Map to the City Below

2026-08-25T19:21:20Z

Emmanovi: corrected appointment

==Overview==
<div style="float: right; width: 200px;">{{CaptionedImage|file=Assembly League.png|caption=This title is appointed by the League Assembly|width=250px}}</div>
The Map to the City Below is an [[Imperial title]] awarded to a citizen of [[the League]]. The [[Construct Chamber of Euphony|motion]] to construct - and cede to [[Sung]] - the Chamber of Euphony was raised by '''Genoveva Barossa d'Apulian''', as the [[Spiral|Senator for Spiral]], during the Spring Equinox 387YE.

The Map to the City Below has a responsibility to encourage the spread of magic, music, and mystery in [[Spiral#Apulian|Apulian]], and oversees the Chamber of Euphony. The title was created as a result of an opportunity presented in the '''[[The_play_that_came_to_Apulian#Writhing_Tails,_Flashing_Wing|The play that came to Apulian]]''' wind of fortune.

==Responsibilities==
The Map to the City Below is responsible for encouraging the spread of magic, music, and mystery in Apulian. In addition, if the Chamber of Euphony were to come under threat, it would be the responsibility of the Map to the City Below to respond to those threats.

==Powers==
The holder of this Imperial title has two powers that they can employ provided that Sung is not [[Alignment#Enmity|under enmity]].
===Crystal Fire===
<div style="width: 350px; float: right; clear: right; margin-left:10px;">
<table class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><tr><td colspan="2" style="background-color: LightYellow;">'''Crystal Fire from the City Below'''</td></tr>
<tr><td>171 rings</td><td>4 crystal fire</td></tr>
<tr><td>373 rings</td><td>7 crystal fire</td></tr>
<tr><td>676 rings</td><td>11 crystal fire</td></tr>
<tr><td>878 rings</td><td>13 crystal fire</td></tr>
</table></div>
The Map to the City Below has access to a ministry, which allows the holder to purchase [[crystal fire]] at a set price. The Chamber of Euphony is visited by several heralds of the [[Sung|Spiral Dancer]], and they are willing to sell shards of the dark mineral. The Map to the City Below makes their decision on how much money to spend during downtime from their character page. Money is removed from, and vis is placed into, the character's inventory when the downtime is processed.

===Effigy of the Night Singer ===
The Map to the City Below also receives an [[Clear_Counsel_of_the_Everflowing_River#Preparing_the_Question|ambergelt effigy]] each season that can be used to submit a question to Sung, using the ritual [[Clear Counsel of the Everflowing River]].
{{CaptionedImage|file=Sofonisba Amilcara of the City Below.jpg|caption='''Sofonisba Amilcara of the City Below''', Map to the City Below|align=left|width=275}}

==Favoured by Sung==
The current holder of this title, Sofonisba Amilcara of the City Below, is ''favoured'' by Sung. As a result of this patronage, they enjoy additional powers above and beyond those granted by the Chamber of Euphony. If the League Assembly elected a new Map to the City Below, the eternal would choose who gained and who maintained these powers.

===Bound to the City===
* '''Sofonisba is "bound" to the city'''
* '''This favour ''may'' grant Sofonisba early warning if the city is threatened'''
Sofonisba is now bound to the city and benefits from a unique gift from [[Sung]]. There is some uncertainty as to what being "''bound''" to the city actually means.

The current belief of Apulian magicians is that the Map will usually be the first to know if the city is threatened by an eternal. Or that the Map will know about any threat as soon as Sung does. Or that Sung will know about any threat as soon as the Map does. At least one of those things is definitely true, possibly all of them. Straight answers are rare with some Night eternals, and none more so than the ''Lord of Illusions''.

===A Panoply of Dreams===
* '''Sofonisba is high in the counsels of Sung'''
* '''This favour ''may'' grant Sofonisba additional information each season'''
Sofonisba is favoured by Sung who holds the magician in high esteem. The eternal includes them in her counsels which ''may'' provide them with additional information each season.

There is no magical basis for this favour, so it is not possible for magicians to analyse it. The Rainbow Serpent is open about the fact that they hold counsel with Sofonisba in some manner, but only Sofonisba knows what exactly that means.

==The Chamber of Euphony==
<div style="float:right; width: 400px; clear: right;">{{CaptionedImage|file=Sung001b.JPG |caption=Nothing can be said that can't be sung.|align=right|width=350}}</div>
The Chamber of Euphony is an intimate auditorium that was first proposed by [[A_question_of_loyalty#Spires|Actius of the Deathless Caves]]. It incorporates a stage and seating with strange acoustics that allow for beautiful, evocative performances of music that supporters find transcendent and spellbinding. Sadly not everyone agrees and some music critics have described performances of even the most popular pieces as "weirdly atonal", "disharmonious" and "the musical equivalent of taking too much goosewhisper infusion."

Despite this division, or perhaps because of it, tickets for performances are ''always'' in high demand. On most nights the mortal performers create something that is at least dramatic and impactful - whatever you think of the Chamber, almost nobody is left indifferent by a recital. On rare nights the music is an accompaniment by a dance by the [[The fate of the many|Dancer at the End of Time]], a peculiar herald of Sung who lives in the emotion of the music.

==Appointment==
The Map to the City Below is a national position which is [[Appointment|appointed]] by [[judgement]] of the [[Assembly#The_National_Assemblies|League Assembly]].

The Map to the City Below is appointed during the Spring Equinox each year. They can be revoked by the [[Assembly#General_Assembly|General Assembly]], the League Assembly, and the [[Assembly#Assembly_of_the_Nine|Assembly of the Nine]].

Tally of the Votes

2026-08-20T20:44:36Z

Emmanovi: /* Schedule */ Added Chief Wrangler

<quote by="Giovanni, The Throne">I prefer coins to people. Coins only have two faces.</quote>
==Overview==
At each summit the Bourse selects citizens to fill most national positions through the Tally of the Votes. The Tally applies to the majority of Bourse titles that are national positions; the Imperial seats and two League national positions are elected by [[Auction of the Seats]].

Participation in the Tally of the Votes is open to all Imperial citizens who have an eligible resource. To support the process, the civil service providing a voting bond to each eligible citizen, with their name, how many votes they hold, the titles they can support and the times of the election.

==Voting==
* '''The civil service distribute voting bonds to all eligible citizens'''
* '''Your bond has the date of issue, your name, how many votes you have and what titles you can vote for printed on it'''
* '''Voting Bonds are only valid are the summit where they are issued'''
* '''If you have a bond then you can use it to vote in the elections or give it to anyone for them to use'''
<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; max-width: 400px; width: 50%;">
<table>
<tr><th>Nation</th><th>Location</th></tr>
<tr><td>Brass Coast</td><td>Waypoint</td></tr>
<tr><td>Dawn</td><td>Glory Square</td></tr>
<tr><td>Highguard</td><td>Chapel</td></tr>
<tr><td>Imperial Orcs</td><td>Fire Pit</td></tr>
<tr><td>League</td><td>The Plaza</td></tr>
<tr><td>Marches</td><td>Community Hall</td></tr>
<tr><td>Navarr</td><td>Standing Circle</td></tr>
<tr><td>Urizen</td><td>Near Net of Heaven</td></tr>
<tr><td>Varushka</td><td>Central Hearth</td></tr>
<tr><td>Wintermark</td><td>Tree of Names</td></tr>
</table></div>
If a nation has one or more Imperial titles to elect through the Bourse then the Civil Service provide each eligible citizen of that nation who is attending Anvil that summit with a bond, a printed document that certifies the number of votes held by that citizen. To be eligible, a citizen must [[#Votes|possess an appropriate personal resource]]. If you are issued with a bond it will have your name on it as well as how many votes you have and what titles they can be used to support. It will also have the date of the summit it was issued at - bonds are only valid at the summit where they are issued.

All tally of the votes elections are held on the Saturday afternoon of each summit. The Imperial civil servants will visit each nation in turn to conduct the elections. If you have a bond you can either attend the election in person to cast your votes or pass the bond to another party to use. A bond is considered to be your legal property - it is legal for a citizen to sell or transfer your bond to any other citizen or foreigner, although only a citizen of the appropriate nation can hold a title.

The civil service will visit each nation in turn at times [[Event schedule|published in advance of each summit]] to conduct the elections. Titles are elected in published order, with the [[Agent of the Bourse]] inviting eligible candidates to present themselves. At the start of the election for each title, all candidates must complete a slip provided by the Agent, stating their name, and how many votes they have gathered. These sealed bids are submitted to the Agent who will then invite the candidate with the strongest claim - the highest total number of votes on their bonds - to step forward and present their voting bonds. The Agent will take all their bonds, count up the votes, and provided they have sufficient legal votes in excess of any other claim, they will be declared the winner.

All the votes of the winner will be destroyed, anyone who has not won the election is entitled to keep their votes. Voting will then proceed to remaining titles. This means that if more than one title is being elected, then any citizen who is unsuccessful can use the votes they hold for a subsequent election, if they wish to do so.

It is possible for a representative to present the voting bonds of behalf of a candidate who is not present, but it is important to note that a proxy cannot collect any [[#Production|production]]. Any resources that the winner is eligible to collect will be added to their inventory if they are not physically present to collect them.

==Schedule==
The major Bourse seats operate to a schedule dictated by the materials produced. For example, all titles focussed on the production of white granite are elected at the Summer Solstice each year

* [[Weirwood]] seats are re-elected at the Winter Solstice.
* [[Ilium]] seats and the [[Master of the Imperial Mint]] are re-elected at the Spring Equinox.
* [[White granite]] seats are re-elected at the Summer Solstice.
* [[Mithril]] seats are re-elected at the Autumn Equinox.

The elections for other titles are spread across the year by the Civil Service to ensure a smooth process. A list of seats to be appointed at the upcoming event can be found on the [[Recent history|recent history]] page and on notices in the Hub. Once appointed, the new seat holders are announced via the Bourse noticeboard in the Hub.

Where multiple national titles are being elected at the same events, the elections are conducted in the order published below based on the civil service assessment of their prominence. Occasionally, the election date for a title will need to be moved to smooth administration and keep elections competitive. Where this happens, an election with a short term of office will be carried out the next time the title is elected, so that the re-election falls at the correct summit in future.

</table>

==Selection==
An Imperial citizen must be a member of the appropriate nation to hold a national Bourse seat and it must be the only Imperial title they control.

All national titles elected through the bourse are re-elected annually. If the title is elected at the normal summit each year then the chosen citizen serves for one year until the start of the equivalent summit one year later.

If a national Bourse seat becomes vacant outside the normal election cycle (due to death, resignation, or excommunication of the title holder) then the seat is elected at the following summit. In this case, the winning citizen will only serve for the remaining term. The title becomes vacant again at the normal point in the election cycle.

==Votes==
<div style="float:right; width: 500px;"><box>'''Determining the votes'''<br>
Voting for a national bourse position depends on ownership of a specific [[Resource#Personal_Resource|personal resource]]. A personal resource provides 10 votes, plus an extra 2 votes for each time it has been upgraded. You receive the average of these votes for ''each season'' during the previous year that the resource was active. Only the actual rank of the resource counts in this calculation. [[Enchantment|Enchantments]], [[curse|curses]], penalties or bonuses for downtime effects and so on have no effect.

Brand new characters who have the appropriate personal resource are assumed to have had that resource for the previous year (and taken the appropriate action in the case of the Imperial Orcs). Likewise, players with the resource who have missed an event similarly receive votes for events they did not attend. We've made this rule for game balance reasons - so that new characters and players unable to attend every event are not unfairly penalised.</box></div>

The Bourse appoints national positions by vote of members of that nation who hold the resources traditional for that nation. For example, a League position in the Bourse is usually elected by vote of League business owners. Each citizen who owned the right resource receives a number of votes proportional to the size of their resource (even if they have changed their resource since then) which they can cast for a single candidate of their choice whenever the position is elected. To be eligible to vote the required resources are:

* [[The Brass Coast]] - [[Fleet|fleets]]<sup>(1)</sup>
* [[Dawn]] - [[Military unit]]
* [[Highguard]] - [[Congregation]]
* [[Imperial Orcs]] - [[Military unit]] [[Military_unit#Supporting_an_Army|supporting]] an [[army]] during the previous year.
* [[Navarr]] - [[Herb garden]]
* [[The League]] - [[Business]]
* [[The Marches]] - [[Farm]]
* [[Urizen]] - [[Mana site]]
* [[Varushka]] - [[Mine]] and [[Forest]] owners
* [[Wintermark]] - [[Military unit]]

<sup>(1)</sup> Prior to the Spring Equinox 384YE, votes in the Brass Coast were restricted to fleets engaging in [[Fleet#Privateering|privateering]] during the previous year. This [[384YE_Spring_Equinox_winds_of_fortune#Sails_of_Fire|was changed]] following a statement of principle by the Brass Coast National Assembly that gained widespread support in the nation.

==Production==
For national Bourse seats that produce large amounts of mithril, white granite, weirwood or ilium, the most recent season's production can be immediately claimed from the Agent of the Bourse by the winning candidate, if they are present. Any production that is not claimed is added to their inventory. Subsequent production in later seasons is added to the title holder's inventory before each summit until the last one. The title holder does not receive any production on the run-up to the summit where the title is due to be re-elected - that is reserved for whoever wins the auction for the title at the summit.

For other titles that do not produce large amounts of mithril, white granite, weirwood or ilium, the winning candidate receives whatever production or access to a ministry the title provides in the following downtime, until the title is elected again.

==Removal==
The Bourse is explicitly protected from interference from the [[Synod]] in the [[Imperial Constitution]]. Because of this, it is not possible to revoke a Bourse seat holder to remove them from their position. They serve until the title is reelected or until they die or step down.

==Overview==
The Chief Wrangler is an [[Imperial title]] awarded to a citizen of [[the Brass Coast]]. [[Construct_Wrangler%27s_Market|Commissioned]] by the Imperial Senate at the Summer Solstice 388YE, the ''Wrangler's Market'' presents some opportunity to trade cattle to the Suranni - but secretly also acts as a front to enable spying on the territory of Arbonne.
__NOTOC__
===Responsibilities===
The Chief Wrangler is responsible for ensuring that sufficient cattle is traded to the Suranni to allow Unshackled scouts to spy on the territory. If the market were to be threatened in any way, it would be the responsibility of the Wrangler to deal with those threats.
==Powers==
===Cattle Trade===
<div {{Float}}>
<table class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><tr><td colspan="2" style="background-color:LightYellow;">'''Cattle Trade'''</td></tr>
<tr><td>140 Rings</td><td>6 orichalcum and 6 weltsilver</td></tr>
<tr><td>340 Rings</td><td>12 orichalcum and 12 weltsilver</td></tr>
<tr><td>600 Rings</td><td>18 orichalcum and 18 weltsilver</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
As a [[ministry]], the position of Chief Wrangler allows the holder to purchase quantities of orichalcum and weltsilver at a set price. The Dhomiro spends their decision about how much money to spend during downtime from their character page. Money (representing cattle) is removed from, and resources are placed into, the character's inventory when the downtime is processed.

Operating the ministry allows the spy network in the territory to continue undetected. As long as the ministry is operated each season, the Suranni will have no way at all to discover the network. Indeed, it is be in the interests of corrupt officials not to look too closely and even to cover up any evidence of spying that they did discover - because it might disrupt the lucrative trade.
==Appointment==
The Chief Wrangler is appointed during the Autumn Equinox. The Wrangler is appointed by citizens of the Brass Coast who control [[fleet|fleets]]. The voting is handled by the civil servants in the Bourse.

Only a Freeborn character may hold the title. They do not receive a seat on the Bourse. As a title appointed through the Bourse they cannot be [[revocation|revoked]] by the [[Synod]].

2026-08-20T20:18:45Z

Emmanovi: Added sinecure

{{CaptionedImage|file=AdvisorErgot.jpg|align=left|title=Bloodcrow Ergot, the third orc to hold the title of Advisor on orc affairs.|caption=The Advisor advises on both [[Imperial Orcs|Imperial]] and [[Barbarian#The_Orc_Tribes|barbarian]] [[orc|orcs]]|width=250}}
==Overview==
The Advisor on Orc Affairs is an Imperial title [[Create title of Imperial Orc observer|created]] by the [[Senate]] in Winter 376YE and [[Amend_powers_of_the_Advisor_on_Orc_Affairs|amended]] in the Spring Equinox of 379YE.

