Editing Arbiter (section)

== Political Importance ==

Because arbiter attunements are only given to those who have already performed a task for a visage, they are often selected by the visages to perform additional diplomatic tasks. Due to the possibility of this, they are granted certain liberties not granted to others. These include the ability to use information gathering spells in the [[soaring spires|spires]]. Additionally, [[spire elementals]] are bound to assist them, although summoned copies cannot directly disobey their summoner's orders<ref name=aa2-2 />.

Most arbiters are considered to be an arbiter of the visage who granted them the attunement, and while they work with all visages, they typically work with the one who granted their mark. Each visage typically has only one or two known arbiters.
