A Peace Officer's Commitment
-
The Arbiters of Arabel are steadily expanding their influence, further instilling order in what was once a chaotic realm before the rebirth of House Goldfeather. Laws are enforced with a firm yet fair hand, much to the chagrin of the wealthy and corrupt who had previously savoured their greater freedoms under Gondegal's rule, a distant memory now. The recent rise of the Arbiters appears closely linked to the efforts of a Helmite Peace Officer, whose unwavering commitment to reporting even the most trivial offences is not well received by many. Nevertheless, she has successfully rallied numerous adventurers to aid her cause, encouraging them to report crimes rather than overlook wrongdoings.

Rumours are circulating in the downtrodden taverns of Arabel, stirring both unease and curiosity among the locals. It seems that the once brazen criminals and heretics now face a reckoning at the hands of the Arbiters. Reports indicate that these enforcers of law, cloaked in authority, have been conducting well planned operations resulting in swift justice. Some speculate a hidden network of informants, closely tied to the adventurers, aids this relentless pursuit.
Conversations brim with tales of the condemned, with some claiming the restless spirits of wrongdoers haunt the very places where their lives ended. “Be careful with your words,” warns a nervous innkeeper. “The Arbiters are always watching, and dissent is punished harshly.”
Yet, beyond the Arbiters’ vigilant eye lies a realm untouched by their purging light: the dark alleys and outskirts of the city. Here, shadows gather, emboldening those who offer heretical sacrifices under the cover of night, trading fear for the allure of forbidden power. As the Arbiters tighten their grip, these outlying fields become sanctuaries for the disillusioned. For every name claimed by their swift justice, two more rise from the city's darker corners, seeking guidance in the shadows.
Thus, while the Arbiters patrol the heart of Arabel, the hidden alleys and secret fields thrive with a life of their own, a simmering undercurrent of heretical intent that may one day challenge the very foundations of law and order they uphold. Those who navigate these shadowy spaces know they are beyond judgment, shielded in darkness, at least for now.
