Statements of Principle
The Imperial Synod made the following Statements of Principle:
| Number | Assembly | Statement of Principle | Priest | Outcome |
| 8 | General | The religious law of Desecration currently outlaws the removal of any spontaneous auras - even malign ones such as Hope, Anarchy or Hatred. This has recently discouraged people from removing these fake auras. The Law should change so that it only protects auras of Virtue. | Ephron of Adina’s Charge | Upheld 741 - 0 |
| 9 | General | The Virtue to which the First Empress was dedicated remains an enduring mystery. The Synod has rejected that she was an Exemplar of Courage. In her life, we can see her exemplify all of the Seven Virtues and the Virtuous should look to her example whatever their chosen dedication. She created her Empire to allow her people to follow and uphold Ambition, Courage, Loyalty, Pride, Prosperity, Vigilance, and Wisdom. She placed none in prominence above the other. I call on the people of my Empire, the people of Highguard, and my followers in the chapter of Yael’s Revelation to dedicate themselves to the Virtue to which their soul cleaves most true. A life lived in pursuit of any of the 7 True Virtues will speed you through the Labyrinth, through the cycle of Reincarnation, and on to the transcendent destiny I have glimpsed beyond the Labyrinth. I go with liao to bring this message. | Yael | Upheld 692 - 50 |
| This judgement relates to the Conviction and The Courageous Priest winds of fortune events. | ||||
| 15 | General | The Empire has been attempting to convert orcs to the way. We believe a doctrine regarding the nature of orc souls should be added to the way. We support Bonewall Cole and Bonewall Rek in working to formulate a new Doctrine of the Howling Abyss. | Bonewall Cole | Upheld 543 - 159 |
| 16 | General | The Empire’s intent to see Imperial Orcs have a place in the Way of Virtue is Ambitious. The Priesthood of the Sumaah Republic’s intent to see orcs culled as beasts is lacking in Virtues many and founded in hatred and vengeance. Bringing The Way to those that have been oppressed and enslaved is Virtuous. The Sumaah’s failure to send a priestly delegation to meet the orc nation (at their request) is cowardly. | Dietrich Elias der Holburghan | Upheld 350 - 259 |
| 17 | League | With the assistance of Vittoria and Callista Barossa, in addition to Oberon of the Gilded Horn Carta, Leopold Von Holberg will perform consecrations and anointings to encourage the people of Sarvos to resistance against the Grendel through sabotage, non-compliance and direct action. All of the Virtues - Courage, Vigilance, Loyalty and Pride respectively represented will be employed. Blood spilled in the pursuit of Virtue is blood spilled well. | Leopold Von Holberg | Upheld 186 - 0 |
| This judgement relates to the The sack of Sarvos winds of fortune event. The Civil Service noted the support given by the statement “I Aria Notturno di Sarvos, Mayor of Caricomare support and encourage the citizenry of Sarvos to rise up against the Grendel. I have made the people of Sarvos and the Egregore aware of my position in this.” Judgement 52 was raised following the heroic death of Leopold Von Holberg. | ||||
| 21 | General | I, Jared of the Suns of Couros Chapter of Highguard in Reikos will travel the lands of the Empire to counsel the Faithful that the General Assembly of the Imperial Synod has rejected the First Empress as an Exemplar of Courage on grounds of insufficient evidence. She is now amongst us again and we must listen and learn from her again. | Jared | Upheld 542 - 10 |
| Cardinal Jared requested that the Civil Service clarify in public record that this statement is in support of Judgement 9 raised by Yael, not in opposition and Jared supports Yael's actions over the coming season. This judgement relates to the Conviction and The Courageous Priest winds of fortune events. | ||||
| 22 | General | The Cardinal of Pride and the Cardinal of the Way have broken centuries of Synod Tradition by selecting a Conscience and Gatekeeper from their own nation and this concentration of Synod power is dangerous so we ask the Conscience and Gatekeeper of Pride to take steps to remove themselves from their position. P.S. Get more priests from other nations. | Asher | Upheld 488 - 220 |
| 23 | Nine | Silas of the Suns of Couros would like the Silent Bell to investigate the theft of the Spear of Empress Teleri from her tomb in Necropolis two seasons ago. | Silas | Upheld 7 - 0 |
| 24 | Brass Coast | The National Assembly of The Brass Coast would recognise Houses Kalamar and Del Toro as well as the New Promise Cartel, the Krakenfire Armada, the Celesti, The Handful of Dust and The Seers of Oran, in addition to the nation of Highguard for their contribution of a collective 239 dragonbone towards the purchase of a boon from Skathe which was then used to curse High Lady Suriad, Salt Lord of Dubhtraig thus demonstrating the Prosperity and Ambition of The Scions of Atun and Atuman. | Franco i Sol Deverador i Erigo | Upheld 48 - 0 |
