Overseers: The Roblox Group That Never Was

What, or who, exactly, are the Overseers? You've definitely seen them on the Roblox catalog before - from the classic Overseer package, to the Dominus Praefectus, to the Overseer Oversleeper Terrible Teddy, their powerful-looking black and green eyes are instantly recognizable to nearly every Robloxian. But have you ever stopped to think about their origins and lore? Where did they come from, why are they so popular, and why are they so into eyeballs? As it turns out, depending on who you ask, the answer is far more complicated than one would expect. Today, let's dive into the complex and mysterious history and lore of the Roblox Overseers.

If you're a fan of Overseers, Roblox, Builderman, Classic Roblox, Old Roblox, 2012, 2006, Telamon, Shedletsky, Clockwork, Lore, Lore Groups, Korblox, Redcliff, Knights of the Splintered Skies, Wizards of the Astral Isles, Green, History, Roblox History, Nitrolord, Eyeballs, Eyes, Robloxia, Avatars, Catalog, Accessories, Limiteds, Loreverse, Studs, Building, Playing, Video Essays, Forums, Archives, Froast's Forum Archive, Tix, Robux, Noobs, Guests, Epic Duck, Dominus Praefectus, Oversleeper, Deathspeaker, Headless Horseman, UGC, Valkyries, Undersmellers, or Rolimon's, you'll probably like this video! Not sure why you read this whole sentence though as it's just for SEO purposes :)

I love how everything about the overseer society is so serious and then there’s just ninjanick3

The Roblox clans lore goes hard, always thought it'd make a nice movie or show.

The overseers were my favorite medieval faction honestly. They immediately took my heart because of how cool they looked compared to the rest, you nailed the reason I liked it. I always thought overseers existed to keep peace between the factions and were as you said, superior to the rest.

This is why I love old roblox. They were much more connected to the community which allowed them to make lore for packages and items on the catalog

[fablefluff]

It is rather interesting to see a video about the Overseers considering they never had any actual lore or group, from what I know and have heard they were only intended by Roblox as a item and toy brand. Though how the Roblox community have managed to create groups and lore about it amazes and mesmerises me. It would be great to see videos about the space lore.

4:07 Bro i literally predicted your "Or is there?" and i fricking love it

[Nyrites]

This is the only guy that actually makes good Roblox documentaries. Thanks for the great video!

[MarinMemory]

I've never taken a look if the Overseers have any lore behind them. I always thought they were the most rich group when it comes to their lore. They seemed the most attractive out of all the clans. Thank you for making this video, really appreciate it!

[Bohowahr]

Nitro is the type of guy who would make very niche roblox documentaries, and also documentaries about items nobody knows about but still make it interesting to listen to.

[rivercliff_]

I only found this bc of Phighting! and i just.... I never would have thought that Roblox had ACTUAL lore in the past, ive never even heard of these groups before! But its all so interesting :000

[Water.Foul]

It would be much more interesting if instead of "The Undersmellers" being the Overseers worst enemy, the samurai everyone forgot about from way back could be the ones who killed the first Overseer empire.

For a clan loving of chaos, they're oddly organized

How far your editing has come since that first lore video is truly insane, keep up the genuinely amazing work

le lore:

Long, long ago, before anyone could remember, in the darkness of the void an ancient god rose, Irakanahn. He soon grew tired of his loneliness in the void and soon became a traveler, searching for a place that could sustain life. And he soon found it: The Mortal Plane. It was home to other gods, so it was here that he decided to create a home. And so at Irakanahn’s will he created, from the dirt, the first member of the Overseer Order, Niinjanik. The god would go on to create many more Overseers, but Niinjanik, being the oldest and most powerful laid claim as ruler, the “Omnes Videntes”, or “all-seeing”, the first Overseer King. He Created an empire, to carry out their God’s will, establishing themselves as an unstoppable force in the Mortal Plane. And for a long time, they were viewed as such by the other empires in the mortal plane. Anyone who attempted to stop them would be slain and sacrificed. They reined supreme among all with their towering black spire that spoke fear into the hearts of their enemies, even the Korblox Empire, of the most powerful of mages, and one of the most ancient kingdoms, bent to their will. Irakanahn even attached himself to the Overseer Empire, to feel the great pleasure they felt as a thriving empire with victory after victory, however, he would soon come to regret this as a fatal mistake. On a fateful, by surprise, a large force of troops from an unknown empire attacked the Overseer Fortress, and somehow despite how powerful the Overseers were, defeated them. They laid waste to their territory, and slaughtered them all, except for a spare few who escaped. But with the death of the empire, came the death of Irakanahn himself, the great god had fallen. The survivors, traveled far and wide searching for a new home, until eventually they found a large cavern of dark stone, and it was here that they first established the Realm Of The Overseer, Or as known today “The Darkening Expanse”. The greatest mages of the remaining Overseer gathered what was left of Irakanahn’s essence and crafted it into the Irakanahn Eye, which keeps watch over the Expanse, defending it from any attacks to this day. It is from this eye, that the many eyes that adorn many Overseer armors, weapons, and materials, are created. Many Overseer kings have come and gone after Omnes Videntes disappeared in the sneak attack. The strongest remaining survivor Daukaltra, was the first king after the attack. He was successful at whipping the empire back into shape, and in exchange for ultimate power, he granted kingship to H’uktuat, who was extremely magically adept but proved to be a cruel and sadistic dictator, even by the Overseer standards. He was eventually overthrown in a coup led by Momaaz where he defeated the dictator in one-on-one combat. To keep such a terrible rule of the kingdom from happening again, he would assemble a council of the most powerful and intellectual leaders of his kingdom at that time. Fiskkefa, Daukaltra, and the eccentric Lord Khallig Shakkar, to act as a council of advisors for him, the very first Eyes Of The Order. More kings rose and fell, as did the Eyes Of The Orders, the empire flourished, but soon its growth stagnated, and the people grew reckless. But it would all change when one day Omnes Videntes the II appeared and took the throne. He was no doubt the most powerful king since Omnes Videntes I, But at one point he had gone by the name of Zarkonan Zenhart, to most powerful of the Korblox Mages, said to be able to take out 300 soldiers with a flick of his hand, but however long ago during an Overseer siege on the Korblox Empire, Omenes Videntes the I had used his godly powers to transfer Zarkonans soul into a Overseer body, resulting in perhaps one of the most magically strong beings ever. He eventually grew strong enough to become king, the Eyes Of The Order were so impressed with him that they gave him the highest honor an Overseer king could receive, the title of Omnes Videntes the II, hence the great king was reborn. And with the help of the most prominent and elder Eye Of The Order, Lord Khallig Shakkar they expanded the Darkening Expanse beyond the cavern, and eventually with the help of the greatest mages they could muster, created a new plane of existence which exists parallel to the Mortal Plane, but is devoid of light, and can only be seen by those using the Eyes Of Irakanahn. It held the most intense training environment in all the lands, but it birthed the strongest of the soldiers, those who failed died, one could no be merely strong to succeed in the empire, the training area is known only as Agony. Under the rule of Omnes Videntes the II a wholly new hierarchy system was created. Members of the empire first start out as Minions, who were enemy soldiers who the empire saw too much potential in to let them die. Their souls were transfered into Overseer body, hewn from the dirt, where they then worked intense manual labor along with intense combat training. The name of Irakanahn is not spoken among the mortal plane, where it is told that those who speak it will have their soul put in Overseer bodies to forever work in the Darkening Expanse. Life as a Minion is excruciating work, and few survive it, but those who do will become stronger, and they move up to the rank of Adept. Few Adepts survive the even more intense and advanced training to become Soldiers, and few Soldiers complete the even more advanced training to become Knights, and few Knights can survive the pure carnage that is needed to become a Zealot, and few Zealots survive the mental strain to hold the magic that is needed to become a Doom Whisperer, and the few that survive the Doom Whisperer’s, those who have honed their physical, mental, and magical strength to the absolute max, can become part of the most feared and lethal strikeforce of the Overseer Empire, the Executioners. Therefore all aspects of the Overseer fighting force are comprised of nothing but the absolute best. It is only of the most slim possibilities that after years and years, of hard work, intense training, and miraculous feats in battle, that one may be promoted to that of a Major General in their aspect of the Overseer fighting force, and it takes even more to reach the level of General, and once one has shown their strength as a general they may choose to use their built up strength in the mystical arts and become one of the few prophets, the most magically adept of the empire. Or they may choose to use their battle strength to become a Warlord, the terribly feared leaders of the armies. And perhaps finally if they are very dedicated, they will keep working as a general in the hopes to become the most coveted rank, an Eye Of The Order. But, if one does not find these options suitable, as a Knigh one may choose to specialize on of their skills, and perhaps become a Shadow Of The Eye, a secretive group of elite assassins that the empire dispatches into enemy territory to take out especially troublesome enemy foes or leaders. Or perhaps one will become an Aegis Of The Eye, a royal guard used to protect the high ranking officials of the empire. And finally the most important of the three, The Ministry Of Inquisition, these people are responsible for political governance, record keeping, and teaching, generally something more related to the analytical and political side of the Empire, it is so exclusive that it cannot be applied for, if one has they necessary skills, they will be contacted. There can only be five Inquisitors at a time with one High Inquisitor and one Grand Inquisitor, which is perhaps the rarest position in the empire, and is currently held by Lord Khallig. The base of the Inquisitors, which is where all knowledge is kept, is a mysterious place called The Spire which is in its own pocket dimension, should the Ministry fall, the empire would fall. Although they are more powerful than the four other clans combined, there main goal is to bring Irakanahn back from the void, which would plunge the universe into chaos, and the Overseers would rule, once and for all. Omnes Videntes the II has gone undercover, building trust with the four empires, and sowing discord and seeds of chaos, all the while in his steed Lord Khallig rules. He is a very distant ruler and does not make public appearances often. No one knows what is going on with the high ranking officials in the empire at the moment, but what we do know, is that with their many seing eyes, they are watching the Mortal Plane, waiting, for there god to rise.

One day Irakanahn will rule

“so, the overseers have no lore”
*proceeds to make a video almost as long as the video covering the 4 main clans*

[bloxycola]

Meeboids need a faction like this this! They have two hats though the classic Meeboid head says " Meeboids are a peace-loving race, however, since they look so sinister they are hunted throughout the galaxy. " and the Murderous Meeboid says "This sinister creature isn’t interested in baking cookies and singing songs." This means the Meeboids are most likely a friendly faction. There enemy could be the orinthians because there in space and that is kind of it.

Thank you Nitrolord, for introducing I and so many more people to the Knights of the Splintered Skies and the rest of the Loreverse. If I ask people where they discovered the Loreverse, 9/10 people would say from you, keep up the good work, love your videos.

[volnartheunforgiving]

The overseers are so weird and badass and I can kinda vibe with their love of chaos, my avatar doesn't have room for any over the top knight accessories but I still wear the overseer lapel pin

[xb-fcmr]

I really enjoy these lore videos, and im glad you made another one!!! Great video!

What's sad is that the undersmeller group is owned by a bot