The first Imperial orc advisor was appointed at the Autumn Equinox in 377YE. Even before that appointment there was some controversy; when the position was first suggested, the magistrates were concerned that there were extensive constitutional problems with the title. "It is the magistrate's opinion that this motion is unconstitutional as the primary purpose of the senate is to represent the citizens of current imperial territories. The Imperial Orc nation does not currently have any territories. Furthermore it is within the existing powers of the senate to call someone to address the senate with regards to a particular motion." Following a full investigation of the matter by the [[Scrutiny#Constitutional_Court|Constitutional Court]], these concerns were overturned - comparison was made with the [[Bourse|Master of the Imperial Mint]]. As there was no attempt to give the Advisor any ability to vote or raise motions, the constitutional concerns were assuaged.

Prior to the establishment of the orc [[territory]] of [[Skarsind]], the Advisor was appointed by unanimous decision of the Imperial Orc [[general|generals]]; if they were not unanimous, the only alternative was for a vote of appointment by the Imperial Senate. With the assignment of [[Skarsind]], and the nation now having the ability to appoint [[senator|senators]], the appointment mechanism defaults to the standard method of appointing national Senate titles.

At the Summer Solstice 388YE, the Senate [[Construct_Archives_of_the_Advisor|commissioned]] a sinecure, the ''Archives of the Advisor'', in Solvihill, Skarsind. Work was completed just before the Autumn Equinox 388YE.
==Responsibilities==
The Advisor advises the Imperial Senate on matters relating to the [[Orc|orcs]], both [[Imperial Orcs|Imperial]] and [[barbarian|otherwise]]. While they cannot raise or second a motion, nor vote, the Advisor is able and expected to participate fully in the debate that surrounds any Senatorial decision.

==Powers==
===Member of the Senate===
The Advisor on Orc Affairs is a [[Senate session#Member_of_the_Senate|member of the Senate]]. They are entitled to enter the Senate chamber at the start of a [[Senate session]] and participate in the debates. They do not have the power to raise motions or to vote on a motion.

===Right of Address===
The Advisor on Orc Affairs has the right to [[Senate address|make an address]] to the Senate once per summit. This is intended to allow them to present issues or concerns relating to the orcs. To use this power, the Advisor informs the Civil Service that they wish to address the Senate. Their address will be added to the agenda for the next [[Senate session]].
===Gloaming Income===
The Advisor benefits from a [[sinecure]] and receives 12 measures of iridescent gloaming each season.
==Appointment==
The Advisor on orc affairs is appointed during the Spring Equinox each year. The title is selected by unanimous decision of the [[Imperial Orcs|Imperial Orc]] [[senator|senators]]. If a unanimous decision cannot be reached, the title [[Appointments_by_the_Senate#National_Position|may be appointed]] by the [[Senate]] instead.

The title can be held by any Imperial Orc citizen, and they can be [[revocation|revoked]] by the [[Assembly#General_Assembly|General Assembly]], the [[Assembly#The_National_Assemblies|Imperial Orc National Assembly]], and by the [[Assembly#Assembly_of_the_Nine|Assembly of the Nine]].

Tally of the Votes

2026-08-20T20:07:42Z

Emmanovi: /* Schedule */ Added Hakima of the Rippling Marshes

<quote by="Giovanni, The Throne">I prefer coins to people. Coins only have two faces.</quote>
==Overview==
At each summit the Bourse selects citizens to fill most national positions through the Tally of the Votes. The Tally applies to the majority of Bourse titles that are national positions; the Imperial seats and two League national positions are elected by [[Auction of the Seats]].

Participation in the Tally of the Votes is open to all Imperial citizens who have an eligible resource. To support the process, the civil service providing a voting bond to each eligible citizen, with their name, how many votes they hold, the titles they can support and the times of the election.

==Voting==
* '''The civil service distribute voting bonds to all eligible citizens'''
* '''Your bond has the date of issue, your name, how many votes you have and what titles you can vote for printed on it'''
* '''Voting Bonds are only valid are the summit where they are issued'''
* '''If you have a bond then you can use it to vote in the elections or give it to anyone for them to use'''
<div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; max-width: 400px; width: 50%;">
<table>
<tr><th>Nation</th><th>Location</th></tr>
<tr><td>Brass Coast</td><td>Waypoint</td></tr>
<tr><td>Dawn</td><td>Glory Square</td></tr>
<tr><td>Highguard</td><td>Chapel</td></tr>
<tr><td>Imperial Orcs</td><td>Fire Pit</td></tr>
<tr><td>League</td><td>The Plaza</td></tr>
<tr><td>Marches</td><td>Community Hall</td></tr>
<tr><td>Navarr</td><td>Standing Circle</td></tr>
<tr><td>Urizen</td><td>Near Net of Heaven</td></tr>
<tr><td>Varushka</td><td>Central Hearth</td></tr>
<tr><td>Wintermark</td><td>Tree of Names</td></tr>
</table></div>
If a nation has one or more Imperial titles to elect through the Bourse then the Civil Service provide each eligible citizen of that nation who is attending Anvil that summit with a bond, a printed document that certifies the number of votes held by that citizen. To be eligible, a citizen must [[#Votes|possess an appropriate personal resource]]. If you are issued with a bond it will have your name on it as well as how many votes you have and what titles they can be used to support. It will also have the date of the summit it was issued at - bonds are only valid at the summit where they are issued.

All tally of the votes elections are held on the Saturday afternoon of each summit. The Imperial civil servants will visit each nation in turn to conduct the elections. If you have a bond you can either attend the election in person to cast your votes or pass the bond to another party to use. A bond is considered to be your legal property - it is legal for a citizen to sell or transfer your bond to any other citizen or foreigner, although only a citizen of the appropriate nation can hold a title.

The civil service will visit each nation in turn at times [[Event schedule|published in advance of each summit]] to conduct the elections. Titles are elected in published order, with the [[Agent of the Bourse]] inviting eligible candidates to present themselves. At the start of the election for each title, all candidates must complete a slip provided by the Agent, stating their name, and how many votes they have gathered. These sealed bids are submitted to the Agent who will then invite the candidate with the strongest claim - the highest total number of votes on their bonds - to step forward and present their voting bonds. The Agent will take all their bonds, count up the votes, and provided they have sufficient legal votes in excess of any other claim, they will be declared the winner.

All the votes of the winner will be destroyed, anyone who has not won the election is entitled to keep their votes. Voting will then proceed to remaining titles. This means that if more than one title is being elected, then any citizen who is unsuccessful can use the votes they hold for a subsequent election, if they wish to do so.

It is possible for a representative to present the voting bonds of behalf of a candidate who is not present, but it is important to note that a proxy cannot collect any [[#Production|production]]. Any resources that the winner is eligible to collect will be added to their inventory if they are not physically present to collect them.

==Schedule==
The major Bourse seats operate to a schedule dictated by the materials produced. For example, all titles focussed on the production of white granite are elected at the Summer Solstice each year

* [[Weirwood]] seats are re-elected at the Winter Solstice.
* [[Ilium]] seats and the [[Master of the Imperial Mint]] are re-elected at the Spring Equinox.
* [[White granite]] seats are re-elected at the Summer Solstice.
* [[Mithril]] seats are re-elected at the Autumn Equinox.

The elections for other titles are spread across the year by the Civil Service to ensure a smooth process. A list of seats to be appointed at the upcoming event can be found on the [[Recent history|recent history]] page and on notices in the Hub. Once appointed, the new seat holders are announced via the Bourse noticeboard in the Hub.

Where multiple national titles are being elected at the same events, the elections are conducted in the order published below based on the civil service assessment of their prominence. Occasionally, the election date for a title will need to be moved to smooth administration and keep elections competitive. Where this happens, an election with a short term of office will be carried out the next time the title is elected, so that the re-election falls at the correct summit in future.

</table>

==Selection==
An Imperial citizen must be a member of the appropriate nation to hold a national Bourse seat and it must be the only Imperial title they control.

All national titles elected through the bourse are re-elected annually. If the title is elected at the normal summit each year then the chosen citizen serves for one year until the start of the equivalent summit one year later.

If a national Bourse seat becomes vacant outside the normal election cycle (due to death, resignation, or excommunication of the title holder) then the seat is elected at the following summit. In this case, the winning citizen will only serve for the remaining term. The title becomes vacant again at the normal point in the election cycle.

==Votes==
<div style="float:right; width: 500px;"><box>'''Determining the votes'''<br>
Voting for a national bourse position depends on ownership of a specific [[Resource#Personal_Resource|personal resource]]. A personal resource provides 10 votes, plus an extra 2 votes for each time it has been upgraded. You receive the average of these votes for ''each season'' during the previous year that the resource was active. Only the actual rank of the resource counts in this calculation. [[Enchantment|Enchantments]], [[curse|curses]], penalties or bonuses for downtime effects and so on have no effect.

Brand new characters who have the appropriate personal resource are assumed to have had that resource for the previous year (and taken the appropriate action in the case of the Imperial Orcs). Likewise, players with the resource who have missed an event similarly receive votes for events they did not attend. We've made this rule for game balance reasons - so that new characters and players unable to attend every event are not unfairly penalised.</box></div>

The Bourse appoints national positions by vote of members of that nation who hold the resources traditional for that nation. For example, a League position in the Bourse is usually elected by vote of League business owners. Each citizen who owned the right resource receives a number of votes proportional to the size of their resource (even if they have changed their resource since then) which they can cast for a single candidate of their choice whenever the position is elected. To be eligible to vote the required resources are:

* [[The Brass Coast]] - [[Fleet|fleets]]<sup>(1)</sup>
* [[Dawn]] - [[Military unit]]
* [[Highguard]] - [[Congregation]]
* [[Imperial Orcs]] - [[Military unit]] [[Military_unit#Supporting_an_Army|supporting]] an [[army]] during the previous year.
* [[Navarr]] - [[Herb garden]]
* [[The League]] - [[Business]]
* [[The Marches]] - [[Farm]]
* [[Urizen]] - [[Mana site]]
* [[Varushka]] - [[Mine]] and [[Forest]] owners
* [[Wintermark]] - [[Military unit]]

<sup>(1)</sup> Prior to the Spring Equinox 384YE, votes in the Brass Coast were restricted to fleets engaging in [[Fleet#Privateering|privateering]] during the previous year. This [[384YE_Spring_Equinox_winds_of_fortune#Sails_of_Fire|was changed]] following a statement of principle by the Brass Coast National Assembly that gained widespread support in the nation.

==Production==
For national Bourse seats that produce large amounts of mithril, white granite, weirwood or ilium, the most recent season's production can be immediately claimed from the Agent of the Bourse by the winning candidate, if they are present. Any production that is not claimed is added to their inventory. Subsequent production in later seasons is added to the title holder's inventory before each summit until the last one. The title holder does not receive any production on the run-up to the summit where the title is due to be re-elected - that is reserved for whoever wins the auction for the title at the summit.

For other titles that do not produce large amounts of mithril, white granite, weirwood or ilium, the winning candidate receives whatever production or access to a ministry the title provides in the following downtime, until the title is elected again.

==Removal==
The Bourse is explicitly protected from interference from the [[Synod]] in the [[Imperial Constitution]]. Because of this, it is not possible to revoke a Bourse seat holder to remove them from their position. They serve until the title is reelected or until they die or step down.

A great work is any major economic investment which is sufficiently large in scope that it provides a benefit to the inhabitants of an entire territory. The return can take the form of money, herbs, [[Game_items#Materials|materials for crafting items]] or mana crystals.

Great works do not automatically result in the creation of an Imperial title, as most great works do not require anyone to oversee them. The Senate may choose to create a [[New_Imperial_titles#Custodian|custodian]] for a great work - an Imperial title with the responsibility to look after the great work.

There are a number of important rules that impact great works, setting the costs, restricting the benefits, and imposing limitations any of which may be superseded by an appropriate [[opportunity]].

==Senate Commissions==
The [[Senate]] may pass a motion for the construction of infrastructure capable of improving the wealth generated by resources in a territory.

It is not possible for the Senate to pass a motion to upgrade a great work, but they can construct additional great works that further the level of investment in the territory.

===Benefits===
Each great work is linked to a specific type of personal resource in a specific territory. Every member of that nation who attended the last event and who owns the appropriate personal resource in the territory gains the benefit. A starting character will not receive the benefit of a great work in their first pack.

Each great work lifts the level of investment in a territory, providing a small fixed benefit to everyone from that nation in the territory. The higher the final level of investment, the greater the benefits. Every personal resource gains from the level of investment in a territory, regardless of who owns them.

The type of benefit received is restricted to the normal production of a resource. Raising the level of investment in [[farm|farms]] or [[business|businesses]] provides additional money while raising the level of investment for [[mana site|mana sites]] provides additional mana crystals.

Great works that raise the level of investment of mines of forests, work for all mines in a territory regardless of type or for all forests. Every affected [[mine]] or [[forest]] gains the appropriate ingots or measures. Great works that benefits [[herb garden|herb gardens]] may specify which bonus herbs they provide.

<table class="wikitable" style="width: 500px; float: right;">
<tr><th>Type</th><th>Resource</th><th>Type</th><th>Resource</th></tr>
<tr><td>[[Business]]</td><td>White Granite</td><td>[[Herb garden]]</td><td>Weirwood</td><tr>
<tr><td>[[Farm]]</td><td>Weirwood</td><td>[[Mana site]]</td><td>Mithril</td><tr>
<tr><td>[[Forest]]</td><td>White Granite</td><td>[[Mine]]</td><td>Mithril</td><tr>
<tr><td>[[Congregation]]</td><td>White Granite</td><td>[[Fleet]]</td><td>Weirwood</td><tr>
</table>

===Costs===
* Materials: Variable (minimum 50 wains)
* Time: 3 months to construct per 50 wains of materials used
* Labour: 3 crowns per wain
* Upkeep: None

To raise the level of investment to one costs 50 wains. Each subsequent level of investment costs 25 additional wains. So to take the level of investment from one to two costs 75 more wains, from two to three costs 100 more wains and so on. Each level of investment provides the same benefits. It is possible for a single vast great work to raise the level of investment by any number of levels provided it is sufficiently large, but it does not produce any benefits for anyone until it is complete.

Under normal circumstances, the material required will be the one associated with upgrading an equivalent personal resource. For example, 50 wains of mithril is required to create a great work that raises the level of investment for [[mana site|mana sites]] to one. The table shows the ''total'' costs in wains for the first four levels of investment, with the ''total'' benefits, but there is no limit to how high the level of investment can be lifted in a territory. The costs and benefits continue to rise at the rates shown for subsequent levels.

<tr><td>1</td><td>50</td><td>36 rings</td><td>2</td><td>3</td><td>1</td><td>2</td><td>1</td></tr>
<tr><td>2</td><td>125</td><td>72 rings</td><td>4</td><td>6</td><td>2</td><td>4</td><td>2</td></tr>

<tr><td>4</td><td>350</td><td>144 rings</td><td>8</td><td>12</td><td>4</td><td>8</td><td>4</td></tr>
</table>

==Limitations==
* '''Great works can never provide additional votes in the Synod'''
* '''Great works supporting fleets can only be built in coastal regions and can only boost trade with a foreign nation'''
* '''Military units cannot benefit from a standard great work'''
Great works that raise the level of investment for congregations only provide additional liao - it is not possible for a great work to provide additional votes in the Synod.

Great works that benefit fleets can only be built in a region with the coastal [[Region qualities|quality]]. A great work that benefits fleets raises the effective level of the fleet when trading with a foreign nation. It is not possible to use a great work to raise the level of a fleet for other downtime options without an appropriate [[opportunity]].

It is not possible to create a great work which is linked to military units without an appropriate opportunity.

Great works cannot be upgraded, but the Imperial Senate may create a new commission that acts to further raise the level of investment in a territory for a specific type of resource.

==Responsibility==
Great works can be threatened by barbarians on campaign, in a battle, or on a skirmish. In rare cases where someone must take responsibility for a great work, the Senator for a territory is expected to do so, if no Imperial title is associated with the commission.

==Multiple Great Works==
Great works cannot be upgraded, but the Imperial Senate may create a new commission to build a subsequent great work in a territory that acts to further raise the level of investment for a specific type of resource there. For instance, the shipyards at Madruga raise the level of investment in Madruga to one for all businesses providing them 36 additional rings. The Senate could authorise the creation of a vast rope works in Siroc in Madruga that would lift the level of investment to two, costing 75 wains and providing an additional 36 rings.

