[[Nourys, the Eyes of the Abyss]] is a powerful [[Kryptis]] leading the [[The Defense of Amnytas|assault]] on [[Amnytas]]. It is the parent of several [[Adolescent Abyssal Watcher]]s nursed in [[the Royal Hatchery]].

== Biography ==
=== Early years ===
At some point, Midnight King [[Eparch]] gained Nourys as his prized pet as he began preparing [[Nayos]] and the [[Kryptis]] army for the takeover of [[Tyria (world)|Tyria]].<ref name="Nyedra">[[Nyedra, Dreamer's Sanctum#Ambient dialogue|Nyedra, Dreamer's Sanctum ambient dialogue]]</ref> It is unclear if Nourys began serving Eparch as an adult or if it was raised for the specific purpose. Nourys eventually birthed children, [[Adolescent Abyssal Watcher]]s, which Eparch's trusted lieutenant [[Charybda the Cunning]] would nurse in [[the Royal Hatchery]] located deep in the [[Citadel of Zakiros]].

=== [[Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure|Secrets of the Obscure]] ===
==== Act 3 ====
As the Kryptis continued pushing into the [[Astral Ward]] base of [[Amnytas]] and the rest of Tyria during a massive invasion in 1336 <small>[[Mouvelian calendar|AE]]</small>, Nourys observed events through various [[Mists Rift (Kryptis)|rifts]] across the [[Horn of Maguuma]] with its eyes while its tentacles continued coming out of multiple rifts to distract the Ward defenders. The beast itself finally pushed through from a massive rift that opened up at [[the World Spire]], intending to crush the construct and thus allow the Kryptis to come through en masse.

The Ward, headed by the [[Wizard's Court|wizards]] [[Dagda]] and [[Lyhr]], organized the defense of the World Spire by battling Nourys's tentacles and closing rifts throughout Amnytas while summoning various mystic guardians. Once the summoning was complete, the wizards, their disciples, and the [[Pact Commander]] took the battle atop the World Spire where they combined the guardians into the tall [[Guardian of the Sacred]] with which to oppose Nourys as they enacted Operation Mosaic Wrath. After a grueling [[Defeat Nourys, the Eyes of the Abyss|battle]], they managed to prevent Nourys's tentacles from tearing the spire apart, blinded the beast, and banished it back to Nayos.

==== [[Through the Veil (release)|Through the Veil]] ====
A few months later, [[Peitha]], Eparch's niece who opposed the Midnight King's rule, guided the Commander into [[Inner Nayos]] where they rallied stranded Astral Ward scouts led by [[Arina]] and Peitha's fellow rebels commanded by [[Ramses]] to establish a foothold in the region. Peitha [[Duress|confirmed]] that Nourys, despite having been weakened since the Amnytas invasion, was still alive and consuming the [[magic]]al essence of Nayos in an effort to recover. Due to the malignant fog surrounding the heartlands of Inner Nayos, Peitha's rebels were able to operate on the outskirts without neither Eparch nor Nourys spotting them.<ref>[[Duress]]
:'''Peitha:''' We've been pushed to the outer reaches of Nayos, into Nourys's path.
:'''Isgarren:''' The beast that attacked the spire?
:'''Peitha:''' It's weaker now, thanks to your efforts, but it has risen the stakes. It consumes.
:'''Peitha:''' We've a small outpost right on the edge of the abyss. Nourys nor Eparch have been able to see it through the fog.</ref>

==== [[The Realm of Dreams]] ====
Peitha's forces triumphed against their opposition and advanced deeper into Nayos in 1337 <small>AE</small>. Astral Ward scouts were able to overhear Kryptis loyalists discussing Nourys's state. The beast howled out in the fog, thrashing its limbs about, and it was not expected to enter the front lines in person anytime soon.<ref name="Nyedra" /> Nourys's tentacles continued appearing across Nayos, harassing Kryptis rebels and trying to drain magic from the environment to feed the magic into Eparch's corrupting extractors.<ref>[[Protect Eppie from the tendrils of Nourys]]</ref><ref>[[Protect Koris from the tendrils of Nourys]]</ref><ref>[[Find and destroy the tendrils of Nourys]]</ref><ref>[[Find and destroy the tendrils of Nourys (Defiled Cradle)]]</ref>

Although the rebel and Ward forces led by [[Warden of the Wizard's Court|Warden]] [[Frode]] and [[Captain Emund|Major Emund]] were emboldened by the loyalists' worried rumors that Nourys would no longer hinder their advance, they had a rude awakening while [[Defeat Knaebelag the Terror|battling]] Eparch's other notable pet, the [[wyvern]] [[Knaebelag the Terror]], in the [[Coliseum of the Midnight King]] when Nourys's eye suddenly appeared from a rift to shield Knaebelag. With great effort, they were able to wound the eye and slay Knaebelag, once again banishing Nourys into the abyss.

==== [[The Midnight King]] ====
As the battle continued in the following months, Peitha's forces finally made headway into the Citadel of Zakiros itself where Eparch lay in wait. The strike team split up in two as they attacked both of Zakiros's main spires at the same time. The team entering the [[Spire of Creation]] led by Frode eventually [[Siege the hatchery and destroy the abyssal watchers|entered]] the Royal Hatchery where they encountered and slew the abyssal watcher spawn to prevent any more such beasts from maturing. They eventually [[Defeat Charybda the Cunning|confronted]] Charybda the Cunning herself who confirmed that the watchers had indeed been Nourys's children, while she threatened to raise more of them to consume Tyria. However, the Kryptis lieutenant was ultimately slain as well, soon followed by Eparch, as Peitha took the Midnight Throne for herself as the Kryptis civil war and the invasion of Tyria ended at last.
