An Arrow is a warrior first, but this isn't as narrow a calling as many suspect. For every frontline fighter who rends the horrors of the Abyss with bare hands and soul, there's a strategist who sees and manipulates the secret patterns of the world. Economic, ecological, and esoteric conflicts are studied, mastered, and beaten into any shape the Arrow desires. Mages see reality as a many-layered thing, full of signs and movements invisible to the uninitiated. The Awakened art of war follows these pattern using a thousand techniques.
...
Only righteous service gives an Arrow's life meaning. After the Fall, the order defended other mages from the new dangers of the Fallen World and swore oaths of loyalty. Today, this is still the Adamantine Arrow's primary role. Their mages defend sanctums and cabals as long as they are legitimate heirs to Atlantis. Some Arrows purportedly guard evil things that cannot (or because of some cruel fate, must not) be banished from the world.

Uhhh... Let's see.
Silver Ladder - Ace/One of Swords (http://goldentarot.com/miswac.htm). Other options: face cards (not Major Arcana), likely the King of either Wands or Swords (at a guess, swords http://goldentarot.com/miswki.htm).
Mysterium - Eight of Cups would be my guess http://goldentarot.com/micu08.htm
Guardians of the Veil - Two of Swords http://goldentarot.com/misw02.htm
Free Council - Two or Eight of Coins (http://goldentarot.com/mico02.htm; http://goldentarot.com/mico08.htm)

Though, given the descriptions, I think you're dead on with the wands.
