Lore

Arcane Watcher is highly similar in appearance to the statue of The Grand TournamentRhonin that was erected in the Eventide district of Dalaran following the Kirin Tor leader's death during the Attack on Theramore Isle.

Trivia

  • Arcane Watcher's flavor text is likely a reference to the A Song of Ice and Fire book series and its TV adaptation Game of Thrones, in which eulogies for fallen members of the Night's Watch order is usually finished with the words "And now his watch is ended". The phrase is often misquoted by fans as "And now his watch has ended".
