=== Arbiter's Gate ===

This gate is used exclusively by [[arbiter|arbiters]], and requires an activated petitioner's coin to be deposited into a slot beside the door before allowing entry<ref name="aa3-6">''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 6</ref>. Visually, it appears to be a mundane metal door with a rune-covered pedestal for inserting a petitioner's coin, rather than a more ornate gate, as with the other gates<ref name="aa3-16">''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 16</ref>.

Unlike other gates, this gate will not allow access to the traditional tower. Rather, it leads to a place where the arbiter can meet with the visage of that tower<ref name="aa3-6" />.

Sometimes the visage of the tower is not available, and will not allow access. In these cases, a petitioner's coin is returned to the arbiter to make another attempt at a later time. Note that this coin may not necessarily be the one that was used to request access<ref name="aa3-16" />.

==== Petitioner's Coin ====

A Petitioner's coin is a silvery disk inscribed with a carnelian-level arbiter's symbol on it<ref name="aa3-15">''The Torch that Ignites the Stars'' Chapter 15</ref>. These tokens can be activated by charging the rune with purified mana. Petitioner's Coins can be obtained by defeating a spire guardian on a floor divisible by 5<ref name="aa3-6" />.