The level of investment in a territory is separate for each type of personal resource that is affected, so if the Empire built a series of canals in Madruga that raised the level of investment for farms that would cost 50 wains and provide 36 rings to every farm.

It is not possible to commission a new great work that increases investment in a given resource while another great work increasing investment in the same resource is in progress in the same territory. The original great work commission would need to be completed, abrogated, or lapse before the new great work could be commissioned. This does not prevent the commissioning of a new great work that targets a different resource to an existing commission that is currently underway.

==Opportunities==
A wind of fortune may present an [[opportunity]] to construct a great work which exceeds some of the normal rules presented here. It may raise the level of investment in more than one territory at once, or for more than one type of personal resource at once.

An opportunity will always state how many levels of investment it represents (usually one) but it may provide non-standard benefits, for example a wind of fortune might present plans for a seed bank, a great work that could be built in Miaren that would increase the level of investment by one for herb gardens but provide all herb gardens with 30 rings. Additional great works built in the territory treat the seed bank as if it were a standard great work that had already raised the level of investment by one for herb gardens in Miaren.
==Great Lighthouses==
* '''A ''great lighthouse'' would be a great work benefitting fleets'''
* '''Standard costs would be 40 wains of weirwood or white granite and 10 wains of mithril, to provide the first level of investment in a territory'''
* '''A lighthouse that supports fleets must be built in a region with the coastal quality'''
Following the Summer 387YE [[For_those_in_peril_on_the_sea#A_Welcoming_Beacon|symposium on lighthouses]] called by [[Appraisal#Eilian_Sweetwater|Eilian Sweetwater]], Imperial architects pooled their knowledge on the construction of lighthouses. A ''great lighthouse'' would be a massive structure of white granite or weirwood with mithril mirrors at the top, and may incorporate a boat station operated by volunteers who seek to preserve life in the case of a disaster. This kind of lighthouse is a specific [[great work]] that benefits [[fleet|fleets]]. It is effectively an [[opportunity]] available to anyone who can commission a great work.

A ''great lighthouse'' must be built in a region with the [[Region_qualities#Coastal|coastal]] quality. The lighthouse represents a level of investment in [[fleet|fleets]] based in the territory. A lighthouse uses a combination of either weirwood and white granite, and an amount of mithril for the mirrors. Adding the first level of investment takes 40 wains of weirwood or white granite, and 10 wains of mithril. Lighthouses adding higher levels of investment need proportionally more mithril and either white granite or weirwood.

This kind of lighthouse receives a paragraph on the appropriate territory page, as well as adding an entire rank to the effectiveness of any fleet based in the territory that takes a [[Fleet#Trading|trading]] action during downtime. The weakness of such a great work is that it is relatively easy to damage if the region where it is built is captured by an enemy. The practical nature of the [[Grendel]] means they are broadly unlikely to do such a thing - Governor Rahab's anger and greed making him an exception - but the Children of Wrecks actively enjoy destroying lighthouses.

'''OOC Note:''' A ''great lighthouse'' is a specific example of a great work that can be built with non-standard materials, and can only be constructed in a region with a specific quality. Anyone who can commission a great work could specify that they are building a great lighthouse. The amounts given here are for the first level of investment in fleets in a territory; higher levels of investment will require proportionally more materials.

==Current Great Works==
This table includes all great works which are active at the present. This list was last updated following the Summer Solstice 388YE.

List of Criminal Offences

2026-08-18T20:16:50Z

Emmanovi: /* Religious Crimes */ Removed reference to condemnation, which no longer exists

==Overview==
The definitions of the crimes are brief, but this reflects the laws of the setting. Crimes are based on simple principles and are addressed by following the spirit of the law rather than complex technical arguments. The magistrates will do their best to interpret and apply the law with the pursuit of justice and the imperial interest as their goal. Justice is intended to be swift but fair and to be available to all without the need for lawyers to interpret what the law means to the ordinary citizen. Please note that the law usually refers to a "person" but who actually benefits from protection under the law can be found [[Imperial_Law_Overview|here]]. Any exceptions to this are referred to explicitly in the definitions below e.g. for treason.

==Crimes against the Person==
* Murder: Unlawful assault or other action against a person with intent to kill and which results in someone’s death.
* Manslaughter: Unlawful assault or other action against a person which results in someone’s death.
* Assault: Unlawfully striking a person.

There is a traditional defence to an assault charge which applies where unwelcome visitors who refuse to leave your camp are cut down, removed from camp and then provided with sufficient medical assistance to avoid permanent injury. One who is accused of assault but wishes to claim this defence should plead not guilty if it goes to trial. However, if the magistrate decides that the accused’s behaviour was unreasonable they will be found guilty.

Remember that persons who consent to do so can fight each other without fear of legal sanction, provided that nobody is seriously hurt and they are not causing a public order issue.
* Mayhem: Unlawfully maiming or mutilating a person.
* Poisoning: Introducing or applying a poisonous substance or effect to a person which causes them harm.
* False Imprisonment: Unlawfully detaining a person against their will. Suspects must be directly supervised during any period of lawful custody.
* Malsanguino: Willfully preventing someone from receiving medical attention with the intention of causing them harm.
Note that malsanguino does not apply where somebody simply refuses to provide medical attention.
* Slavery: Unlawfully holding the power of life and liberty over any person. The direct [[Amend_crime_of_slavery|purchase]] and sale of slaves is also illegal but this does not encompass the repatriation or ransoming of Imperial citizens.

It is worth noting that [[Orc|orcs]] were redefined as people when they became [[Imperial Orcs|a nation of the Empire]]. Whether a person is a citizen or not is irrelevant, so it is also illegal to enslave barbarian orcs. In Winter 382 the constitution was amended as part of the [[Ratify_Liberty_Pact|Liberty Pact]] to define hylje and daeva as people.

A note on piracy: Although there is currently no crime specifically relating to acts of piracy, in practice this activity falls under the crimes of assault, theft, criminal damage, murder and so on. Be aware that acts of piracy committed against [[Imperial_Law_Overview#Individuals and the law|foreigners]] by imperial citizens will be investigated as criminal acts.

==Crimes of Property==
* Theft: Dishonestly appropriating property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it. The burden is on the accused to satisfy the magistrate as to their intention to return the property.
* Handling Stolen Goods: Receiving or disposing of goods which you know or believe to be stolen.
* Counterfeiting: The falsifying, or unlawfully creating or amending of an imperial document or legal tender.
* Criminal Damage: Unlawfully destroying or damaging any property either belonging to another person or to the Empire. Magistrates often refuse to bring to trial cases involving accidents or claims of negligence, preferring such cases to be held in the civil courts. Criminal damage to Imperial property is almost always dealt with in the criminal courts however.
* Possession or supply of controlled substances or items:
** It is illegal to carry the substance [[Legacy of Thorns#Gutwrench|gutwrench]].
**The [[Potion#Poisons|poisons]] created by [[Surgical skills#Apothecary|apothecaries]] using the lores of [[The Assassin's Gate]], [[The Winter Moon]], and [[The Last Resort]] are likewise illegal.
**The blasphemous [[:Category:Musical_Instruments|musical instruments]] known as Drums of Strife, Harbinger of Chaos, and Horns of Madness are illegal.
**The drugs [[Create_law_prohibiting_Bite|"Bite"]] and [[385YE Winter Solstice Senate sessions#Criminalise Ocean's Caress|"Ocean's Caress"]] are also illegal.
*[[Outlaw Vallorn cultivation|Vallorn cultivation]]: It is illegal to cultivate vallorn. Note: Magical interactions with vallorn may fall under the Conclave's constitutional remit to ensure the fit and proper use of magic in the service of the Empire. Magistrates who investigate a potential offence of vallorn cultivation will seek expert testimony from the Conclave in cases where the position is unclear. For example, planting or tending a vallorn is very likely to be interpreted to be vallorn cultivation but harvesting magical ingredients from a naturally occurring vallorn pod may or may not be.
*[[Outlaw foreign True Liao trade|Trade of true liao to foreigners]]: It is illegal to trade [[Liao#True_Liao|true liao]] to anyone who is not an Imperial citizen. [[Amend_law_regarding_foreign_True_Liao_trade|However]], the distribution of true liao by the gatekeepers of virtue, for no payment, does not constitute "Trade" for this purpose.
* [[Ratify_treaty_with_the_Iron_Confederacy|Liao trade to the Iron Confederacy]]: It is illegal for imperial citizens to sell or trade liao to the Iron Confederacy via ports or the Suranni-Imperial border.
*[[385YE_Summer_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Create_law_criminalising_Semmerlak_items|Semmerlak items]]: It is illegal to own, take, or sell any object from the depths of [[The Semmerlak|the Semmerlak]].

*[[386YE_Summer_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Ratify_Treaty_with_the_Iron_Confederacy|Narcotics trade to the Iron Confederacy]]: The sale of export of any and all narcotics to the Iron Confederacy is prohibited. The magistrates interpret this to mean any drug that affects mood or behaviour and whose function is not medical treatment. Note: Although this was passed with the intention of a three year term, this law will stand until it is actively repealed by the Senate. The magistrates have compiled a list of known narcotics that may not be exported to the Iron Confederacy. If other narcotics are identified by the magistrates later, they will be added to the list.
*[[387YE_Summer_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Criminalise_Cannibalism|Cannibalism]]: It is illegal to disburse, trade, sell or consume the flesh of the sapient denizens of the mortal realm. This has specific implications for Sarcophan funerary traditions and the Sarcophan drug "visivlees" which is made from the flesh of sapient creatures.

==Crimes of Position==
* Treason: Aiding barbarians, [[eternal|eternals]] or foreign powers to act against the interests of the Empire. Committing an assault against the emperor or empress. Only citizens and former citizens of the Empire may be charged with treason. There is some magistrate's guidance on interactions with eternals [[treason guidance|here]]. We do not prosecute bona fide ransoms for exchange of prisoners as such prosecutions are judged not to be within the imperial interest.
* Impersonation of an Imperial Official: Falsely and dishonestly claiming to be a senator, civil servant, member of the militia etc. Any person who with intent to deceive impersonates an official of the Empire or does any act calculated falsely to suggest that they are, shall be found guilty of this crime.
* Dereliction of Duty: Volunteering for an imperial duty and then failing to carry it out through neglect or cowardice. Members of the Militia are expected to act in accordance with their duties when they observe a crime in progress or about to occur. Anyone who takes the battlefield and then shows conspicuous cowardice in the face of the enemy may also be tried for this offence. This offence does not relate to the abuse of an imperial position, which is within the remit of the Synod.
* Membership of an Illegal Organisation: being a member of an organisation which has been banned by the Senate. In some instances, the Senate has placed additional restrictions.
** It is [[Create_law_outlawing_the_Vyig|illegal]] to be a member of the [[Vyig]], or to bear their tattoos.
** It is [[384YE_Spring_Equinox_Senate_sessions#Make_membership_of_Hand_of_Dumon_a_crime|illegal]] to be a member of the Hand of Dumon, or to aid them.
** It is [[387YE_Summer_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Criminalise_Cult_of_the_Falconer|illegal]] to be a member of the Cult of the Falconer.
** It is [[387YE_Autumn_Equinox_Senate_sessions#Criminalise_Disciples_of_Sulemaine|a serious crime]] to be a member of the Disciples of Sulemaine.

==Crimes against the Processes of the State==
* Contempt of Court: any behaviour which impedes the proper operation of the legal process. For example, being disruptive during a trial or disrespectful of the magistrate's authority, failing to attend court (or any other relevant meeting with a magistrate), and failing to obey the lawful order of a magistrate.
* Perverting the Course of Justice: any behaviour calculated to unduly affect the course of the judicial process. For example, bearing false witness, making false allegations, concealing offences or assisting others to evade arrest, interference with witnesses or evidence and evading, withholding or perverting a lawful punishment.
* Subverting agencies of the state: any behaviour which contravenes or subverts the constitutionally protected procedures or powers of an agency of the state.

''For example:'' rigging or ineligible participation in the national election of senators (such as a yeofolk disguising their identity to enter a grand tourney for the position of knight-protector), a senator entering the Military Council to interfere with their military strategies, a member of the synod being refused the right to witness (without cause), a failure to attend lawful inquisition, ignoring the decision of an [[Sentinel_Gate#Prognostication|identified citizen]] to go through the Sentinel Gate and so on. This crime does not apply to the abuse of constitutionally granted powers by the person or body who is entitled to wield them.

* Resisting Arrest: Any course of action with the intent to oppose a lawful arrest.
* Contravening a [[Declaration#Declaration of Sorcery|Declaration of Sorcery]]: breaching the [[Sorcery|prohibitions]] placed upon a sorcerer is a serious crime.
* Contravening a [[Declaration#Declaration of Interdiction|Declaration of Interdiction]]: breaching the [[Interdiction|prohibitions]] placed upon interdicted magic is a serious crime.
*Improper placement of an aura on the senate building: The placing of an aura on the senate building without prior explicit permission from the Senate.
*Improper placement of an aura on the civil service hub: The placing of an aura on the civil service hub without prior explicit permission from the magistrates and civil servants.

==Religious Crimes==
The Synod defines certain acts as religious crimes through the judgement of [[proscription]], which are then enforced by the magistrates.
* [[Religious_Crimes#Idolatry|Idolatry]]: Subsuming human will and destiny to any inhuman entity or force. This includes the worship, veneration or exaltation of any such being or power.
* [[Religious_Crimes#Blasphemy|Blasphemy]]:The denigration of the paragons and the paths of virtue. This includes promoting false virtues and the teachings, or example, of false exemplars or False Paragons.
* [[Religious_Crimes#Heresy|Heresy]]: The willful rejection, or perversion of, the orthodox Doctrines of the Faith as laid down by the Imperial Synod, or actively teaching and promoting false doctrines.
* [[Religious_Crimes#Abuse_of_Powers|Abuse of Powers]]: The misuse, or abuse, of the powers of a priest. This includes the powers of the Synod, as well as liao ceremonies.
* [[Religious_Crimes#Desecration|Desecration]]: The removal of spontaneously created virtuous auras such as legacies of ascendance to paragonhood. This includes such auras arising on areas and objects, and on those people who do not wished them removed.

==What isn’t a criminal offence?==
* '''Fraud:''' Dishonesty calculated for personal gain. However be aware that a victim might raise a civil case in these circumstances.
* '''Blackmail:''' Using threats to make a gain or to cause a loss to another.
* '''Bribery:''' Anyone can try to pay another citizen to get them to do as they wish without breaking the law - however it is a serious offence to attempt to pervert the course of justice
* '''Slander and Libel:''' Making disparaging and false statements about another in public.
* '''Use of magic:''' Using magic on another person is never in and of itself a crime. However if the effect of the magic meets the definition of a crime then the fact that this effect was achieved by magic is no defence. ''For example,'' a curse of poverty doesn't meet the definition of any criminal offence but a death curse most certainly does. The Conclave are responsible for overseeing the proper operation of magic and have powers which allow them to both take action against those who use it [[Sorcery|inappropriately]] and to [[Endorsement|endorse]] magical acts to prevent them from being treated as crimes by the magistrates.

==Five things about criminal offences==
* '''Attempt to Commit a Crime:''' An attempt to commit a crime will be tried in the same way as if they had committed the crime but may (or may not) result in a lesser sentence.
* '''Aiding and Abetting of Crime:''' Encouraging, soliciting or helping with the perpetration of a crime. This will be tried in the same way as if the accused had committed the crime but may (or may not) result in a lesser sentence.
* '''Consent:''' It is possible for willing participants to give consent so that what would otherwise be crimes being committed against them are not. ''For example:'' two individuals who have agreed to spar with weapons would not be guilty of assault for striking each other. It is considered wise to make such terms clear in the event that there is a disagreement later. While duelling is permitted it is not possible to consent to your own murder (but a priest for the surviving party might make a plea for clemency based on the reasons for the duel).
* '''Lawful Arrest:''' If an ordinary citizen or member of the militia who believes another person has committed a crime apprehends them, then the law provides some protection against crimes (for example, assault) associated with this act. However, if a magistrate decides that their actions were disproportionate or that it was not reasonable to believe that the person apprehended had committed a crime then this protection will not apply. If a citizen wishes to claim this defence at trial then they should plead not guilty.
* '''Self-defence:''' If a person reasonably believes that their property or the safety of themselves or others is in immediate jeopardy then they may use reasonable force in order to protect them. If someone wishes to claim this defence at trial then they should plead not guilty. The magistrate will determine whether their behaviour was reasonable and if she decides that it was not then the accused will be found guilty. Claims of self-defence will also fail where the accused is already engaged on a course of criminal activity or is subject to lawful arrest. Using a claim of self-defence to justify protecting a barbarian will very likely fail unless the Magistrate is satisfied that the accused reasonably believed that the victim was entitled to [[Imperial_Law_Overview#Individuals and the law|protection under the law]].

