The Arbiter is an ancient, mysterious being who dwells in the Crucible in the city of Oribos and judges all the mortal souls that enter the Shadowlands. Her existence predates all memoryāeven older than the titans, according to some accounts. When a soul is brought before the Arbiter, all of its contentsādeeds, misdeeds, thoughts, accomplishments, and failuresāare instantly laid bare, absorbed, and understood by her. The Arbiter then sends the soul off to one of the infinite realms of the Shadowlands, determined by the soul's character.[1][2] The souls travel to the various realms through gateways in the Arbiter's chamber.[3] If the Arbiter didn't exist to set mortal souls on their intended path, they would be lost forever within the infinite realms.[4] The Arbiter and Oribos are tended to by a race of beings known as Attendants. From among the circle of Attendants known as Scholars, an Honored Voice is selected to speak on behalf of the ever-silent Arbiter.[5]
For reasons no one can explain, the Arbiter has recently gone dormant and is no longer directing souls to their just afterlives. Instead, all souls now flow past her to hurtle directly into the Maw. The Attendants have tried to unravel this mystery, but with little success.[5]

The Arbiter could be the person who helped Vol'jin as he was said to have been saved and "touched by the hand of valor".[6]
The Arbiter looks notably more artificial than the other Eternal Ones, and has an orb-shaped device in her chest, roughly in the same location where the Jailer has a hole in his chest. This has led some fans to theorize that the Arbiter is actually a construct created to replace the Jailer.[7]
