The Arbiter's Hierarchy is the hierarchy He has imposed on the Divine Courts. The rankings here are based on the political weight He gives each entity, not necessarily the power of that entity--though there is some overlap.

The main focus of the Hierarchy is the Parliament. Anything ranked above (and not including) a Witness is a member of the Divine Parliament, and therefore allowed to vote on Divine Law.
