> In all honesty, I first posted merely because I get ALOT of crap on the irc from people telling me I SHOULDN'T play Arbiters, when I actually enjoyed doing that. I enjoyed having a sense of responsibility and purpose in the game. As for when I was an Arbiter, I was around for the end up Istendil's reign and the beginning of Remath's group.. which, if you ask them, became a war between Empire and Arbiters. I saw Eriwal maybe once, Shaitar maybe once, and never saw Llorenthos Kah at all. So all in all, I grouped with Istendil. That's it.. as for being a lich's pet. Go back and read Istendil's story.. he describes our relationship pretty well. And again, ask Abernyte about how hard it was to re-equip. I had friends because I wasn't a dick, not because Imperials were in power and collecting every item. Check your dates, bud..

Io. Umguy is right on. There was very little Knight presence, and most of them
would vanish once Istendil would logon. Relative imperial/master power went a long
way in helping the arbiters. When I was an arbiter, there was no rager presence.
The warders had a couple of people login, but they were never a serious threat.
There were no Barons, and the ones that were there didn't have shit for powers. This
went a long way in helping you re-build the arbiter cabal which you did an awesome
job of. In fact, I'd consider you one of their better leaders ever. There were some
circumstances that allowed you to do the job you did. Could you do the same now? I
wouldn't mind seeing you pull it off. Tho' Zors might have something to say about
that.
