The Court of Blade and Mantle is the combined Court of the two unaligned (with aetherial, infernal, or celestial courts) Courts. They are divided into categories based on the energies they represent. They were once under the sway of a Divine called the Arbiter, but this Divine (in multiple iterations) was slain before Third Shem and did not return. The ancient Divine Law written by this Divine exists only now in fragments and has no sway over anyone unless invoked. After the dawning of Third Shem, Mother Shem bid these Divines maintain their spheres with care and diligence.

Theirs is a complex, political court of shifting alliances and allegiances. They are more removed from mortal affairs than their aligned brethren, and they sometimes ally with one of the other three major courts if it suits them (or their domain). As they have no cohesive Court culture, their main aspects are those of the most common or first mortal culture that they interacted with:
