Lurien the Watcher Information

Lurien the Watcher, who resides at the top of Watcher's Spire in the City of Tears, is the most loyal Dreamer to the Pale King. His title of "The Watcher" was given to him for constantly watching the City Of Tears though his telescope at the top of his spire. He is guarded by Watcher Knights, large armored beetles who were his servants before they became Infected.

At the top of the Spire, Lurien’s devoted butler, shown to be a Cowardly Husk, remains guarding him, watching over his bed as he sleeps (though not much is known about the butler aside from Lurien mentioning him in his journal, which can be found and read in a hidden nook in the Spire). Lurien volunteered to become a Dreamer, and he shows a great admiration for the Pale King.

Notes & Tips

• Lurien’s insectoid species is unknown. He is the most enigmatic of the Dreamers, but the most loyal to the Pale King and Hallownest. His body shape, seen partly beneath his robes, is oddly reminiscent to that of a Kingsmould.
• You can find and read some of Lurien’s writings in a journal within a hidden nook at the top of the Watcher’s Spire.
• Lurien’s devoted butler, a timid Cowardly Husk (also mentioned in Lurien’s journal), still watches over him in his resting place in the Spire. The butler appears to be Infected due to his glowing eyes, but he is not hostile, and immediately runs away from the Knight. He remains there even after Lurien has been defeated.
• While his precise occupation is unknown, his title and the environmental clues at the Watcher's Spire suggest he was spying on the bugs of Hallownest for the Pale King.
