Arcadies Custodian of Order
Magister of the Adamant Arcane (a.k.a. Arcadin (Athila), Coral Sea-Urchin (Rainbow Archipelago), Arkara Senin of Laws (Rokehara) The Old Lawkeeper (Kanata) Ar’tchlyn (Tchzinitchya))
Among the five custodian dieties none are more dedicated to the maintance of cosmic order and universal laws then he. He dutififuly catalogs every natural law, process of energy or physics, mathmatical equation, species and event that occurs in the multiverse. He is judicator, supreme scientist and chronicler of the cosmos among the Custodians. Unlike his brother Trathar he does not seek knowledge for its own sake but as Arcadies feels all things should be properly labeled, indentified, understood and catagorized.
Where his sibblings are driven by ambition, whimsy or altruism Arcadies greatest drive is duty, he sees his role as a custodian as job that he was created to do and the Adamant Archmage approchs this duty with implacable determination. Unlike many other dieties of order he grudging accepts that Chaos is part the universal laws that govern the mechanics of the cosmos and while he may argue and challange his sister Mithilla they are far from enemies and understand they are simply two faccets of the larger whole. His relations with Trathar and Sindra vary as he can apreciate them at times but others he finds Trather's kindness blinds him to justice and Sindra's use of loopholes for selfish purpose leave him frustrated.
Scientists, Judges, Lawyers and spellcasters seeking to understand the laws that govern the cosmos all turn to Arcadies as well as those who seek peace through understanding the underpinning mechanics of the multiverse. Arcadies takes his mortal faithful and his role as their god as another duty and even though he needs no worshipers he fullfills the role and purpose of their deity more attentively then perhaps even Trathar.
Though he may be harsh he is always truthful, fair and analytical in his understanding of all things. Few of the custodians understand the fine tuned mechanism that is the multiverse nor how to operate it as well as the Adamant Archmage and should the machine he tends to be threated he stands as a terrible judge ready to strike down or imprison any entity or power that threatens this.
Arcadies appears as an imposing stern faced man with a body that is a fusion of flesh and percise machinery his hammer is named the Weight of Reason is said to have been forged from heart of a distant star out of a matterial so dense that even the mightiest of beings could not lift so much as a coin forged from it yet for he or anyone dedicated to the duty of upholding cosmic order the Weight of Reason is feather light.
Woe to those forces of chaos who seek to undo the cosmic order or dismantle the multiversal machine that is Arcadies duty to protect for his judgement is final and the Weight of Reason can batter and crush even cosmic forces of entropy into submission.

The few paladins who serve Arcadies see themselves as warrior judges serving the law and ensuring it does not become corrupted. They consider the following tenets as dire oaths.
1.Justice is nothing unless it is dealt by lawful means.
2.My word and my honour are the core of my soul to break one is to break the other.
3.I am obliged to follow all laws that are fair, correct all laws that are flawed and defeat all laws that are corrupt.
4.Those who embrace anarchy are forever my foes.
