Observers of the Circumpunct

The Observers of the Circumpunct are a monastic order based in the Middenmons of central Kealia. They reside within vast monastaries atop the towering peaks, and are dedicated to the accumilation of ancient knowledge and relics, and recording and recovering the histories of the world. Their stores of knowledge are amongst the most comprehensive of the world.

The Observers are an offshoot of the Order of Nilthir, which shattered in the Black Schism of 956 LA. Founded by the Master of Lore from the remnants of the Chronoscribes and BlindGuard, the group travel to Kealia, secreting away much of the hidden secrets from the then destroyed grand monastery of the Order of Nilthir, Kahkasaff. Since then have established monasteries in several large fortresses on the peaks of the Middenmons, the three largest of which are: Eturn, Hellveta, and Sellevite.

As a decendant order of the Order of Nilthir, the Observers of the Circumpunct has many cousin orders. It retains the closest links to the Illuminators Underfoot, with alongside whom they emigrated to Kealia with after the Black Schism, but also keeps distant contact with many other orders, and often is consulted by them for their vast stores of knowledge.
