Arbiters of Xith

The Arbiters of Xith (also known as Galdon's Elite) is the most well-known and accomplished witch hunting guild in Valoria. They are an offshoot of Galdon's Academy of Magical Study and Arts of the Arcane, but unlike their parent organization, they specialize in hunting down and eliminating those who use illegal magics, as well as creatures who wield magical abilities.

They are recognizable by the blue and white colors they wear, as well as their lanterns, which they use to hunt. The lanterns are constructed by the hunters themselves as their final trial, and have an indoctrinated wisp housed inside the glass, which turns to a pile of ash when not in use.

The Arbiters were created soon after the establishment of Galdon's Academy, but did not go into widespread use until after the Hierophant's Accord, after a human hierophant (and secret mage) led a group of faithful followers to his private estate, where he butchered them and used their life to fuel terrible magics. A handful of Arbiters stopped him, and Empress Rogga herself established the Accord, which promises that Galdon's Academy will always be supplied with ample recruits. Criminals awaiting judgement who possess magical talent can be sent to one of the Galdon's Academy campuses to be reformed and become Arbiters.

Their emblem is a triangle hosted within a circle, with smaller circles pressing against each side of the triangle.
