Assembly of Highguard | The proposed Cursing of the whole territory of Reikos is a barbaric practice, that is unacceptable because it would indiscriminately kill, not only Druj, but also our own fellow citizens of Highguard. | Lilian of the Unbound Chapter | Defeated 147 - 43 |
General Assembly | This Statement of Principle calls for the removal of the word Freedom from the Senate Building; Freedom is the false virtue of Anarchy, and is unvirtuous | Abraham of the Shattered Tower, Highguard | Defeated |

General Assembly | Each National Assembly should convene at least once every festival | Morgan Brokenbone, Navarr | Defeated 222 to 138 |
General Assembly | As the Empire has expanded in influence and Virtue, so too has the way in which we should recognise the Sign of Pilgrimage. Any journey with enough spiritual meaning can change the soul.

General Assembly | The Synod invites those Senators who wish to formally ally their works with those of the Imperial Priesthood to create a political band of Senators - The Bannerpeople of Virtue. | Rurik Von Linden | Defeated 456 to 111 |