| 25 | Loyalty | That the Loyalty Assembly believes that the following is the right penance for brother Oberon of the Gilded Horn Carta. Oberon will write a treatise on the Abuse of Priestly powers and this will be approved by the Imperial Inquisitor and reviewed by the relevant magistrate. Once done, he will be released from his penance. | Robert Hawcombe | Upheld 132 - 0 |
| 26 | Loyalty | The Ashen Tower of Temeschwar of the League in particular Prince Volo Verus and Captain Feroce Lupo showed great Loyalty to the City of Sarvos and the Wider Empire by giving up many personal resources and businesses with a loss of political and economic power to provide an effective number of military units and continued to be a rallying point for other forces. | Odanava | Upheld 100 - 0 |
| 27E | General | Escalation of Judgement 27 by power of the proxy Virtue Inquisitor of Loyalty. That Jonah Yakovitch von Holberg, Valimir Von Temeschwar, Guillamo de Tassato and Silvio di Tassato have been judged disloyal by the Loyalty Assembly and it is recommended that the above persons be excommunicated until such time as they prove their Loyalty. | Sister Meredith Stellamaris | Upheld 246- 36 |
| After this judgement was passed, the status of Sister Meredith Stellamaris as a valid proxy of the Virtue Inquisitor Julius Cavita, who was not present at the summit, was challenged by Cardinal Irada Von Temeschwar. This now under investigation by the Magistrates and Synod Civil Service for possible impersonating an official of the state and subverting the processes of the agencies of the state | ||||
| 29 | Courage | Lucifer of Highguard, with the aid of Nina of Cantiarch’s Hold are to be sent to Reikos to save those who have been abducted and maimed, and bring them back to the light of Courage. They are entrusted with 100 liao for this. | Lucifer, Son of Cyrus | Upheld 172 - 0 |
| 30 | General | We as the Empire must hold to our treaties and oaths. They are easily broken when convenient. But we must have the Courage to stand by them in hardship, hold to the Loyalty of these bonds, and take Pride in the worth of our word. | Gwendolyn Athansdottir | Upheld 400 - 48 |
| 34 | Prosperity | I propose that the Prosperity assembly take the opportunity to construct a grand temple of Prosperity, in the Eastern Principality of Jarm. This would be at the cost of 20 wains of white granite and 40 crowns. This temple would be a place for The Way to be preached to the people of Jarm and would increase the spread of conversions in The Way of Virtue across the Principality. | Ophelia Sanguineo Rezia di Tassato | Upheld 118 - 0 |
| 35 | General | The herb gardens of the Druj in Reikos provide much opportunity for learning about their control and command of malign spiritual presences. I urge the investigation of these herbs that enable orcs to create spiritual auras. | Saul of Cantiach’s Hold | Upheld 583 - 14 |
| 36 | General | At present Imperial Orc Preachers cannot join a Virtue Assembly due to being unable to be dedicated. This should change to allow them to join a Virtue Assembly based on a testamony.It would be virtious for the Senate to change the law to allow this. | Redhand Gik | Upheld 315 - 180 |
| 37 | General | A need to send missionaries to help lead the Isle of Zemress in all of the Virtues. More information of the Isle of Zemress is available from Immeldar of the Brazen Pavadov. | Immeldar i Ezmara i Erigo | Upheld 403 - 24 |
| 40 | League | When an Eternal makes a credible threat a prominent member of the Conclave, i.e an archmage or grandmaster, should be informed. If the threat involves a direct threat against the Empire’s military then a member of the Military Council should be informed. A priest should also be consulted. | Irada von Temeschwar | Upheld 104 - 0 |
| 41 | General | The law against Idolatry is phrased as “Subsuming human will & destiny to any in-human entity or force. This includes worship, veneration or exaltation of any such being of power.” This does not clearly prohibit orc citizens from engaging in worship of powers if they do not technically “subsume” (etc) in some fashion. The Senate should amend this law. | Agnetha De Rondell | Upheld 444 - 90 |
| 42 | Nine | That providing that citizens of the Empire are explicitly prevented from worshipping at a temple venerating the heathen idols of Asavea, and only if, then the creation of this temple on Imperial soil is worth the cost in order to bring The Way to the people of Asavea (with a temple build on their land.) | Serrusto Caeli Rezia di Tassato | Withdrawn at request of the raising priest |
| 43 | Courage | Under Inquisition, Golan the Wander revealed himself to be ignorant of the Paragons and Exemplars of Courage. He could not even name them, and he was not dedicated to the Virtue of Courage. He knew nothing of doctrine or the common practices of The Way. Golan has agreed to spend the coming season under the tutelage of the Cardinal of Courage to better educate him in these essential principles of our Faith. | Jorma Steelhail | Upheld 158 - 0 |
