[MW Silksong] Arbiter of the Final Treaty - CR 15 Large Construct - $5 Reward (Patreon)

“Should no plane lay claim to your immortal spirit, then it must burn to bitter ash within the censer of balance. Each time I light the spark anew, I wonder what scent the next soul will produce.”

— Arbiter Janu

Watchers of the path between the Upper and Lower Planes, the arbiters judge all who walk it, be they living or dead. On the rare occasion multiple planes call to a wandering soul, an arbiter guides it to its final rest. Forged of both the infernal and the divine, they care only that the balance be maintained and that each soul swiftly finds its way to its place of eternal residence.

Living Contract. At the beginning of time, the angels and the devils fought viciously for every mortal soul. The heretical hero, the justified killer, the tyrant who saved millions by inflicting suffering on the few—each was a battle that tore through the cosmos. The conflict of ideals culminated in the Final Treaty of the Outer Planes. With divine power to burn away deceit and the cunning of devils to account for every edge case and loophole, both parties granted the treaty the power to adapt to the ceaseless flow of time… and from its pages rose the first arbiters, the living embodiments of this sacred agreement.

Soul Hunters. Arbiters rarely set foot on the Material Plane. The only reason one would deign to appear before the living is in pursuit of a soul who has violated the treaty and escaped their intended place of rest. Mortals who encounter an arbiter may find themselves enlisted in the hunt for a vagrant soul if the arbiter finds them useful. More often, they will be viewed as an obstacle and be pushed aside. Any who are judged to be harbouring the violating soul, whether they’re aware of it or not, are promptly eliminated.

The Unclaimed. Few and far between are souls who aren’t claimed by any Outer Plane. With no afterlife waiting for them, these souls are presented with a choice: they must either bind themselves to the Material Plane, existing as an undead entity in the hopes that a resting place will one day claim them, or else burn to nothing within the arbiter’s censer of souls.
