The Watcher of the Waves is a giant who resides on a small isle in the Angry Kings archipelago of the Wounds. He is thought by many to have been left behind by his people long ago, yet none know his history or even his name, for the Watcher speaks a language unknown to anyone else that defies all manner of translations. Yet he is willing to talk to any who visit, despite the fact that neither side involved in these conversations can truly understand the other. When left alone the Watcher spends much of his time either fishing, seemingly for entertainment as well as for food, or else wistfully gazing out at the seas.
Oral accounts of the Watcher of the Waves credibly date back thousands of years.