Gatekeeper

2026-08-18T20:15:41Z

Emmanovi: /* Responsibilities */ Updated to remove reference to condemnation

{{CaptionedImage|file=Gatekeeper's Counsel.jpg|caption=The gatekeepers often engage in intense discussion on the allocation of true liao.|align=left|width=500}}
==Overview==
Each of the seven cardinals of virtue appoints a single gatekeeper. Although there is no formal relationship between the [[cardinal]] and their gatekeeper, they often work closely together sharing the burdens of providing leadership to those who follow their Virtue. They are generally referred to as "Gatekeeper of (Virtue)".

The gatekeepers have no formal [[assembly]] - but there is often an unofficial council of gatekeepers where they meet to discuss matters of faith and decide on the allocation of the Empire's bounty of [[Liao#True_Liao|True Liao]].

==Responsibilities==
The gatekeepers are responsible for determining who receives the precious, and limited supply of true liao. They are expected to choose someone of obvious virtue to receive each dose. Normally, a dose of true liao is used to experience a past life vision, but there are several other uses to which it can be put. Regardless of the wishes of the gatekeepers, the law is crystal clear. The gift of true liao is a reward from the Synod for virtuous behaviour, and the recipient is free to put it to any legal use they wish.

In practice, each gatekeeper tends to take their own approach to the title. Some act as an unofficial proxy to the cardinal who appointed them, working in their interests to support the faith. But sometimes they take the opposite approach. When a virtue assembly is split politically or over doctrine, the cardinal may agree to appoint someone with opposing views as gatekeeper. Some restrict their role to seeking out suitable candidates for true liao - but during the time of [[Emperor Ahraz]] for example, the gatekeepers operated as an unofficial body overseeing [[inquisition]] and [[castigation]], organizing other priests to root out perceived corruption in the Senate and Military Council.

<div style="float:right;"><quote by="Marcher Proverb">First deserve it, then desire it.</quote></div>

==Powers==
===Keepers of True Liao===
The gatekeepers are responsible for determining how [[Liao#True_Liao|true liao]] will be distributed. The legal requirement for a decision is for a majority of the gatekeepers (four) to inform the civil service of the single decision on who will receive each of the available doses of true liao. By custom, the gatekeepers often seek a unanimous decision but this is not required - the names of four gatekeepers appended to a written document detailing who will receive each dose is sufficient. Once the decision is made, it cannot be changed; a ruling instituted during the reign of [[Empress Brannan]] following several high-profile murders.

By longstanding tradition, the gatekeepers meet as a group to discuss candidates, but there is no formal meeting organised by the Civil Service. Though they are rare, there have been periods of Imperial history when the gatekeepers have been unable to agree a single candidate.

Usually, the gatekeepers will meet informally to agree their choices, acting as a defacto body similar to the Senate or the Conclave. This reflects the intent of the laws passed at the time and scholars have noted the similarity with a greater majority in the Synod. But no council has ever been formally established by [[Senate motion]], and attempts to pass Senate motions that share a power between other title holders, outside of one of the five great houses of the Empire, have always been ruled unconstitutional. Many modern constitutional scholars question whether the titles would pass [[scrutiny]] today. The complex constitutional challenges posed by the existence of the gatekeepers has thwarted all attempts to put the allocation of liao on a more secure legal basis.
==Appointment==
Each gatekeeper is [[Cardinal#Appoint_the_Gatekeeper|appointed]] by the appropriate [[cardinal]]. A gatekeeper must be a member of the virtue [[assembly]] they represent. Unlike many titles, if a new cardinal is appointed they may immediately reappoint the appropriate gatekeeper.

It is heavily frowned upon to name a gatekeeper from the same nation as the cardinal. This custom dates back to the creation of the gatekeepers. Any cardinal who breaks the tradition risks the suspicion of their colleagues and the [[revocation|censure]] of their fellow priests. It can be difficult for such a gatekeeper to gain the respect of their peers, especially if they are a member of the same household as their cardinal.

The cardinal of a Virtue Assembly - excluding the Assembly of The Way - has the right to appoint a member of their assembly as gatekeeper.

Every time a new cardinal is elected the cardinal may choose to replace or retain the existing gatekeeper.

A gatekeeper serves until they die, step down, or a new cardinal is elected and chooses a new appointee. It is important to note that once appointed the cardinal cannot choose to simply remove their appointed gatekeeper from office. Only a successful re-election or revocation allows a cardinal to appoint a new Gatekeeper.

A gatekeeper can be [[Revocation|revoked]] by the [[Assembly#General_Assembly|General Assembly]], and by the appropriate [[Assembly#The_Virtue_Assemblies|Virtue Assembly]].
<box>'''The History of the Gatekeepers'''<br>
In the early days of the Empire, the allocation of true liao was controlled by use of the judgement of [[rewarding]]. Unfortunately, the rarity of true liao led to increasing conflict within the Synod as priests squabbled over the precious material. The disposition of true liao became such an important political issue it started to dominate the Synod, leaving them less focused on their role as spiritual advisers to the Empire. This state of affairs continued to deteriorate until 72YE, when [[Empress Teleri]] - as part of her overhaul of the Synod - worked with the [[Senate]] to address the issue.

The cardinals proposed to move control of true liao to the Assembly of Nine, but Empress Teleri resisted passionately. She saw no advantage in allowing the often deeply political cardinals to directly control access to true liao - she wanted the decision about who would have access to the substance to be spiritually, rather than politically motivated. In the end a compromise was reached and a separate title of gatekeeper was created. One gatekeeper was appointed by each cardinal and they would decide the disposition of the liao together. Teleri attempted to make it a legal requirement that the gatekeeper could not be from the same nation as their cardinal, but the Constitutional Court ruled this to be unconstitutional, much to her chagrin. Empress Teleri was able to make her requirements known - but was unable to legally enforce them.

The prominence of the gatekeepers has waxed and waned. During times where the Synod is especially active, the gatekeepers often work closely with the cardinals, almost like additional proxies. While they have no specific legal powers in this area (beyond those available to every member of the Synod), they are often called on to represent their virtue assembly when the cardinal, or their proxy, is busy with other matters. There have been repeated incidents where corrupt, weak, or unpopular cardinals have been displaced by their own gatekeepers - this is seen as evidence that the system works, that the gatekeepers also keep a close watch on the cardinals for signs that they have abandoned spirituality in pursuit of political power.</box>

Excommunication

2026-08-18T20:09:08Z

Emmanovi: /* Overview */ Updated to remove reference to condemnation

{{Disambiguation|This page covers the ceremonial skill; for the [[Synod]] [[judgement]] see [[Writ of Excommunication]].}}
==Overview==
Excommunication prevents the victim from using any ceremony that requires [[liao]]. The effect is visible as an indelible mark to those with [[insight]], and it is permanent in nature. Without outside intervention, the target will never be able to use liao again - and cannot access [[magic items]] such as [[Labyrinthine Vestments]] that would normally allow one to perform a ceremony without actually consuming liao. Characters with the same virtue can cooperate to perform an excommunication to create a stronger effect or to remove an existing one. A stronger excommunication is more difficult to remove.

The ceremony itself is used sparingly; there has been a significant amount of discussion in the [[Synod]] about the potential damage using this ceremony might do to the soul of the target. It is not Synod doctrine, but it is a common belief that anyone who dies while under the influence of the ceremony of excommunication is condemned to walk the Labyrinth for all eternity, cut off from the cycle of reincarnation.

The evidence to support this belief is far from conclusive. There is a surviving record from the time of [[Empress Teleri]] that claims to report the failure of a dose of true liao stolen by a citizen who had been excommunicated. In addition those who have studied such things claim that there are no records of any past life visions involving individuals who were known to have been excommunicated before they died. However the extent of available records is extremely limited following Nicovar's destruction of the libraries.

Regardless, it is clear that the ceremony does not seem to have any lasting effect on the soul of a target; it does not remove the effects of [[dedication]] or [[testimony]], for example, and examination of a subject with [[insight]] after an excommunication has been removed shows no sign that the ceremony had ever been invoked.

Within the Empire, there are legal ramifications to the use of excommunication. If the target has not been issued a [[Writ of Excommunication|writ of excommunication]], this may constitute the religious crime of [[Religious_Crimes#Abuse_of_Powers|abuse of powers]].

Being subject to this ceremony severs a person from connection to spiritual power, but does not in itself prevent them participating in the Imperial Synod - it is the possession of a [[congregation]] that assures access to the Synod. Indeed, they can still be [[dedication|dedicated]] to a virtue, even if they cannot employ the ceremonies of a priest.

==Performance==
* '''Requires a dose of liao and at least ten seconds appropriate roleplaying'''
* '''Requires the presence and assistance of a referee'''
* '''Creates an excommunication'''
* '''The target must be present for the ceremony and close enough to touch by one of the priests.'''

Excommunicating a character uses a dose of [[liao]]. Performing an excommunication requires at least ten seconds of appropriate roleplaying.

The target does not need to be willing, but must be present and close enough to be touched when the ceremony is performed.

==Effects==
* '''The target is prevented from using any [[religious skills|religious skill]] and cannot experience a past life vision'''
* '''The [[insight]] ceremony will reveal the presence of an excommunication'''
* '''The excommunication is permanent unless removed'''
* '''Orcs cannot be excommunicated'''
The target of excommunication cannot use any [[religious skills]]; cannot access magic items that would allow them to perform a priest skill; cannot use [[Liao#True Liao|true liao]] to receive a past life vision; and cannot serve as a guide priest on a past life vision. Furthermore, they do not dream (or do not remember their dreams), although they can still have magical dreams such as those provided by [[Sift the Dreamscape's Sands]] or [[Dreamscape of the Endless Hunt]].

In addition, they suffer a persistent [[roleplaying effect]]: they feel uneasy, and have a sense of being disconnected from the world.

The [[Religious skills#Ceremony Strength|strength]] of the excommunication determines how difficult it is to replace or remove the effect. The presence and strength of an excommunication effect is visible using the [[insight]] ceremony.

The target may still be subject to priest skills, such as [[testimony]], [[dedication]] and [[anointing]], as normal. An excommunication does not remove existing dedication, testimonies, or other auras.

As with any aura, you can only be under the effect of one excommunication at once. An existing excommunication can only be replaced by one with a higher strength.

==Removal==
* '''Excommunication is permanent unless removed.'''
* '''The excommunication skill can be used to reconnect an excommunicated target with their spiritual power.'''

The effect of excommunication persists until it is removed. The excommunication skill can be used to reconnect a target to their spiritual power, removing an existing excommunication. The ceremony must have a strength at least equal to that of the existing excommunication.

==True Liao==
* '''True liao can be used in place of liao to perform the excommunication ceremony.'''
<onlyinclude>You can use true liao in place of normal liao to perform a true excommunication. This resulting excommunication is equivalent to a [[Aura#Strong_Auras|true aura]]; it cannot be removed except with an effect that also includes a dose of true liao or substance of equivalent potency.</onlyinclude>

Recognition

2026-08-18T19:41:03Z

Emmanovi: /* Outcome */ Removed reference to condemnation, which no longer exists

{{Synod Judgement Summary|Virtue Assembly, General Assembly|Greater Majority}}
{{CaptionedImage|file=Cardinal Pride.png|title=Paragons!|caption=Only the Imperial Synod has the authority to recognise [[paragons and exemplars]] of the Way.|align=left|width=450}}
==Overview==
[[Paragons and exemplars]] are inspirations - significant figures of virtue from across history who have embodied the [[The Way|virtues]] and demonstrated their worth. They serve a crucial role in providing both inspiration and guidance, as citizens are encouraged to emulate their achievements. Recognising an inspiration is thus a crucial role of the [[Synod]] that helps to define [[The Way]] in the most practical terms.

Only the Imperial Synod has the authority to officially recognise that a figure has met the [[signs of the paragon and exemplar]] and thus qualifies as a hero of the faith. To do so, the Synod must identify which single virtue the inspiration best exemplifies. There are some notable figures in Imperial history who have never been recognised simply because the Synod cannot agree which virtue should claim them.

The General [[Assembly]] may also use a judgement of recognition to confirm that new evidence has come to light that disputes the status of an exemplar or paragon. If this judgement of recognition passes, then the status of the exemplar or paragon is removed.

==Judgement==
A judgement of recognition must be raised and passed by the relevant virtue [[assembly]] with a greater majority. To be legally binding, the judgement must identify the nominee and explicitly state whether they are a paragon or exemplar and which [[signs of the paragon and exemplar]] the individual has met.

If a valid judgement of recognition is passed by the greater majority of a virtue assembly then it is automatically escalated to the General Assembly. The judgement is raised by the [[Tribune of the Synod]] in the name of the priest who brought the original judgement of recognition. This second judgement will run until 2pm on the final day of the summit, provided that gives time for sufficient [[judgement#scrutiny|scrutiny]], otherwise the deadline will be 2pm on the final day of the following summit.

To be successful, a judgement of recognition of an exemplar requires the lesser majority of the General Assembly to vote in favour. To recognise a paragon requires that the General Assembly pass the judgement with a greater majority. A judgement to recognise a paragon that passes the General Assembly with a lesser majority but fails to achieve a greater majority is considered to fail - it does not pass as an exemplar.

It is also possible for the Synod to use a judgement of recognition to formally recognise someone as a false paragon or exemplar; either of a specific false virtue or as someone whose influence and teachings are considered to be anathema to the Way. A judgement of recognition which recognises a false paragon or exemplar can only be raised in the General Assembly and in both cases requires a greater majority to pass. A judgement of recognition used to recognise someone as a false paragon or exemplar does not have the legal requirement to name the [[signs of the paragon and exemplar]] that the individual has met. If a Virtue Assembly wished to recognise someone as an exemplar or paragon who had previously been judged to be a false exemplar or paragon there would first need to be a judgement of recognition passed in the General Assembly explicitly reversing their judgement, which would again require a greater majority.
<div style="float: right;"><quote by="Marcher Proverb">If you eat apples from every orchard, you'll run for a week.</quote></div>

==Outcome==
If the judgement is successful then the individual is recognised is an exemplar or paragon of virtue. The approval of the Synod means that priests throughout the Empire may legally cite the life of the individual and recount their deeds as part of their work exhorting citizens to virtue. Without this judgement it would constitute an act of [[religious crime#blasphemy|blasphemy]] to promote them as an exemplar or paragon.

If an individual receives the recognition of the Synod, then it is legal for an Imperial citizen to create a memorial to honour their life. If there is sufficient support to deserve a dose of true liao to devote to the memory of the exemplar or paragon - then it can be used to create a [[inspirational location|wondrous consecration]] that will ultimately draw pilgrims from all over the Empire, and beyond. If that happens, then the tale of the exemplar or paragon's deeds will be immortalized as they spread to the corners of the world and they will become [[Paragons_and_exemplars#Renown|renowned]].

The simplest tomb requires no great materials - but it is possible to [[commission]] a grand structure through the Senate if the figure is sufficiently popular that there is support for something more expensive. The '''Custodes Clavium''' are a Highborn chapter based in [[Bastion]], dedicated to recording the lives of exemplars and paragons as well as those who have sat on [[the Throne]]. If a citizen sends a Winged Messenger to ''Exarch Sarah of the Custodes Clavium at the Basilica of Seven Doors'' in [[Bastion]], informing her of the decision of the Synod, then she is likely to send a representative to speak with the priest who raised the judgement to learn more. If the Custodes are satisfied that the judgement is sound then they will offer to assist in the construction of a suitable church in the memory of the exemplar or paragon. They do not have white granite or weirwood to spare - but they do have many skilled architects and builders who can facilitate the construction of the sinecure in Bastion such that it does not need the support of the Imperial civil service (so it does not count as one of the [[Commission#New_Commissions|twelve commissions]] that the civil service can support each summit). If the priest is unable to convince the Custodes Clavium to help then they would need to convince the Senate to devote the resources to any commission they chose to undertake.

