Arbiter (AR-bit-ur) is the god of absolute law and order, and the deliverer of divine justice. He always appears as a large and regal man with black hair, mustache and goatee, garbed in long black and red robes decorated in lawful runes, and a holy symbol depicting a gavel and scales of justice on a heavy chain around his neck. Beneath his robes he wears a suit of black +5 heavy fortification vigilant mithral breastplate armor scribed with lawful runes of power.
In battle, Arbiter wields a two-headed +5 axiomatic shocking burst throwing thundering warhammer, and a +5 animated arrow deflection heavy steel shield with his symbol embossed upon it.
A stern and ill-humored figure of power, Arbiter is one of the three greater gods who govern over the others. He brings balance to the world and often functions as an arbitrator between the other deities when arguments erupt. To him, laws must be obeyed without question, for they are designed to establish order and discipline. His worshipers often embrace roles inherent to judgment courts and dispensers of justice, such as judges, constables, even investigators and inquisitors. Clerics and Inquisitors of Arbiter tend to be very strict in their devotion and constantly contend against the forces of chaos in their attempt to bring order to the world.
