I was doing my own mission with Dromed when - while looking the zip-files - I noticed unused wavs for the Eye. After starting "Return to the Cathedral" from the start I didn't locate these conversations. The topics were about Murus and how he had fought against the Eye's will all these years, the Eye's own introduction and how it had been trapped inside the Cathedral, one asking how Garrett is gonna reach to steal it and one for the Constantine's ritual ("Master! Something's amiss. Master!" or alike). Does anybody know the reason for the Eye to excist or something? There was an interesting topic about the Hammer haunts ((

More finns? Getting overpopulated.
Well, unless you've played Thief 3 to the end don't read on.
[SPOILER]For one, there are a lieu of fan-speculations going around in Keeper Theses and elsewhere in the Circle. Someone is coming to point you out to the links, I'm sure.
Other than that, well, as we learned out in T3 's end, keepers remanipulated/created the Eye to activate the Failsafe, if the glyphs get out of control (remember Trickster wanted it too). Along with it were enchanted the Hammer-chalice and the Jacknall's paw (not the Trickster's, as this is supposed to be old encanting; refer to the books in Gamall's lair, and you'll see one of the First Keepers who actually made the Failsafe.)
That's all the references though there. Gamall's lair, the Eye's chatterings, the cutscenes after the Cradle and T1 after the eye is stolen -part.[/SPOILER]
Hope that helps.

I'm curious about transcriptions of all Eye's monologues to Garrett from T3, they're hard to understand. Are they available somewhere?

There's no doubt the Eye were used to open a portal to reality other than the Maw. This is because:
1. Trickster summoned his beasts INTO Maw and Garrett had to shut that
portal. A hole between realities, but too small for Constantine's agendas?
2. Hammerites sent Garrett into the Maw. Also, in T2 Pagans had an easy
entry there. I'll bet the Trickster didn't have problems, either.
(BTW: did Constantine tear a hole in reality when he got the Eye? It
really seemed so.)
Well, that's nearly all I know about its purpose 'cause I've only played
TDP (not Gold) and T2 (that contained no information about it). Heck, I didn't even know what happened to it until I read from the forum that it was used in DS.

On a side note, it's not certain whether the Pagan realm in Trail of Blood really is the Maw or not. G. also acknowledges that "it looks different".
