The Watchers of the Eternal Eye were a group of radical Illistim scholars. They were mostly comprised of scholars who wished to pursue research the Masters of Lore rejected, whether because it was too dangerous or ignored for some other reason given existing resources. The Masters of Lore were unwilling to pursue a number of subjects, deeming them "impractical", but possibly for any number of reasons that were less convincing for others.
The Watchers would step in wherever the Masters of Lore would demure. They would be much less bound by traditional Illistim ethics, in any case, often ruthless in the methods they employed to extract information. It was thought that they had a number of Fash'lo'nae followers among their membership, and so were only too willing to pursue subjects the culture often deemed "taboo" or "forbidden." Fash'lo'nae himself is suspected as having been the one who distributed his own history, as collected and written by Vaelsoth Inzuniel. The Unending Circle, consisting of Lumnis followers wishing to ban "dangerous magic", was directly opposed to their efforts (especially on the subject of demons.)
They were known for their subversive scholarship, which was not always of an arcane nature. Their historical inquiries had often found "alternate bloodlines" of highly influential families, illegitimacies and so on, as well as "certain acts" committed by important figures of history or the ruling establishment. These would never be in the form of speculation or innuendo, such as the scandals often suspect of the Council of Thrones, but with all the necessary proof to make the matter irrefutable. It has caused considerable embarrassment for a number of families, as well as powerful figures who are usually in the business of projecting the moral superiority of Illistimi ethos.
