Arbitros de Dios

Arbitros de Dios (eng. Arbiters of God) is one of the eight American universities for the Gifted. It has a rather dark past and is renowned for supposedly teaching blood magic to its students.

Location
Located in the heart of the Nevada Desert, Árbitros de Dios has a long history of Latin American influence on its magic. Some of the spells and traditions can even be traced back to Aztec origin, which of course started rumors of human sacrifice, though this has never been substantiated.

History
Árbitros de Dios was founded by the descendants of the Aztecs who had previously inhabited the area; rumor goes that a Spanish Conquistador with magical abilities convinced the local population that he was a god. He then exploited his status to convince the natives to build his school for him. Whether or not this is true, it is a fact that the school was established and running by the time the U.S government had any involvement.

Campus
The buildings are adobe brick, low to the ground. While the buildings are not interconnected, they tend to be grouped close together, with a few outliers far from the rest, where the most dangerous spells and potions are practiced.

Controversy
They are renowned for their potions and alchemy classes, due to the access to rare (and often dangerous) ingredients that the desert provides. There is unfortunately a rather large black market for potions and sinister magical items in the area around this school (some have attributed the development of Las Vegas to this dark magic), which gives the school a slightly worrisome reputation. However, one should not overlook the merits and academic credentials that it has maintained for many decades now.
