Sundered Eyes
The Sundered Eye, more commonly known in ancient records as a Beholder, is a rare and aberrant creature believed to be birthed from the chaos of the Sundering. These unnatural beings are immediately recognizable by their hovering, spherical bodies, crowned with writhing eyestalks and anchored by a single massive central eye. Their flesh ranges from sickly purples to mottled greys, and their mouths are filled with jagged, asymmetrical teeth—though it is their gaze, not their bite, that spells doom for those who cross them.
Rare and deeply feared, Sundered Eyes are not simply magical beasts—they are intelligent, paranoid, and obsessive, capable of reshaping entire regions into reflections of their deranged genius.

Basic Information
Behaviour
Sundered Eyes are solitary, intensely territorial entities. Their minds are warped by obsessive ideation—some fixate on symmetry, others on mathematical perfection, magical theory, or even philosophical paradox. Each considers itself a flawless creation, and any creature not of its design is seen as a threat, an impostor, or a tool to be used and discarded.
Despite their madness, they are highly intelligent, capable of elaborate planning, deception, and manipulation. They often speak, not out of necessity, but to assert dominance, confuse foes, or gloat over their own superiority.
They rarely form societies, nor do they tolerate rivals. When two Sundered Eyes meet, conflict is inevitable.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities
The body of a Sundered Eye is a living conduit of volatile Aether. Their power centers around the Auranth Aether, allowing for levitation, telekinetic control, and violent force manipulation. Many also exhibit corrupted traces of Ignia, unleashing disintegration beams or explosive bursts. The rarest among them possess eye-rays that interact with Animyss, disrupting the spirit, inducing terror, or suppressing will.
Each eyestalk is capable of emitting a unique arcane ray, while the central eye radiates a field that suppresses magic, disrupting nearby spellcasting and nullifying Aetheric effects.
These abilities make them terrifying opponents not only for spellcasters, but for any being that relies on enchantment or magical protection.
