Kingdoms during the War of the Ender Watchers, the Ender Watchers were ruled by Ceris and inhabited the End Capital of New Dragonspire. The Ender Watchers allied with the Frostbourne during the Battle for Glacierford to defeat Herobrine. However, the Watchers fell in the Battle of New Dragonspire, where the Nether King led the Nether Horde to capture the city.

## Information

A small group of powerful Enderkin who strive to maintain peace and balance among realms.*
―Rainimator on Discord

The Ender Watchers are based on the End, and strived to live a purposeful life as well as protect the End Crystals, being said to follow an ancient prophecy that led to the true, purpose-driven existence. They were also said to have a duty to "protect the sanctity of time and space".

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.

### Cultural Practices

The Ender Watchers are a culture of warriors, where surrender and forfeit are seen as unjust or cowardly in the interest of the greater good. Those who desert their posts are thus banished from the faction until they can prove their worth.

As with every End nation, the Ender Watchers believe in a simple mantra; "**The Void is the beginning and end of all things.**" As such, when one dies, they will throw their bodies into the Void, under the belief a spiritual plane lies beneath to take their souls away.

### Political System

The Ender Watchers' ruling body is a matriarchal absolute monarchy headed by the End Matriarch, otherwise known as the End Queen; her rule is alongside the Dragonseer, and the elders and most respected commanders in all the realm. It is a great and honorable nation, where surrender and giving up are viewed as unjust and unrightful in the interests of the greater good of Minecraftia. All Endermen, if needed, must be rallied in battle.

The Ender Watchers' ruling body are tasked with protecting the realm, the End Crystals and, if not their survival, the End's legacy. Doing so may have been dishonorable.

## Trivia

* The Ender Watchers are allegedly based upon the Abyss Watchers from Dark Souls.
* 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.
