Lioneye's Watch Ambience & Music - Path of Exile

During the Purity Rebellion, Marceus Lioneye defended the fort against the Karui army of King Kaom, but was defeated. Nearly three hundred years later, a group of exiles have settled the ruined town.

Marceus Lioneye was a general of the Eternal Empire, and the leader of the Gemling Legion. A proud but skilled archer, he was best recognized for the virtue gem embedded in one of his eyes. During the Purity Rebellion, Lioneye was tasked with driving away Kaom's invading forces. His forces were at a great advantage, as the Karui warrior tradition forbade men from fighting with projectile weapons. However, Kaom realized that the tradition didn't apply to women, and so ordered his niece Hyrri to ambush Lioneye's forces with her band of female Karui archers as they left their fortifications to rout Kaom. Following his last stand and defeat at Lioneye's Watch, Kaom honored Lioneye's efforts by wearing his severed head on his belt.