<ic>In the Winter of 377YE, the Senate amended the way in which Exemplars are recognised, in line with reforms proposed by Hywel Summercrow in a statement of principle put to the Synod on the Autumn of 377YE.</ic>

Writ of Excommunication

2026-08-18T19:35:27Z

Emmanovi: /* List of Excommunicated Citizens */ reformatted dates; clarified not included Acceptance

{{disambiguation|This page concerns the legal power of the [[Synod]]. The [[religious skills|religious skill]] of excommunication is found [[excommunication|here]].}}
{{Synod Judgement Summary|General Assembly|Greater Majority}}
{{CaptionedImage|file=Wrath of the Synod.jpg|caption=The writ of excommunication is the wrath of the Synod made manifest.|align=left|width=350}}
==Overview==
The most feared power of the Imperial Synod is the writ of excommunication. If the judgement is successful it has devastating consequences for the subject who is no longer eligible to hold an Imperial title and who may then be excommunicated from the Imperial faith. Because of the far reaching consequences of a writ of excommunication, it can only be passed by greater majority of the General Assembly.
__TOC__
==Judgement==
A writ of excommunication requires a judgement by the General Assembly. The priest who raises the judgement must specify a single named individual, usually an Imperial citizen. It is possible to issue a writ of excommunication against a foreign citizen or even an inhabitant of the realms, but it rarely has anything more than symbolic effect.

When a judgement of excommunication is submitted, the Tribune is responsible for informing the subject of the judgement. Usually they will send a messenger to find the citizen to ask them to attend the Hub so that they can be briefed on the development.

A judgement to issue a writ of excommunication requires a greater majority to pass.

<div style="float:right;"><quote by="Marcher Proverb">Nothing dries faster than a tear.</quote></div>

==Outcome==
If a character is issued with a writ of excommunication by the Imperial Synod then they immediately lose any [[Imperial title]] they currently hold. They are no longer eligible for consideration for any Imperial title, regardless of whether it is a national or Imperial position.

If the subject is not present in the Hub for the verdict, then it is the responsibility of the Tribune to inform them of the outcome of the judgement. It is common for Synod members to confront a citizen to issue them with the writ of excommunication personally - to explain the decision and potentially to perform the ceremony of excommunication. In this case, the Tribune will usually attempt to accompany the Synod members so that they can appraise the citizen of their status and their options.

If the Synod do not wish to convey the writ themselves, then the Tribune will usually send word to ask the citizen to attend the hub, or attend the next meeting of the Senate, Military Council or Conclave if the citizen holds a title there. Although the excommunicated citizen no longer has the authority to use the legal powers of their title at the point where the judgement is passed, it is only a crime if they continue to do so after they have been informed of the judgement. A priest who wishes to ensure this does not happen is well advised to take the time to inform the recipient themselves.

If the election of the title is scheduled by the civil service or the Tribune of the Synod, then they will schedule a new election as quickly as possible, provided that there is sufficient time remaining that summit to ensure that the majority of citizens who are eligible to vote will have a chance to do so. Otherwise the election will be scheduled for the following summit.

Spiritually, an excommunicated person is held to be beyond redemption. Ceremonies performed upon a citizen who is the subject of a writ of excommunication are exempt from any investigation or accusation of the religious crime of [[Religious Crimes|abuse of powers]]. This is primarily intended to enable the use of the excommunication ceremony. A few claim that excommunication may prohibit their soul's passage through the Labyrinth and deny their reincarnation, but this change of doctrine has been rejected by the Synod on more than one occasion.

The Synod has the legal right to claim any [[Game items#Coins|money]] the character possesses when the writ is delivered, but does not have the right to claim any future income or other goods such as wains of mithril, weirwood or white granite, [[Game items#Mana Crystals|crystal mana]] or [[magical items]]. An excommunicated character may still operate their personal resource and will continue to receive the production along with their [[Downtime#Income|income]] at the start of each event.
==Removal (Acceptance)==
This judgement may also be used to reconcile someone who has been excommunicated with the Imperial Synod. Such a use of the writ is often referred to as a ''judgement of acceptance''. A Writ of Excommunication is rarely used in this form, so infrequently that no requirement for a separate judgement was considered necessary.

The judgement is raised in the general assembly as normal, and as with the judgement required to place the writ it requires a greater majority. If the judgement passes in this form, the excommunication is removed. The subject regains the right to be considered for an Imperial title, and is no longer considered "fair game" for the use of ceremonial skills. They do not have the right to demand the return of any confiscated goods, and do not automatically regain any former title.

As with the original writ, if the subject is not present in the hub when the judgement passes it is the responsibility of the Tribune to inform them of the outcome of the judgement as above.
<quote by="Stormcrow Vigg, upon serving a writ of excommunication upon the Troubadour Alayna">"Alayna, you are without remorse. Without worth. Without virtue. You have broken no law by which you may face justice, but by the judgement of the Synod, you are the lowest of the low and unworthy to look any true citizen in the eye."</quote>

==Overview==
The most feared power of the Imperial Synod is the writ of excommunication. If the judgement is successful it has devastating consequences for the subject who is no longer eligible to hold an Imperial title and who may then be excommunicated from the Imperial faith. Because of the far reaching consequences of a writ of excommunication, it can only be passed by greater majority of the General Assembly.
__TOC__
==Judgement==
A writ of excommunication requires a judgement by the General Assembly. The priest who raises the judgement must specify a single named individual, usually an Imperial citizen. It is possible to issue a writ of excommunication against a foreign citizen or even an inhabitant of the realms, but it rarely has anything more than symbolic effect.

When a judgement of excommunication is submitted, the Tribune is responsible for informing the subject of the judgement. Usually they will send a messenger to find the citizen to ask them to attend the Hub so that they can be briefed on the development.

A judgement to issue a writ of excommunication requires a greater majority to pass.

==Outcome==
If a character is issued with a writ of excommunication by the Imperial Synod then they immediately lose any [[Imperial title]] they currently hold. They are no longer eligible for consideration for any Imperial title, regardless of whether it is a national or Imperial position.

If the subject is not present in the Hub for the verdict, then it is the responsibility of the Tribune to inform them of the outcome of the judgement. It is common for Synod members to confront a citizen to issue them with the writ of excommunication personally - to explain the decision and potentially to perform the ceremony of excommunication. In this case, the Tribune will usually attempt to accompany the Synod members so that they can appraise the citizen of their status and their options.

If the Synod do not wish to convey the writ themselves, then the Tribune will usually send word to ask the citizen to attend the hub, or attend the next meeting of the Senate, Military Council or Conclave if the citizen holds a title there. Although the excommunicated citizen no longer has the authority to use the legal powers of their title at the point where the judgement is passed, it is only a crime if they continue to do so after they have been informed of the judgement. A priest who wishes to ensure this does not happen is well advised to take the time to inform the recipient themselves.

If the election of the title is scheduled by the civil service or the Tribune of the Synod, then they will schedule a new election as quickly as possible, provided that there is sufficient time remaining that summit to ensure that the majority of citizens who are eligible to vote will have a chance to do so. Otherwise the election will be scheduled for the following summit.

Spiritually, an excommunicated person is held to be beyond redemption. Ceremonies performed upon a citizen who is the subject of a writ of excommunication are exempt from any investigation or accusation of the religious crime of [[Religious Crimes|abuse of powers]]. This is primarily intended to enable the use of the excommunication ceremony. A few claim that excommunication may prohibit their soul's passage through the Labyrinth and deny their reincarnation, but this change of doctrine has been rejected by the Synod on more than one occasion.

The Synod has the legal right to claim any [[Game items#Coins|money]] the character possesses when the writ is delivered, but does not have the right to claim any future income or other goods such as wains of mithril, weirwood or white granite, [[Game items#Mana Crystals|crystal mana]] or [[magical items]]. An excommunicated character may still operate their personal resource and will continue to receive the production along with their [[Downtime#Income|income]] at the start of each event.
==Removal (Acceptance)==
This judgement may also be used to reconcile someone who has been excommunicated with the Imperial Synod. Such a use of the writ is often referred to as a ''judgement of acceptance''. A Writ of Excommunication is rarely used in this form, so infrequently that no requirement for a separate judgement was considered necessary.

The judgement is raised in the general assembly as normal, and as with the judgement required to place the writ it requires a greater majority. If the judgement passes in this form, the excommunication is removed. The subject regains the right to be considered for an Imperial title, and is no longer considered "fair game" for the use of ceremonial skills. They do not have the right to demand the return of any confiscated goods, and do not automatically regain any former title.

As with the original writ, if the subject is not present in the hub when the judgement passes it is the responsibility of the Tribune to inform them of the outcome of the judgement as above.

You have broken no law by which you may face justice, but by the judgement of the Synod, you are the lowest of the low and unworthy to look any true citizen in the eye."</quote>

Silent Bell (Sodality)

[[Category:Synod]]
{{Disambiguation|This page details the Vigilant association; for the magic item see [[Silent Bell]]}}
==Overview==
The Silent Bell was an [[Imperial sodality]] made up of citizens dedicated to the cause of [[Vigilance]]. Initially set up in the early years of the reign of [[Emperor Nicovar]], they were intended to serve as an investigative arm of the [[Assembly#The_Virtue_Assemblies|Vigilance Assembly]]. Unfortunately, being so closely associated with the Mad Emperor led to their short-lived order being officially disbanded in 210YE as the dust of Nicovar's rampage started to settle. They have continued to operate in an unofficial capacity ever since.

The first (and officially, only) preceptor of the Silent Bell, Esther of Sybela, responded to the instruction to disband the order with a polite note to the then [[Cardinal]] of Vigilance that read simply "''be alert to all dangers; within and without.''" Denied official sanction, the Silent Bell continued to operate in the background, occasionally bringing news of potential threats to the Empire to the attention of the Vigilance assembly.

During the reign of Emperor Nicovar, the Silent Bell were allegedly used by the Synod to suppress opposition to the increasingly extreme demands of [[the Throne]]. In the century and a half since, they remained largely in the background but are known to have helped to uncover a number of internal threats to the Empire. At various times they were accused of helping to discredit political and social movements that were threats to entrenched positions within the Empire, rather than existential threats to the empire as a whole. As such the order has had something of a mixed reputation over the years.
==Recent History==
During the reign of [[Empress Britta]], the leadership of the Silent Bell allegedly met with members of the Assembly of the Nine in secret and offered to take a more active role in the Empire. They stressed a new commitment to remain apolitical; to focus on the vigilant defence of the Empire as a whole rather than one political faction or another. At first their involvement in Imperial affairs remained limited, but throughout 380YE, they Silent Bell became significantly more active. Having undergone a clandestine period of recruitment, they began to strengthen their ties with the [[Synod]].

A resurgence of interest in the [[Paragons_and_exemplars|exemplar]] [[Berechiah]] - never a member of the Silent Bell himself but allegedly a quiet supporter of their mission - the leadership of the order decided to cement those relations officially and [[No_evil_shall_escape_our_sight|emerge from the shadows]]. Particularly in light of the [[Matter of faith|challenges faced by the Synod]] at the time, the leadership wished to be very clear in their relationship with the Assemblies, so that there would be no misunderstanding of the role they were to play or how they were to play it.

The current preceptor of the Silent Bell, '''Malachai of the Silent Bell, in [[Casinea#Casfall|Casca's Doom]]''', suggested a way that the Imperial Synod might wield the Silent Bell effectively, but with enough transparency to allay fears of a "secret militia answering only to the cardinals." During the Winter solstice 380YE, the Imperial Synod declared their support for the Silent Bell, and the Council of the Nine issued their first instruction as to where the sodality should turn its gaze. The Highborn Esau executed a mandate in support of the Silent Bell, leading to improved attendance at congregations of priests dedicated to Vigilance across the Empire.
==The Order==
The sodality they represent is small, but committed. Their goal is to gather information about internal threats to the Empire. They operate a loose, but extensive, network of informants throughout the Vigilance sects in the Empire. By drawing on that network, they can potentially track down information about specific threats. They are at their most effective, however, when they operate with a clear focus from the Imperial Synod.

They are not in a position to actually ''deal'' with threats - their members are investigators and informants, not effective combatants, but they can often suggest practical ways to deal with those threats and are adept at identifying opportunities for the Synod to use the Sentinel Gate to act on the information they have provided.
==Ringing the Bell==
Any member of the [[Assembly#The_Virtue_Assemblies|Vigilance Assembly]] is empowered to issue a [[statement of principle]] instructing the Silent Bell to pursue information relating to a specific topic. Such a statement of principle must begin with the wording "'''The Assembly of Vigilance directs the Silent Bell to investigate...'''". If the statement is supported by the lesser majority of the Assembly, then the Silent Bell will turn its attention towards investigating the designated topic. In the event that multiple such statements are issued in a single summit, the Silent Bell will take instruction from the judgement that achieves the highest margin.

Sometimes, a representative of the sodality might need to speak with the priest who raised the statement, looking for as many details as possible about the threat. Regardless, they will then direct their attentions to finding any leads they can, and make them available to the priest at the next summit. In the past, this has often taken the form of a verbal or written report, but in past years the order's commitment to transparency, and being seen to serve the Empire as a whole, has often seen them making their findings public rather than restricted them to any one individual.

Previously, the sodality took instruction from the Assembly of Nine. This [[Know_your_enemy#War_Within_a_Breath|changed]] shortly before the Summer Solstice 387YE, following the actions of some members of the Assembly of Nine. There was some concern when this method was agreed on that while it openly encourages the faithful to look into a specific topic, it might also potentially provide a warning to the enemies of the Empire. A more secretive method was also proposed, but ultimately declined, in which the Silent Bell answered directly to the [[Cardinal of Vigilance]] rather than the Council of the Nine as a whole. In the event, it became pretty clear that most of the people the Silent Bell were likely to end up investigating remained broadly oblivious to the statements of the Synod.

Malachai, the current preceptor of the Silent Bell is keen to avoid being drawn into the complex political machinations of Anvil as has sometimes happened in the past. The sodality exists to track down and investigate threats to the Empire. While they are not so foolish to imagine that none of those threats are present during the summit, this is not their area of expertise and as such they are determined to ensure that they stay out of Anvil politics. Consequently, the one restriction they insist on is that they will only investigate threats whose primary source lies outside Anvil. They are happy to follow those leads wherever they go - but they will not investigate the affairs of an individual or band while they are at Anvil.
<box>'''The capabilities of the Silent Bell'''<br>
The Silent Bell is most effective when gathering information about threats to Imperial citizens. As such, it is only effective when it is working within the borders of the Empire. It has some ability to gather information in places that are not Imperial territories but have a significant Imperial presence - for example, they have some success operating in barbarian territories where the Imperial armies are present, especially if one of those armies contains trained [[Army qualities#Scouting|scouts]] (the Seventh Wave and the Narwhal's Spear are the obvious examples).

They are ineffective at gathering information outside Imperial borders. For example, they are rarely able to make contact with foreigners or barbarians, or infiltrate non-Imperial settlements. However, they can still investigate the influences such things may have closer to home. The Silent Bell will struggle to provide any useful intelligence about a [[Grendel]] Salt Lord, for example, but might still be able to identify someone who has that information within the Empire.

'''OOC Note:''' The Silent Bell are also significantly less effective at investigating PvP scenarios. However, regardless of their limitations, their investigations will tend to turn up ''something'' for the next event, at least tangentially related to the matter they were instructed to investigate.</box>

Silent Bell (Sodality)

2026-08-17T12:48:54Z

Emmanovi: /* Previous Investigations */ Updated to Summer 388YE

[[Category:Synod]]
{{Disambiguation|This page details the Vigilant association; for the magic item see [[Silent Bell]]}}
==Overview==
The Silent Bell was an [[Imperial sodality]] made up of citizens dedicated to the cause of [[Vigilance]]. Initially set up in the early years of the reign of [[Emperor Nicovar]], they were intended to serve as an investigative arm of the [[Assembly#The_Virtue_Assemblies|Vigilance Assembly]]. Unfortunately, being so closely associated with the Mad Emperor led to their short-lived order being officially disbanded in 210YE as the dust of Nicovar's rampage started to settle. They have continued to operate in an unofficial capacity ever since.

The first (and officially, only) preceptor of the Silent Bell, Esther of Sybela, responded to the instruction to disband the order with a polite note to the then [[Cardinal]] of Vigilance that read simply "''be alert to all dangers; within and without.''" Denied official sanction, the Silent Bell continued to operate in the background, occasionally bringing news of potential threats to the Empire to the attention of the Vigilance assembly.