| This judgement relates to the Conviction and The Courageous Priest winds of fortune events. | ||||
| 48 | Vigilance | That all Imperial Generals and their adjutants should strive to be educated in, or educate themselves with a priest in The Way and teachings of the Virtues - So that they may weigh spiritual harms as well as physical harms in the pursuit of their duties. | Ingrid | Upheld 124 - 0 |
| 49 | Wintermark | The Nation of Wintermark would like to recognise the Loyalty of Corvus, Archmage of Summer. When the Silver Peaks were ceded to the Thule, Corvus recognised our loss of Prosperity and gave a gift of ilium to the nation. | Ranulf | Upheld 82 - 0 |
| 51 | Navarr | The Navarr National Assembly agrees with the motion to recognise Navarr and Thorn as Exemplars of Ambition. | Elowen of Exile’s End | Upheld 62 - 0 |
| 52 | League | With reference to Judgement 17, due to the deaths of Leopold von Holberg and Callista Barossa, the priest so named to serve in Sarvos shall be: Vitória Barossa di Tassato Regario (Courage), Oberon of the Gilded Horn Carta (Loyalty), Josephine Joanna Andolini dei Liberi (The Way), Suta Blackbird (Pride) | Vitória Barossa di Tassato Regario | Upheld 124 - 0 |
| This judgement relates to the The sack of Sarvos winds of fortune event. The Civil Service noted the support given by the statement “I Aria Notturno di Sarvos, Mayor of Caricomare support and encourage the citizenry of Sarvos to rise up against the Grendel. I have made the people of Sarvos and the Egregore aware of my position in this.” | ||||
| 53 | Prosperity | That the Senate should actively pursue opportunities for trade with all foreign nations. Trade with foreign nations helps the Empire prosper and facilitates the spreading of The Way to foreigners. | Vauraus Korppitkotka | Upheld 68 - 0 |
| 55 | General | The eternal Sorin has actively barred the passage of 18,904 souls into The Labyrinth. We urge Conclave to declare enmity. | Sivar | Upheld 304 - 56 |
| 56 | General | The religious rite of Excommunication is widely held to be damaging to the human soul and its progress through The Labyrinth. It would therefore be unvirtuous to enact the rite of Excommunication on a human soul even if a Writ of Excommunication has been passed. | Vitomir Grigorovich Vardov | Withdrawn at request of the raising priest |
| 61 | Varushka | The Varushkan National Assembly recognises the need our Senators had to appoint a General without going through the due process, which has been established in Varushka, due to the dire need for expediency. We implore our Senators to hold an election for the position as soon as is practicable. | Ezys | Upheld 126 - 0 |
| 62 | Varushka | That Yamiliach the Red Volhov of the Vorazi for his Courage on the battlefield and Loyalty to the Empire that cost him his life but saved the lives of many others should be recognised for his Virtue. | Vukomir Maryankovich Zverokaz | Upheld 126 - 0 |
| 63 | Pride | It has been powerfully demonstrated that Imperial citizens in occupied territories are losing The Way. To reduce suffering and increase Virtue, we encourage priests to go and preach in occupied territories. We will not abandon our citizens to make exceptionally difficult choices without our guidance. | Elka Nadyanova Gremani | Upheld 48 - 0 |
The Imperial Synod did not make the following Statements of Principle:
| Number | Assembly | Statement of Principle | Priest | Outcome |
| 10 | Navarr | The Navarr National Assembly recognises that the role of Navarr Prelate, as defined by Judgement 6 on the Autumn Equinox of 379 YE, will be held by the citizen who holds the Voice of Barbs Sinecure. | Gerallt Brakensong | Not Upheld 22 - 52 |
| 20 | General | Creation of new Synod power: Declaration of Guidance. If a citizen is found to have acted unvirtuous by inquisition they may be placed under a Declaration of Guidance naming the citizen and the Virtue(s) they acted contrary to. Any member of one of the named Virtue Assemblies may place Virtuous auras on the citizen or their possessions without risk of accusation of abuse of powers for a period of a year. A senate motion will be required to create this power. | Soratio i Del Toro | Not Upheld 191 - 277 |
| 33 | General | Many of the Paragons and Exemplars have died in the pursuit of their Virtue. Permion and Isaella died for their Courage. Vardas died for his Vigilance. Chernobog and members of the Marked died for their Loyalty. Tian was permanently crippled for her Ambition. The First Empress died in battle for Her Empire. The willingness to sacrifice one’s mortal life in the pursuit of their Virtue should be one of the Signs of the Paragon - the Sign of Martyrdom. | Isaac Carlino di Sarvos | Not Upheld 96 - 344 |
