It observes the actions of others and relays them to the secret leaders of the Cult of the Absolute. It can report crimes and will attempt to alert its allies if it is attacked. It can be found at outposts of the Absolute, including the Shattered Sanctum, Grymforge, and Moonrise Towers.

If the party is ever caught committing a crime against the Absolute by a Scrying Eye, then the Steel Watcher guarding the South Span Checkpoint in Rivington will turn hostile if allowed to examine the party.

Tactics