During the reign of Emperor Nicovar, the Silent Bell were allegedly used by the Synod to suppress opposition to the increasingly extreme demands of [[the Throne]]. In the century and a half since, they remained largely in the background but are known to have helped to uncover a number of internal threats to the Empire. At various times they were accused of helping to discredit political and social movements that were threats to entrenched positions within the Empire, rather than existential threats to the empire as a whole. As such the order has had something of a mixed reputation over the years.
==Recent History==
During the reign of [[Empress Britta]], the leadership of the Silent Bell allegedly met with members of the Assembly of the Nine in secret and offered to take a more active role in the Empire. They stressed a new commitment to remain apolitical; to focus on the vigilant defence of the Empire as a whole rather than one political faction or another. At first their involvement in Imperial affairs remained limited, but throughout 380YE, they Silent Bell became significantly more active. Having undergone a clandestine period of recruitment, they began to strengthen their ties with the [[Synod]].

A resurgence of interest in the [[Paragons_and_exemplars|exemplar]] [[Berechiah]] - never a member of the Silent Bell himself but allegedly a quiet supporter of their mission - the leadership of the order decided to cement those relations officially and [[No_evil_shall_escape_our_sight|emerge from the shadows]]. Particularly in light of the [[Matter of faith|challenges faced by the Synod]] at the time, the leadership wished to be very clear in their relationship with the Assemblies, so that there would be no misunderstanding of the role they were to play or how they were to play it.

The current preceptor of the Silent Bell, '''Malachai of the Silent Bell, in [[Casinea#Casfall|Casca's Doom]]''', suggested a way that the Imperial Synod might wield the Silent Bell effectively, but with enough transparency to allay fears of a "secret militia answering only to the cardinals." During the Winter solstice 380YE, the Imperial Synod declared their support for the Silent Bell, and the Council of the Nine issued their first instruction as to where the sodality should turn its gaze. The Highborn Esau executed a mandate in support of the Silent Bell, leading to improved attendance at congregations of priests dedicated to Vigilance across the Empire.
==The Order==
The sodality they represent is small, but committed. Their goal is to gather information about internal threats to the Empire. They operate a loose, but extensive, network of informants throughout the Vigilance sects in the Empire. By drawing on that network, they can potentially track down information about specific threats. They are at their most effective, however, when they operate with a clear focus from the Imperial Synod.

They are not in a position to actually ''deal'' with threats - their members are investigators and informants, not effective combatants, but they can often suggest practical ways to deal with those threats and are adept at identifying opportunities for the Synod to use the Sentinel Gate to act on the information they have provided.
==Ringing the Bell==
Any member of the [[Assembly#The_Virtue_Assemblies|Vigilance Assembly]] is empowered to issue a [[statement of principle]] instructing the Silent Bell to pursue information relating to a specific topic. Such a statement of principle must begin with the wording "'''The Assembly of Vigilance directs the Silent Bell to investigate...'''". If the statement is supported by the lesser majority of the Assembly, then the Silent Bell will turn its attention towards investigating the designated topic. In the event that multiple such statements are issued in a single summit, the Silent Bell will take instruction from the judgement that achieves the highest margin.

Sometimes, a representative of the sodality might need to speak with the priest who raised the statement, looking for as many details as possible about the threat. Regardless, they will then direct their attentions to finding any leads they can, and make them available to the priest at the next summit. In the past, this has often taken the form of a verbal or written report, but in past years the order's commitment to transparency, and being seen to serve the Empire as a whole, has often seen them making their findings public rather than restricted them to any one individual.

Previously, the sodality took instruction from the Assembly of Nine. This [[Know_your_enemy#War_Within_a_Breath|changed]] shortly before the Summer Solstice 387YE, following the actions of some members of the Assembly of Nine. There was some concern when this method was agreed on that while it openly encourages the faithful to look into a specific topic, it might also potentially provide a warning to the enemies of the Empire. A more secretive method was also proposed, but ultimately declined, in which the Silent Bell answered directly to the [[Cardinal of Vigilance]] rather than the Council of the Nine as a whole. In the event, it became pretty clear that most of the people the Silent Bell were likely to end up investigating remained broadly oblivious to the statements of the Synod.

Malachai, the current preceptor of the Silent Bell is keen to avoid being drawn into the complex political machinations of Anvil as has sometimes happened in the past. The sodality exists to track down and investigate threats to the Empire. While they are not so foolish to imagine that none of those threats are present during the summit, this is not their area of expertise and as such they are determined to ensure that they stay out of Anvil politics. Consequently, the one restriction they insist on is that they will only investigate threats whose primary source lies outside Anvil. They are happy to follow those leads wherever they go - but they will not investigate the affairs of an individual or band while they are at Anvil.
<box>'''The capabilities of the Silent Bell'''<br>
The Silent Bell is most effective when gathering information about threats to Imperial citizens. As such, it is only effective when it is working within the borders of the Empire. It has some ability to gather information in places that are not Imperial territories but have a significant Imperial presence - for example, they have some success operating in barbarian territories where the Imperial armies are present, especially if one of those armies contains trained [[Army qualities#Scouting|scouts]] (the Seventh Wave and the Narwhal's Spear are the obvious examples).

They are ineffective at gathering information outside Imperial borders. For example, they are rarely able to make contact with foreigners or barbarians, or infiltrate non-Imperial settlements. However, they can still investigate the influences such things may have closer to home. The Silent Bell will struggle to provide any useful intelligence about a [[Grendel]] Salt Lord, for example, but might still be able to identify someone who has that information within the Empire.

'''OOC Note:''' The Silent Bell are also significantly less effective at investigating PvP scenarios. However, regardless of their limitations, their investigations will tend to turn up ''something'' for the next event, at least tangentially related to the matter they were instructed to investigate.</box>

Civil service

2026-08-15T20:09:07Z

Emmanovi: /* Imperial Magistracy */ testing gallery

<quote by="The Imperial Constitution">The Civil Service shall serve The Throne and the people, and be bound in oaths of loyalty to the Empire. They will be civil in their dealings and treat each citizen by their virtues, without prejudice or favour regardless of wealth, nationality or title. They will choose amongst them those who will serve as magistrates, to ensure the law is a friend to no-one but instead the servant and the master of all.</quote>
__TOC__
==Overview==
The Imperial Civil Service was established at the birth of the Empire but the roles and responsibilities were not codified until later, during the reign of [[Imperial_history#.2822_YE_-_34_YE.29_Reign_of_Emperor_Giovanni_the_Peacemaker|Emperor Giovanni]]. Every member of the Service [[Varushka_hearth_magic#Oaths|swears an oath]] to carry out their duties honestly and without favour to any party. As such, they do not vote in any elections, allowing citizens to trust the information and advice they provide is as fair and accurate as possible.

The civil servants who attend Anvil are generally based at the Civil Service Hub, located roughly at the centre of Anvil. However, their work takes them across various parts of Anvil, as is outlined [[Event schedule|here]].

'''All civil servants are NPC only positions. Their role is to enable the game to run effectively - providing dependable sources of information and preventing players from being bogged down in administration or bureaucracy. The roles are intended to be incorruptible, so that players can trust what the information implicitly. Profound Decisions will ''never'' run plot in Empire involving the corruption of magistrates or other civil servants.'''

==Institutional Civil Servants==
These civil servants are responsible for the smooth operation of a specific Imperial Institution. In all cases a single specific title exists, linked to each of the five great houses of the Empire, e.g. the Speaker for the Senate. Though such offices are always referred to in the singular, in practice there are usually multiple civil servants assigned specific to each role.<div style="display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 30%; grid-column-gap: 10px; clear: right;"><div>
===Speaker for the Senate===
The [[Speaker for the Senate]] comprises those civil servants appointed to oversee the business of the [[Senate]]. The Speaker chairs all sessions of the Senate to ensure they are orderly, timely and effective. They are responsible for accepting [[Senate motion|motions]] from [[senator|senators]] and creating the agenda for each [[Senate session|session]], including any [[Senate address|addresses]] that are to be made.

The Speaker is the best in-character point of contact for queries about Senate motions, [[Commission|commissions]], creation of [[New Imperial titles|new Imperial titles]], and advice on how the Senate is run.

The office of Speaker is expected to maintain the following records:

* A list of all motions brought before Senate, the wording, their proposers, and the seconders.
* Whether or not each motion was passed, failed or withdrawn.
* Any disbursement from the Imperial treasury that was approved for the motion.
* A list of all announcements made before Senate.
* The location of suitable pro-formas for Senate [[:File:Senate_Motion_Sheet.pdf|motions]], [[:File:Senate_Address_Sheet.pdf|addresses]] and [[:File:Senate_Announcement_Sheet.pdf|announcements]].

===Tribune of the Synod===
The [[Tribune of the Synod]] comprises those civil servants appointed to oversee the business of the [[Synod]]. The Tribune is responsible for accepting and registering [[Judgement|Judgements]] raised by priests, and recording and announcing the votes of members of the Synod. It is also the Tribune who disburses the [[Liao#True Liao|True Liao]] to the Throne, the winner of the lot in the Public auction, any doses [[Rewarding|awarded]] from the Virtue Fund, and the doses awarded by the Gatekeepers.

As the Synod holds no formal sessions, the Tribune is based solely within the Hub. They are able to answer queries relating to appointment to Synod titles, the raising of and voting for Judgements, as well the opportunities and powers available to the Synod.

The Tribune is expected to maintain the following records:

* The set of all judgements raised by the Synod at the summit.
* Votes made by Synod priests on judgements.
* Appointments by assemblies of the Synod.
* Definitive wordings for any mandates that have been assessed by the Civil Service.
* Rewardings made from the Virtue fund to the priests who raised the corresponding Judgements
* The names of those who are to receive visions of past lives
* The location of a suitable pro-forma for [[:File:Judgement_Sheet.pdf|Synod Judgements]]

===Herald of the Council===
The [[Herald of the Council]] comprises those civil servants appointed to oversee the business of the [[Military Council]]. The Herald chairs all official meetings, the [[Muster]] and all regular [[Council session|sessions]] of the Military Council to ensure they are orderly, timely and effective. They are responsible for creating the agenda for each session, accepting any [[Council address|addresses]] that are to be made.

The Herald is well-placed to answer any queries relating to the operation of the Military Council and how best to bring matters before it. They provide information on the disposition of the Empire's military forces to the Imperial generals at the start of the muster.

The Herald is expected to maintain the following records:

* The disposition and strength of the Empire's armies and fortifications.
* The battle opportunities chosen by the military council
* Which nations are taking the field for each battle.
* The field marshal commanding each battle.
* The orders given by generals to their armies.
* Any pardons issued by the Military Council.
* Any distribution of [[spoils of war]] made by the Military Council.

==Non-Institutional Civil Servants==
A number of key Civil Service roles are not tied to a single official body of state. These positions are responsible for providing advice and service across multiple different houses or directly to individual citizens.<div style="display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 30%; grid-column-gap: 10px;"><div>
===Constitutional Court===
The [[Scrutiny#Constitutional_Court|Constitutional Court]] is a body of civil servants whose job is to ensure that the [[Senate motion|motions]] passed by the [[Senate]] can be implemented in accordance with the Imperial Constitution. The Court provides [[scrutiny]] of every motion after it passes the Imperial Senate, checking that it is in accordance with the Imperial Constitution and that it can be effectively implemented by the Civil Service. It exists to allow Profound Decisions to check that any motion that changes the way Empire plays will not adversely affect the enjoyment of the game in the years to come.

Members of the Court will attempt to provide constitutional advice to any citizen who requests it, to give citizens the best chance of ensuring that any motions presented to the Senate are legitimate. However, advice given by any individual member is not considered binding by the Court, and all Senate motions are subject to further scrutiny once they have been passed on the floor of the Senate.

Some members of the Court have a number of their own responsibilities. The Auditor of the Imperial Treasury is responsible for providing funds disbursed from the Imperial treasury by the Senate and producing the accounts for the [[Master of the Imperial Mint]] each summit. The Imperial Archivist is responsible for historical research and for all Civil Service publications, while the Chief Magistrate is the senior magistrate for the Empire. These Civil Servants sometimes attend sessions of the Senate to provide important further context on the opportunities and powers available to it.

At present, the two members of the Secretariat are the Secretary General who directly oversees all civil service operations and the Cultural Liaison, who works directly with the egregores of each nation whole to ensure that all Imperial citizens, especially those new to Anvil, have access to the support they need.

They appoint members of the militia and coordinate their activities, directing them to investigate potential crimes that have been reported. They administer trials, overseeing the proceedings, determining the verdict, and setting the punishment. They oversee executions, as well as the collection and redistribution of fines.

Magistrates can be approached to provide advice on any aspect of Imperial Law, as well as to offer advice on how to bring a [[Civil Claims|civil claim]]. They are currently based at the magistrate's office, near the Hub.

The Chief Magistrates oversee the magistrates and are responsible for appointing and promoting new magistrates. The Constitutional Court always includes the Chief Magistrates and the longest serving magistrate, so the Chief Magistrates can also provide constitutional advice.

The Magistracy, especially the Chief Magistrates, are also responsible for assisting in the creation of [[The Throne#Imperial Favour|Imperial Favours]].

The Magistracy publishes the [[Court Reports|Court Report]] following each summit that details all trials and their outcome.

===War Scouts & Prognosticators===
Imperial war scouts provide vital intelligence to the Military Council on the disposition and movement of enemy forces. This information is combined with divinations performed by the Imperial prognosticators to identify conjunctions of the [[Sentinel Gate]]. Each summit, the department produces a set of briefings for the Council, detailing all major conjunctions that have been identified, along with objectives and potential outcomes.

The prognosticators and war scouts also work together to produce briefings for the smaller military conjunctions that are published before each summit. In consultation with the Constitutional Court, they decide which Imperial title should be given dominion over the conjunction. The war scouts are the best people to talk to if you have any questions about a military conjunction. At Anvil, the war scouts maintain a post near the [[Sentinel Gate]] in order to advise on known [[conjunctions]].

The Imperial Archives also employ numerous prognosticators to help create the Winds of Fortune, the accurate forecasts and reports which are published before each summit.

Emmanovi: /* Imperial Magistracy */ further updates

<quote by="The Imperial Constitution">The Civil Service shall serve The Throne and the people, and be bound in oaths of loyalty to the Empire. They will be civil in their dealings and treat each citizen by their virtues, without prejudice or favour regardless of wealth, nationality or title. They will choose amongst them those who will serve as magistrates, to ensure the law is a friend to no-one but instead the servant and the master of all.</quote>
__TOC__
==Overview==
The Imperial Civil Service was established at the birth of the Empire but the roles and responsibilities were not codified until later, during the reign of [[Imperial_history#.2822_YE_-_34_YE.29_Reign_of_Emperor_Giovanni_the_Peacemaker|Emperor Giovanni]]. Every member of the Service [[Varushka_hearth_magic#Oaths|swears an oath]] to carry out their duties honestly and without favour to any party. As such, they do not vote in any elections, allowing citizens to trust the information and advice they provide is as fair and accurate as possible.

The civil servants who attend Anvil are generally based at the Civil Service Hub, located roughly at the centre of Anvil. However, their work takes them across various parts of Anvil, as is outlined [[Event schedule|here]].

'''All civil servants are NPC only positions. Their role is to enable the game to run effectively - providing dependable sources of information and preventing players from being bogged down in administration or bureaucracy. The roles are intended to be incorruptible, so that players can trust what the information implicitly. Profound Decisions will ''never'' run plot in Empire involving the corruption of magistrates or other civil servants.'''

==Institutional Civil Servants==
These civil servants are responsible for the smooth operation of a specific Imperial Institution. In all cases a single specific title exists, linked to each of the five great houses of the Empire, e.g. the Speaker for the Senate. Though such offices are always referred to in the singular, in practice there are usually multiple civil servants assigned specific to each role.<div style="display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 30%; grid-column-gap: 10px; clear: right;"><div>
===Speaker for the Senate===
The [[Speaker for the Senate]] comprises those civil servants appointed to oversee the business of the [[Senate]].

The Speaker is the best in-character point of contact for queries about Senate motions, [[Commission|commissions]], creation of [[New Imperial titles|new Imperial titles]], and advice on how the Senate is run.

