Born of the Sands

Arbiters are created, not born, through the sands of the earth and the magic of their creators. Sculpted by arcane arts, they are typically beautiful in appearance, and typically take on features like that of their creator- some appear human, others like elves, and so on. Their skin tones are typically sandy or earthen colors, and their hairs dark like soil or red like stone. Their eyes are their most striking feature- always a supernatural gold color.
