Children of the Watchers

The Children of the Watchers, also known simply as the Children are a religious following that worships the Slender Man as the offspring of a fallen angel named Samyaza.

Beliefs
A majority of the Children’s beliefs come from the Book of Enoch section called The Book of the Watchers, which describes the fall of the Watchers, a group of fallen angels.

The Watchers were infamous for mating with human women to create a hybrid offspring the Nephilim - a race of fearsome, man-eating giants.The Nephilim took to terrorising the other creatures of the Earth, foremost amongst them humanity, this behaviour was unacceptable to God.

It was this forbidden union of human and angel that promoted God to send forth the Great Biblical Flood to rid the world of the abominations before they could do more harm to His creation and banished the Watchers to reside within the valleys of the earth until Judgement Day as punishment for their treachery.

The Children named their society after the Watchers as they seek to learn the forbidden knowledge that the Watchers brung to the people of Earth.

The Children greatly fear the individual known as Der Ritter (The Knight) and his weapon which was said to to be able to destroy The Tall Man, which is the subject of the Children’s religion and believed to be the sole remaining member of the Nephilim, specifically the offspring of the powerful fallen angel Samyaza.

They say that The Tall Man not only survived the Great Flood, but evolved into something even stronger. It is their belief that their destiny is to be chosen by the The Tall Man to either transcend to the spirit world or to serve him for eternity.
