Arkat gets a bad rep from the Brithini because he caused trouble within their social order and then abandoned their ways.

Arkat gets a bad rep from the Seshnegi because they gave so much to support him in his crusade yet he deserts to the Orlanthi. After many Malkioni still supported him in his last battles, he sets up the Dark Empire of Stygia to menace true Malkioni everywhere.

Arkat gets a bad rep from the Borists because he and his successors persecuted them.

Arkat gets a bad rep from the Heortlings because they fought for him because he promised liberation but left them in servitude to the Trolls.

Arkat gets a bad rep from the Pelorians because he exterminated Nysalor and brought a Empire of Peace and Plenty to an end.

Arkat gets a bad rep from everybody (except Safelster and the Uz) because Gbaji told so many lies about him.
