Realm of the watchers

The Realm of The Watchers is a dimension that sits just outside the physical planes but is still connected and therefore accessible only through the physical planes. A massive collective of individuals live and work in the realm from various places in the system of Aroa, but is originally the home of the Watchers a species that for untold time have watched and collected knowledge.

Over time the Watchers extended invitations to individuals who sought to build and learn knowledge for the rest of their lives if they passed the test they would be given citizenship in this realm and would not be affected by time, in rare instances some Devils and Celestials become part of the collective. Some individuals are granted temporary access to the Realm but under guard and under very strict rules of what they can access. Various buildings within the Realm of the Watchers, are collectively known as the Library of Knowledge. They supposedly hold lore, songs, spells and even magic items found around the system of Aroa.

As individuals move up in ranks in the Realm they loose connection to their physical form and slowly become energy and they themselves become part of the collective that connects all things in the library essentially becoming spirits of knowledge who can hold an untold amount of information. These spirits are sought after by many individuals but it takes a very powerful magic user to bind the spirit in the material plane or even rarer a spirit willingly becomes a knowledge guide to an individual, should this happen the spirit is cut off from the collective and will only retain their abilities/titles acquired like Archivist, Librarian, Instructor, Researcher and the highest of these Sage who has mastered all abilities. There has never been a Sage spirit bound to the material plane as these spirits are to strong.

The Realm of the Watchers is a neutral plane of existence meaning they do not interfere no do they aid in the material plane, this is the reason any willing spirit or individual that is bound to the material plane is cut off from the collective so the acquired knowledge is not accessible by anyone outside the Realm of The Watchers.
