The Arbiter is ever silent and recently went dormant for some unknown reason…
I guess we now have an idea on why the Machine of Death is called the Machine of Death…

The Arbiter is said by her minions to see every truth which is very similar to the statements of N’Zoth and the Void in general… She also has an Orb in her chest that reminds one of the Darkened Naaru…
The Arbiter is likely a machine designed to do the job of the Jailer once he went mad from looking at every truth every truth that Darkened Naaru Core that once was in his chest gave him.
The Arbiter being programmed to be impartial and not go on an omnicidal rampage pretty much just sorted Souls according to what it saw in the Darkened Naaru’s visions.
The Arbiter is broken down and dormant due to either a glitch due to conflicting data or due to not having enough fuel.
Anyone else suspecting that the death of the Jailer would cause the Souls to move towards the thing with the biggest draw on Souls? But what has the biggest draw on…oh yes… the Darkened Naaru…
Darkened Naaru have a connection to the Void Lords and when Alleria who absorbed a Darkened Naaru went to Azeroth it affixed itself entirely to N’Zoth until he died upon which it went back to connecting to the Void Entities in general.
What Void Entity within the Void would a Darkened Naaru consuming tons of Souls and Death affix itself to? The Old God of Death Yogg-Saron naturally! His return to the Void upon death makes it easy for him to latch onto the Darkened Naaru in the Shadowlands and manifest himself.
In hindsight the guys running the Shadowlands should start moving the next Darkened Naaru Core out of the Shadowlands whenever the Arbiter breaks down… Or better yet get an Ata’mal Crystal from an AU and use it as the Arbiter’s Core.
The Ata’mal Crystal sees infinite Timelines like Darkened Naaru(and has a bigger picture than the Darkened Naaru and the Light Naaru) and unlike them doesn’t suck up Souls!
"I’m appalled that the Arbiters would send a soul that was changed by necromancy to the Maw. Imagine a soul destined for a pleasant after life being snatched up from the ground to have it then twisted by necromancy and then sentenced to the Maw for all the evil things they did as a twisted version of themselves.
I’m slavering at the thought of taking them out one way of the other lol"
Yes I’m still slavering.
Sylvanas committing crimes while Undead practically confirmed the Void’s particular vision of her aiding the Jailer’s plans to end all things(rather than the visions of her being a good guy) with the Arbiter ignorant of the fact that sending her to the Maw ended up ensuring the vision happened!
The Void Naaru unlike the Ata’mal Crystal are not to be trusted to give an objective point of view. The Void Lords and Old Gods are not neutral unlike Voidspawn cut off from their influence!
As for what glitch caused the dormancy: Probably a person committed Heinous Crimes or Good Deeds that went against everything the Void Naaru’s visions had shown the Arbiter causing a malfunction.

You’re right, and its inability to judge an untainted/non-violated/untwisted soul doesn’t bode well with me. Someone must pay, and I can’t wait for my guild to go in guns blazing lol.
I’m gonna rp these raids so hard. Gonna be like Oprah, “You’re free, You’re free, You get a just afterlife, you get a just afterlife”
The Arbiter’s boss need to schedule more training for them. - me back in Nov
Arbiter’s creators are probably residents of the Shadowlands who didn’t realize their plan to replace the insane Jailer would backfire since they didn’t realize that a Darkened Naaru Core would be that biased towards the Void…
To get the full view of a Soul’s nature the Arbiter needs the Vision of Time(used by the Bronzes to view the past), the Eye of Aman’Thul, an Ata’mal Crystal, a chunk of Azerite and the Light & Void Crystals we put inside the Vindicaar along with a sharp reminder of the first lesson of Time: “There is only this moment.”
All of this is needed to get the Arbiter to not shove Souls into the wrong place as well as not glitch up!
The dormancy is probably some spell Sylvanas and/or the Jailer put on her. I think if it was the anima drought causing it that would be her servants’ first thought, but it says they don’t know why she’s not waking up.
I am curious why the Arbiter has gone KO as well. There must be some exploit in the systems of the Shadowlands itself which allowed them to somehow er… push the Arbiter’s power button. The Arbiter was the Jailer’s greatest hurtle: With her unconscious there is no one to contest him for control of the soul stream.
That sort of knowledge is one of the reasons I ponder if the Jailer is himself one of the surviving Progenitors aka “First Ones” which seem to of built the machinery of the Shadowlands.