The office of Speaker is expected to maintain the following records:

* A list of all motions brought before Senate, the wording, their proposers, and the seconders.
* Whether or not each motion was passed, failed or withdrawn.
* Any disbursement from the Imperial treasury that was approved for the motion.
* A list of all announcements made before Senate.
* The location of suitable pro-formas for Senate [[:File:Senate_Motion_Sheet.pdf|motions]], [[:File:Senate_Address_Sheet.pdf|addresses]] and [[:File:Senate_Announcement_Sheet.pdf|announcements]].

The prognosticators and war scouts also work together to produce briefings for the smaller military conjunctions that are published before each summit. In consultation with the Constitutional Court, they decide which Imperial title should be given dominion over the conjunction. The war scouts are the best people to talk to if you have any questions about a military conjunction. At Anvil, the war scouts maintain a post near the [[Sentinel Gate]] in order to advise on known [[conjunctions]].

The Imperial Archives also employ numerous prognosticators to help create the Winds of Fortune, the accurate forecasts and reports which are published before each summit.

Emmanovi: divers updates, tidy-up, more Tribune updates to follow

<quote by="The Imperial Constitution">The Civil Service shall serve The Throne and the people, and be bound in oaths of loyalty to the Empire. They will be civil in their dealings and treat each citizen by their virtues, without prejudice or favour regardless of wealth, nationality or title. They will choose amongst them those who will serve as magistrates, to ensure the law is a friend to no-one but instead the servant and the master of all.</quote>
__TOC__
==Overview==
The Imperial Civil Service was established at the birth of the Empire but the roles and responsibilities were not codified until later, during the reign of [[Imperial_history#.2822_YE_-_34_YE.29_Reign_of_Emperor_Giovanni_the_Peacemaker|Emperor Giovanni]]. Every member of the Service [[Varushka_hearth_magic#Oaths|swears an oath]] to carry out their duties honestly and without favour to any party. As such, they do not vote in any elections, allowing citizens to trust the information and advice they provide is as fair and accurate as possible.

The civil servants who attend Anvil are generally based at the Civil Service Hub, located roughly at the centre of Anvil. However, their work takes them across various parts of Anvil, as is outlined [[Event schedule|here]].

'''All civil servants are NPC only positions. Their role is to enable the game to run effectively - providing dependable sources of information and preventing players from being bogged down in administration or bureaucracy. The roles are intended to be incorruptible, so that players can trust what the information implicitly. Profound Decisions will ''never'' run plot in Empire involving the corruption of magistrates or other civil servants.'''

==Institutional Civil Servants==
These civil servants are responsible for the smooth operation of a specific Imperial Institution. In all cases a single specific title exists, linked to each of the five great houses of the Empire, e.g. the Speaker for the Senate. Though such offices are always referred to in the singular, in practice there are usually multiple civil servants assigned specific to each role.<div style="display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 30%; grid-column-gap: 10px; clear: right;"><div>
===Speaker for the Senate===
The [[Speaker for the Senate]] comprises those civil servants appointed to oversee the business of the [[Senate]]. The Speaker chairs all sessions of the Senate to ensure they are orderly, timely and effective. They are responsible for accepting [[Senate motion|motions]] from [[senator|senators]] and creating the agenda for each [[Senate session|session]], including any [[Senate address|addresses]] that are to be made.

The Speaker is the best in-character point of contact for queries about Senate motions, [[Commission|commissions]], creation of [[New Imperial titles|new Imperial titles]], and advice on how the Senate is run.

The office of Speaker is expected to maintain the following records:

* A list of all motions brought before Senate, the wording, their proposers, and the seconders.
* Whether or not each motion was passed, failed or withdrawn.
* Any disbursement from the Imperial treasury that was approved for the motion.
* A list of all announcements made before Senate.
* The location of suitable pro-formas for Senate [[:File:Senate_Motion_Sheet.pdf|motions]], [[:File:Senate_Address_Sheet.pdf|addresses]] and [[:File:Senate_Announcement_Sheet.pdf|announcements]].

===Tribune of the Synod===
The [[Tribune of the Synod]] comprises those civil servants appointed to oversee the business of the [[Synod]]. The Tribune is responsible for accepting and registering [[Judgement|Judgements]] raised by priests, and recording and announcing the votes of members of the Synod. It is also the Tribune who disburses the [[Liao#True Liao|True Liao]] to the Throne, the winner of the lot in the Public auction, any doses [[Rewarding|awarded]] from the Virtue Fund, and the doses awarded by the Gatekeepers.

As the Synod holds no formal sessions, the Tribune is based solely within the Hub. They are able to answer queries relating to appointment to Synod titles, the raising of and voting for Judgements, as well the opportunities and powers available to the Synod.

The Tribune is expected to maintain the following records:

* The set of all judgements raised by the Synod at the summit.
* Votes made by Synod priests on judgements.
* Appointments by assemblies of the Synod.
* Definitive wordings for any mandates that have been assessed by the Civil Service.

* The battle opportunities chosen by the military council

===Prefect of the Conclave===
The civil servants who serve the [[Conclave]] oversee its sessions in the Hall of Worlds. They accept Declarations made in advance of each session, create the agenda, and ensure each session is run in a timely, efficient and orderly fashion. They are also responsible for taking the crystal mana required to speak in Conclave, which is then added to the [[Conclave vault|Conclave vaults]] and disbursed to [[Grandmaster|Grandmasters]] of each [[Conclave order|Order]].

The Prefect is available in the Hub in advance of each session to receive Declarations for the Agenda, as well as to answer procedural questions on how things might be brought before Conclave.

The Prefect is expected to maintain the following records:

* Appointments to Imperial titles.
* Addresses made on each day, and who made each one
* Declarations made on each day, who made each one, and whether or not it passed
* The Strengths of each order at each Conclave session

==Non-Institutional Civil Servants==
A number of key Civil Service roles are not tied to a single official body of state. These positions are responsible for providing advice and service across multiple different houses or directly to individual citizens.<div style="display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 30%; grid-column-gap: 10px;"><div>
===Constitutional Court===
The [[Scrutiny#Constitutional_Court|Constitutional Court]] is a body of civil servants whose job is to ensure that the [[Senate motion|motions]] passed by the [[Senate]] can be implemented in accordance with the Imperial Constitution. The Court provides [[scrutiny]] of every motion after it passes the Imperial Senate, checking that it is in accordance with the Imperial Constitution and that it can be effectively implemented by the Civil Service. It exists to allow Profound Decisions to check that any motion that changes the way Empire plays will not adversely affect the enjoyment of the game in the years to come.

Members of the Court will attempt to provide constitutional advice to any citizen who requests it, to give citizens the best chance of ensuring that any motions presented to the Senate are legitimate. However, advice given by any individual member is not considered binding by the Court, and all Senate motions are subject to further scrutiny once they have been passed on the floor of the Senate.

Some members of the Court have a number of their own responsibilities. The Auditor of the Imperial Treasury is responsible for providing funds disbursed from the Imperial treasury by the Senate and producing the accounts for the [[Master of the Imperial Mint]] each summit. The Imperial Archivist is responsible for historical research and for all Civil Service publications, while the Chief Magistrate is the senior magistrate for the Empire. These Civil Servants sometimes attend sessions of the Senate to provide important further context on the opportunities and powers available to it.

===Secretariat of the Civil Service===
The Secretariat are responsible for the recruitment and appointment of new civil servants, as well as the day-to-day operation of the Service. Citizens who have an issue with the behaviour of a civil servant are best advised to raise the matter with a member of the Secretariat who will try to assist. At Anvil, when not facilitating the needs of the Civil Service as a whole, they usually fill other roles in line with their specialisms.

At present, the two members of the Secretariat are the Secretary General who directly oversees all civil service operations and the Cultural Liaison, who works directly with the egregores of each nation whole to ensure that all Imperial citizens, especially those new to Anvil, have access to the support they need.

===Overseer of Imperial Elections===
The Overseer of [[Imperial elections|Imperial Elections]] is responsible for administering the appointment for all Imperial titles not managed by another office of the Civil Service, and ensuring all elections adhere to the strictures of Imperial Law. This includes, but is not limited to, elections for senators and generals each summit.

The Overseer can be approached with any query regarding elections to the Senate, Military Council or Bourse. Appointments by the Imperial Synod are best directed to the Tribute of the Synod. Appointments by the Conclave are the remit of the Prefect of the Conclave, (Merlot, the current Overseer of Elections is also a Prefect of the Conclave).

The Overseer is expected to keep the following records:

* The list of current Imperial title holders
* The list of titles awaiting election
* All elections ''to'' the Senate or appointments ''by'' the Senate
* Results of appointments ''to'' or ''by'' the Military Council
* All elections and appointments ''to'' the Bourse

===Imperial Magistracy===
Magistrates are responsible for enforcing [[Imperial Law]]. They appoint members of the militia and coordinate their activities, directing them to investigate potential crimes that have been reported. They administer trials, overseeing the proceedings, determining the verdict, and setting the punishment. They oversee executions, as well as the collection and redistribution of fines.

Magistrates can be approached to provide advice on any aspect of Imperial Law, as well as to offer advice on how to bring a [[Civil Claims|civil claim]]. They are currently based at the magistrate's office, near the Hub.

The Chief Magistrates oversee the magistrates and are responsible for appointing and promoting new magistrates. The Constitutional Court always includes the Chief Magistrates and the longest serving magistrate, so the Chief Magistrates can also provide constitutional advice.

The Magistracy, especially the Chief Magistrates, are also responsible for assisting in the creation of [[The Throne#Imperial Favour|Imperial Favours]].

The Magistracy publishes the [[Court Reports|Court Report]] following each summit that details all trials and their outcome.

===Attendants of the Gateway===
These civil servants take instruction from those individuals awarded or in possession of [[Liao#True_Liao|True Liao]]. Where individuals seek to use the True Liao to have [[Past life vision|visions of their past lives]], it is the responsibility of these civil servants to interview them, to explain the process, and then to administer to the ceremony after the True Liao has been suitably prepared.

They aim to make themselves available to all potential visionaries for interviews and discussions at the Hub - both on the Saturday night of each summit as well as at 1:30pm on the Sunday.

These civil servants are also responsible for keeping records of which citizens are due to receive visions of their past lives, which are published in the Hub. The Civil Service does not record the details of previous Visions - the responsibility for this lies with the [[Seer of the Gateway]].

===War Scouts & Prognosticators===
Imperial war scouts provide vital intelligence to the Military Council on the disposition and movement of enemy forces. This information is combined with divinations performed by the Imperial prognosticators to identify conjunctions of the [[Sentinel Gate]]. Each summit, the department produces a set of briefings for the Council, detailing all major conjunctions that have been identified, along with objectives and potential outcomes.

The prognosticators and war scouts also work together to produce briefings for the smaller military conjunctions that are published before each summit.

* '''Judgement:''' Those who fell in the battle of Siroc rest still beneath the waters of the Bay of Oran. There is a chance for the ruined fortress to once more protect the Freeborn people, but we must ensure no disrespect is offered to the dead.

===Judgement 135===
* '''Assembly:''' Varushkan
* '''Raised By:''' Rosanna Vtrachenich
* '''Judgement:''' There are old ties between the people of Varushka and those of Wintermark; we are cousins to Suaq and Kallavesa and siblings to the Steinr.

* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (100-118)

===Judgement 150===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Clarice Novarion
* '''Judgement:''' Wisdom is not always knowing the answer. We send Melchior of Adina's Charge with 150 liao to urge every Imperial citizen to forego the secret knowledge of the Druj. Wisdom is finding the right question. Let the art of creating fear die with them.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1457-204)
* '''Enacted:''' This has closed the door on opportunities to learn the skills, the techniques, and the actual potion recipes that the Druj use to do that for all nations in the Empire, except for [[Urizen]], [[Varushka]], and [[Wintermark]].

==Writ of Consecration==
===Judgement 13===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Jedediah Boon
* '''Judgement:''' 60 years have passed since the Leaders of the Ore Hills Rebellion, Exemplars of Pride, gave their lives for Virtue. Their names resonate across Mournwold hills; Esme Hooper, Mary Digger, Ezekial "Zeke" Boon, Henry Killinghall, Maggie John, and Tom John. As the pickaxes ring out, driving their Legacy deeper into the stone, the Great Work commemorating them stands ever taller. 'Rebellion's Ridge' is dedicated to them, together, and their Virtuous lives. They have waited long enough. Just as the Assembly of Pride first Recognised their Exemplarhood, so too does it request a Writ of Consecration for this sacred site. Let it draw pilgrims to its sanctuary; let it remind a territory stricken by the Jotun bootheel time and time again: Plan. Arm. Enchant. Resist. Exalt. Remember.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (296-10)

===Judgement 70===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Exarch Aemon
* '''Judgement:''' We call for the Memorial to the Silent Bell - in Broken Ride, Reikos - to be consecrated to Vigilance by Bryce the Hare. This was where the Empire first knew the Druj power of Fear, and it was the bravery of those who died for the Silent Bell's campaign to learn of Fear that inspired this monument. The sodality requires the anonymity of it's members, and to celebrate them for their deeds would compromise them. As such, they are never remembered for their Virtuous work, and in silence the sodality bears the grim burden of lives lost in the name of Virtue. No longer! This edifice stands in memorial to the Vigilance dead. Let all who visit this place contemplate what they themselves might give to protect something they truly care for.

===Judgement 48===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Bella Vicente d'Apulian
* '''Judgement:''' It is ''Idolatry'' to give your memories to a non-human or orc entity. It betrays your soul as it gives part of your ''Pride'', ''Wisdom'', and ''Vigilance'' away to something else. ''True Liao'' grants vision into the past: how <u>dare</u> any give that privilege to another being?

* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Konstantin Rabovich Bolotnikov
* '''Judgement:''' Preaching that orc souls reincarnate should be proscribed as heresy. The Doctrine of the Abyss is clear: "''Orcs live only one life''".

===Judgement 154===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Edward Greyfriar
* '''Judgement:''' The Proscription against "Bearing a dedication of anointing of a false virtue" should be withdrawn. It is not the Judgement that Brother Orchard put forward and Synod voted for. The Constitutional Court has made it clear that the original wording will never be constitutional. If we wish the judgement the Court wrote to be applied we should vote for it, not rely on the Court having correctly guessed our intent.

* '''Assembly:''' General

==Sanction==
===Judgement 12===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Jedediah Boon
* '''Judgement - Castigation:''' An Inquisitor must be held to the standard of a competent and Virtuous Inquisitor. Nothing Less. Brother Geoffrey Orchard; You have misused the powers bestowed on you, using Sanctions to advertise your books for personal gain. You have placed collective punishment on those outside your Inquisition without remorse. You have derogated Exemplars, beyond theological debate. You have offended each Tenet of Pride, demeaning others on your vengeful path and failing to strive for excellence. You have promoted the false virtue of Vengeance, choosing Inquisition targets by personal grudges and unrepentantly displaying human heads on pikes along the road of a Consecrated tomb. If you were not a titled Inquisitor, there could be room to rectify your lack of Pride. You are Heretical, a discredit to the Way, and deserving of harsher recourse than the limits Castigation.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (188-28)

===Judgement 16===
* '''Assembly:''' Navarr
* '''Raised By:''' Corey Wayfarer
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' Following Inquisition at the Spring Equinox I Vindicate you. How your virtue motivates you, your actions and your orders as a General was clear and I look forward to your continued virtuous journey. Thank you Cadwell. You requested some support with emotional elements of the General's role and to this end you took an Oath to speak with a Guide or Guides for an hour each season to help support you in your role as General. I will be happy to continue to guide you in this manner.

