I firmly believe that Battle SHOULD war with Arbiters. Really. With higher priority than Empire, even.
If Masters are held in check, the village should turn its attention to Arbiters... why?
Here's why. You don't war upon cabals for having mage members. Common misconception. It's not hypocritical to not war on Sylvan and such, because this isn't the reason.
War with Masters: Duh. This doesn't need clarification.
War with Empire: Because Empire wars with Battle. That is the only distinction between Empire and, say, Sylvan, in the eyes of a hardcore Rager. Sylvan doesn' t take the head. Empire does.
Now, why war with Arbiters? NOT because they have mage members... thus, it's irrelevant if they have one or one hundred mage members... You war upon them because their philosophy entails protecting mages! Their stated purpose is to protect and grant shelter to the mages whom your beliefs dictate must be destroyed at all costs.
I proposed simple terms, stating that if the Arbiters declared magi exempt from the protection of the law, that hostilities would cease. It's a shame that the immortals would never let that fly... oh well. It would be a fun twist on things, if the Arbiter Lords had the power to make decisions like that. But IC, that didn't stop me from attacking the Hall.
