Watcher

&nbsp The Watcher is the identity assumed by the player in The Sims Medieval. It is stated in the game's opening trailer that The Watcher once looked after a previous civilization that went extinct due to the stupidity of its people. Starting anew, The Watcher resolved to not simple watch his/her followers, but guide them in the proper direction. To do this, The Watcher would use exceptional men and women (Hero Sims) whome everyone was sure to follow.

In game, The Watcher acts as the primary diety worshiped by all Sims. There are two different churches in the game, and each has it's own opinion about The Watcher. The Peteran church belives that The Watcher is a loving and forgiving god, while the Jacoban church belives that The Watcher is a vengeful and merciless god.
