Arbiters

The Arbiters are a high density guild of soldiers originally from Central Eldrin. They are enemies to the Vanguards and, during the third game, attempt to overcome the whole of Shadowsong to remove all belief in Aliquism, as the predominant religion of the Arbiters is Monotropism. As the Vanguards are strong Aliquites, it is mainly the Arbiters goal to eliminate the Vanguards. The Arbiters hold dominance in Central Eldrin, Bluehaven, Wolfbane, Northern Eldrin and Western Eldrin at the start of the third game.

as the third game progresses, Stonehelm and half of Dragonshore falls to the Arbiters, and as the game progresses, Dragonsohre and Stonehelm are won back by the Vanguards, and eventually the Arbiters in every region of Shadowson are defeated.

During its reign, the Arbiters were governed by a single "chieftain", who during most of the third game, was a man named Ven, who died roughly half way through and was succeeded by Aldon.
