#do i also tag this avowed? idk i'm speculating

Y'know given Avowed's whole "there aren't many godlikes left" thing, allow me to serve some copium bc I personally don't think that godlike Watchers died and there is sufficient enough lore reasons for that

In case you never played Seeker, Slayer, Survivor, or you forgot about it, near the end of the dlc we meet Aexica, the person behind the Seeking Face and the ghost of an Engwithan animancer who worked on the Crucible which was basically a test version for the Wheel which was built next

As she explains, the Crucible and the Wheel emits (or used to emit in the Wheel's case) a signal that Watcher souls also emit - the Watcher sees souls and the souls see them back, remember? That is why the Engwithans could divert the natural flow of souls towards the Wheel instead and Aexica also explains, figuring out how to mimic the Watchers' soul signal was the hardest part of the project

Which basically means that even though Watcher souls are juicy and probs would make the best snack, in terms of long term survival, the gods are better off leaving godlike Watchers alone so they could be studied or maybe even have their souls power the new Wheel in a worst case scenario