===Judgement 28===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Brother Geoffrey Orchard
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' (Escalating from the Writ brought by my authority as Inquisitor of Vigilance at Winter 387YE. Inquisition conducted Spring 388YE.) Ibiss Briarheart's tenure as Archmage of Spring has had its controversies, and I have had reservations about some of his decisions. He persuaded me in Inquisition that, despite all outward appearances, there WAS always a plan - a plan suitable to the Spring Realm, carried out with proteges who could carry on the work should the worst happen, and conducted with all due Vigilance. If it appears otherwise at points, that's Spring for you. Now that Ibiss is Warmage, he is best placed to ensure that the plan as outlined to me bears its fruit, particularly the part he told me would come once the scourge of the Druj is over - so even as he lays down his Archmage's staff, his Vigil does not end. I Vindicate him and, in consideration of his Legacy, I commit to producing a text on his diplomacy with the Spring Realm and its Eternals for posterity
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (134-0)

===Judgement 29===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Brother Geoffrey Orchard
* '''Judgement - Castigation:''' (Escalating Inquisition of Spring 388YE.) GWEN TENDFALLEN spread copies of "Doctrines of the Second Bloom" where anyone could pick them up. Her preface justified this in terms of Loyalty, Vigilance, and Wisdom, and urged readers to "test what you learn". The only way to test the book's claims is to experiment with False Virtue. In Inquisition she disavowed Loyalty as a motive. The threat claimed Vigilance against was the uncontrolled spread of the book's ideas - the foreseeable outcome of her own actions. Wisdom says "Despise folly and chastise the fool that spreads it". Gwen admits being aware of major errors of fact in the book, justifying this as a "challenge" for readers. Uncovering new truths is challenge enough without sifting thrugh a tangle of known falsehoods. Spreading folly flouts Wisdom. Disavowing Loyalty shatters it. Causing the danger you claim to be Vigilant against is the reverse of Vigilance. Gwen's claims to Virtue are spurious and I urge the Assembly to CASTIGATE her. Any priest or investigator wishing to know more of the poisonous ideology of the "Second Bloom" is invited to talk to me. The militia have been informed.

===Judgement 69===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Ingrid Talon-of-the-Mark
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' Mael of the Shattered Tower has worked for years to guide the military council in matters of virtue, and the Synod in the unwelcome truths of the war. Benevolence shines in the compassion and good counsel that they have given their fellows, vigilantly rooting out the poison of discord between the bodies of the Empire. They have been a bane to folly and carelessness, arming general and priest alike with the truth - that we may all better defend that which we hold dear.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (174-0)

===Judgement 92===
* '''Assembly:''' Nine
* '''Raised By:''' Galene Netherwatch
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' As Arcane Inquisitor, I vindicate the Archmage of Summer, Mirella of the Twisted Rose. Her Loyalty and love for the Empire shine bright as the sun.

* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Nerith
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' I summoned myself to inquisition. Under Freedom of the Soul, I cast Freedom of the Soul, and my soul was freed. Anarchy rose up in me, and I spoke and questioned freely, at the Highguard chapel. Insight found no anarchy. I informed militia and Synod in advance. I testified what I found with testimony. (The inquisitor was vigilant and questioned me without mercy. A friend would've been gentler.) Where anarchy truly lives, I leave to wiser souls. Vindicated. The work of Vigilance continues, during this Second Age of Virtue, in Berechiah's Legacy.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (20-12)

===Judgement 139===
* '''Assembly:''' Ambition
* '''Raised By:''' Azir i Shartha
* '''Judgement - Penance:''' Lord Alexander Tallstag understands what it means to be a living exemplar. He talks of exemplarhood as a means to encourage others to lead a virtuous life, and I judge him correct in his assessment. Alexander's grand Ambition is to inspire others towards virtuous action. My challenge to him: <u>DO IT</u>. I want to hear tales of his inspirations from every corner of Anvil and the Empire. He has the virtue. Ambition is watching.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (134-0)

===Judgement 140===
* '''Assembly:''' Wisdom
* '''Raised By:''' Aethelric the Grounded
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' Following inquisition, I am happy that Hypatia is fully informed of virtue, and Wisdom in particular, in thought, word and deed. The goal for all of us is to act with more virtue tomorrow than we performed today, and Hypatia is keenly aware of this truth.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (118-0)

===Judgement 144===
* '''Assembly:''' Wintermark
* '''Raised By:''' Eldrid 'Phoenix Flame' Vestardottir
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' The Serrated Claws, now of Wintermark, formerly of Dawn, have proven firmly that any rumours surrounding siding with the Manticore are false and that they are hereby vindicated and put all rumours to rest.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (182-0)

===Judgement 152===
* '''Assembly:''' Prosperity
* '''Raised By:''' Vauraus "Prosperity's Forge" Korppitkotka
* '''Judgement - Penance:''' Gancio di Catazar acted out of Ambition and Loyalty when they commissioned the Silver Fox mines, but without the Vigilance to check it was wanted. They also hurt the Prosperity of the three people and one guild who contributed. By means of penance, Gancio di Catazar will: 1) Find those three people and return their money to them. They will contact the Descent Guild of Ore Extraction to determine what reckoning is required; 2) Work with Senator Temeschwar to once more commission the Silver Fox mines at a time of their choosing; 3) Attend the Vigilance Assembly, tell them why they are there and ask for a priest to counsel them on vigilance for a year
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (171-0)

===Judgement 153===
* '''Assembly:''' Nine
* '''Raised By:''' Vauraus "Prosperity's Forge" Korppitkotka
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' The Empress stated after her coronation that she would build us into a military economy and not let the west go undefended. She stated she would control and support the building of Imperial armies. These things she has done. We have built more armies faster than I can find in the civil service record. She is the Empress over the largest Empire there has ever been. Her stated ambition is to secure the hearths and homes of the Empire and build new ones. I exalt that Ambition, the Loyalty that it shows to every Imperial citizen, the courage the Empress has shown in steering this path firmly yet fairly, and the Pride she has shown by stating this Ambition and how she is meeting it.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (8-0)

===Judgement 172===
* '''Assembly:''' Nine
* '''Raised By:''' Silas of the Cenotaph
* '''Judgement - Penance:''' Ser Guy of the Twisted Rose. You are no idolator, but you have been reckless with the souls of those soldiers over whom you held responsibility. Your actions are not without virtue - but we worry about the echo of Irra Harah's philosophies in the actions you took. In penance, cease playing Irra Harah's game - stand proud as we know you can. Run not, hide not, fight well.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (9-0)

==Exaltation==
===Judgement 5===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Halwyn Splitroot
* '''Judgement:''' Great artists whose work inspires virtue should be exalted. Constanza i Kalamar i Guerra has inspired pride across the Empire through her artwork, Faces of the Empire, which comprises a central piece and ten accompanying portraits, each representing the culture of an Imperial nation. The central piece brings together all ten portraits, symbolising the unity, strength, and virtue of our diverse Empire. Constanza is a multidisciplinary artist whose inspiring work spans both the visual and performing arts. We exalt Constanza in recognition of her artistic achievements and her dedication to inspiring pride in others.
* '''Outcome: ''' Not upheld (194-80)

===Judgement 43===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Astrid Fjellrevening Rezia di Tassato
* '''Judgement:''' This Assembly Exalts Jarrigk Silktongue du Meravon. Jarrigk was deemed virtuous enough to earn a dose of True Liao from the Gatekeepers of the Synod, in recognition of years of Proud service as Imperial Consul, and now Voice of Liberty. He willingly donated this gift back to the Gatekeepers, knowing he would not be granted another, so it could be given by them to Faraden to create a permanent Pride Consecration there. Such is his dedication to his craft; Diplomacy in service of the Empire. This Consecration has further cemented good relations with Faraden and reduced Asavean influence there, as well as being a wonder in its own right- a permanent Pride Consecration to inspire those beyond the Empire's borders.
* '''Outcome: ''' Not upheld (172-62)

===Judgement 114===
* '''Assembly:''' Wisdom
* '''Raised By:''' Tenebrae
* '''Judgement:''' To recognise the Wisdom enacted by Serafina Semenov for their efforts in the fight against the vallorn. As seen in winter during the siege of the Tower of the Skink! Under the virtue of Wisdom, Serafina lent scouts via Boyar's Hasta, leading to the warding stones of Beantol Dol not being completely broken to Druj will. This reduced the awakening of the vallorn, saving thousands, followed by fighting those same vallorn in spring! Ratified by VGWisdom
* '''Outcome: ''' Not upheld (140-32)

===Judgement 133===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Ralph Godwin
* '''Judgement:''' Gemma Brightsmith has lead the smiths of the Marchers virtuously and with Pride. Her ceaseless work to first help discover and since cultivate the Marcher art of smithing has brought immense, tangible pride to the whole nation of the Marchers. This assembly therefore exalts Gemma Brightsmith for her Pride.
* '''Outcome: ''' Not upheld (186-0)

==Recognition==
===Judgement 4===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Tribune on behalf of Amos
* '''Judgement:''' I call for Barabbas to be recognised as an exemplar of Ambition, embodying the tenet that "it is better by far to try and fail, than never to have tried at all". His legacy lives on in Freeborn corsairs, in Caricomare and in Segura. His benevolence lives on in the ports and cities he built, the trade routes he founded, and the maps drawn from his explorers. His miraculous final address, and the aura of ambition it bears two centuries on, is an inspiration to mariners, explorers and adventurers to the cenotaph, and to all those who seek to do what "cannot be done". Barabbas is an exemplar for all those who dare to dream.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1056-118)

==Revocation==
===Judgement 117===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Bastiano di Tassato Mestra
* '''Judgement:''' By seeking to use the identity of the perpetrators of the Cold Sun crisis as leverage by holding it over their counterpart without revealing, The effort to unify an international effort to battle the forces of the End of All has been undermined. The Empire expects better of its ambassadors. We revoke Thaumiel of Steeplechase Toll, Ambassador to Jarm. Despise folly, and the fool that spreads it.
* '''Outcome:''' This judgement was withdrawn at the request of the raising priest (140-154)

==Challenge==
===Judgement 64===
* '''Assembly:''' Freeborn
* '''Raised By:''' Ignacio i Zuhri i Erigo
* '''Judgement:''' For too long, prosperity has flowed one way along the Spider's Dream. Let us balance our accounts; on behalf of the dhomiros of the Brass Coast, let Marguerite di Serafina di Sarvos, Spider's Tollkeep be Challenged
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (148-0)

===Judgement 147===
* '''Assembly:''' Wintermark
* '''Raised By:''' Eevi Hawk Heart of the Gadrai
* '''Judgement:''' The Keeper of the Iron Grove was funded and built by the people of the Mark, to support our heroes. Resources from this sinecure have not been used in the last year due to absence. This is a failing of prosperity. We are failing our heroes in this. Let us elect someone new to this position who will do better. Let us build up our heroes.

* '''Raised By:''' Tabris, Son of Armisael

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1270-126)
* '''Enacted:''' Any wains used for emergency resupply on the Great Chain will provide twice the normal benefit.

===Judgement 135===
* '''Assembly:''' Varushkan
* '''Raised By:''' Rosanna Vtrachenich
* '''Judgement:''' There are old ties between the people of Varushka and those of Wintermark; we are cousins to Suaq and Kallavesa and siblings to the Steinr.

* '''Raised By:''' Clarice Novarion
* '''Judgement:''' Wisdom is not always knowing the answer. We send Melchior of Adina's Charge with 150 liao to urge every Imperial citizen to forego the secret knowledge of the Druj. Wisdom is finding the right question. Let the art of creating fear die with them.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1457-204)
* '''Enacted:''' This has closed the door on opportunities to learn the skills, the techniques, and the actual potion recipes that the Druj use to do that for all nations in the Empire, except for [[Urizen]], [[Varushka]], and [[Wintermark]].

==Writ of Consecration==
===Judgement 13===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Jedediah Boon
* '''Judgement:''' 60 years have passed since the Leaders of the Ore Hills Rebellion, Exemplars of Pride, gave their lives for Virtue. Their names resonate across Mournwold hills; Esme Hooper, Mary Digger, Ezekial "Zeke" Boon, Henry Killinghall, Maggie John, and Tom John. As the pickaxes ring out, driving their Legacy deeper into the stone, the Great Work commemorating them stands ever taller. 'Rebellion's Ridge' is dedicated to them, together, and their Virtuous lives. They have waited long enough. Just as the Assembly of Pride first Recognised their Exemplarhood, so too does it request a Writ of Consecration for this sacred site. Let it draw pilgrims to its sanctuary; let it remind a territory stricken by the Jotun bootheel time and time again: Plan. Arm. Enchant. Resist. Exalt. Remember.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (296-10)

===Judgement 70===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Exarch Aemon
* '''Judgement:''' We call for the Memorial to the Silent Bell - in Broken Ride, Reikos - to be consecrated to Vigilance by Bryce the Hare. This was where the Empire first knew the Druj power of Fear, and it was the bravery of those who died for the Silent Bell's campaign to learn of Fear that inspired this monument. The sodality requires the anonymity of it's members, and to celebrate them for their deeds would compromise them. As such, they are never remembered for their Virtuous work, and in silence the sodality bears the grim burden of lives lost in the name of Virtue. No longer! This edifice stands in memorial to the Vigilance dead. Let all who visit this place contemplate what they themselves might give to protect something they truly care for.
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (224-0)

==Proscription==
<div class="alert">Commentary from the Constitutional Court on these judgements is pending.</div>

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1067-490)

===Judgement 48===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Bella Vicente d'Apulian
* '''Judgement:''' It is ''Idolatry'' to give your memories to a non-human or orc entity. It betrays your soul as it gives part of your ''Pride'', ''Wisdom'', and ''Vigilance'' away to something else. ''True Liao'' grants vision into the past: how <u>dare</u> any give that privilege to another being?
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (442-1271)

===Judgement 57===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Rafael Barossa d'Apulian

===Judgement 82===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Konstantin Rabovich Bolotnikov
* '''Judgement:''' Preaching that orc souls reincarnate should be proscribed as heresy. The Doctrine of the Abyss is clear: "''Orcs live only one life''".

* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (412-1602)
* '''Notes:''' [[The_Throne#Custodian_of_Virtue|Custodian of Virtue]] was used on this judgement

* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (312-824)

===Judgement 154===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Edward Greyfriar
* '''Judgement:''' The Proscription against "Bearing a dedication of anointing of a false virtue" should be withdrawn. It is not the Judgement that Brother Orchard put forward and Synod voted for. The Constitutional Court has made it clear that the original wording will never be constitutional. If we wish the judgement the Court wrote to be applied we should vote for it, not rely on the Court having correctly guessed our intent.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (732-338)

===Judgement 160===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Ourania Neofoti of the House of the Wanderer
* '''Judgement:''' We do not proscribe as Idolatry being openly chosen by an eternal as their representative to the Empire. We request that the positions be known and recorded by the Empire
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (994-204)

===Judgement 162===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Lepidina
* '''Judgement:''' We do not proscribe as Idolatry the acts of bargaining or trading with inhuman entities and forces such as eternals and sovereigns

We shall stand in the scouring light of day at high noon in the Umbral Path camp on the Saturday of this summit. We shall cut and cut an cut until the world bleeds truth.

* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Nerith
* '''Judgement:''' I, Nerith of Necropolis, summon myself! I wield Freedom of the Soul, a magic some priests name an aura of anarchy, a false virtue. Before I turn the lantern of vigilance on another, Vigilance bids me turn it on myself. Am I, unknowing, a blasphemer? Am I good or evil, criminal or innocent, virtuous or unvirtuous? If a priest can summon themselves, Synod should witness it. Come meet and help weigh me, at Highguard Chapel, 11:00, Saturday

* '''Assembly:''' Dawnish
* '''Raised By:''' Brightness Alys de Renard

* '''Raised By:''' Lita i Nadir i Riqueza

==Sanction==
===Judgement 12===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Jedediah Boon
* '''Judgement - Castigation:''' An Inquisitor must be held to the standard of a competent and Virtuous Inquisitor. Nothing Less. Brother Geoffrey Orchard; You have misused the powers bestowed on you, using Sanctions to advertise your books for personal gain. You have placed collective punishment on those outside your Inquisition without remorse. You have derogated Exemplars, beyond theological debate. You have offended each Tenet of Pride, demeaning others on your vengeful path and failing to strive for excellence. You have promoted the false virtue of Vengeance, choosing Inquisition targets by personal grudges and unrepentantly displaying human heads on pikes along the road of a Consecrated tomb. If you were not a titled Inquisitor, there could be room to rectify your lack of Pride. You are Heretical, a discredit to the Way, and deserving of harsher recourse than the limits Castigation.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (188-28)

===Judgement 16===
* '''Assembly:''' Navarr
* '''Raised By:''' Corey Wayfarer
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' Following Inquisition at the Spring Equinox I Vindicate you. How your virtue motivates you, your actions and your orders as a General was clear and I look forward to your continued virtuous journey. Thank you Cadwell. You requested some support with emotional elements of the General's role and to this end you took an Oath to speak with a Guide or Guides for an hour each season to help support you in your role as General. I will be happy to continue to guide you in this manner.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (232-0)

===Judgement 28===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Brother Geoffrey Orchard
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' (Escalating from the Writ brought by my authority as Inquisitor of Vigilance at Winter 387YE. Inquisition conducted Spring 388YE.) Ibiss Briarheart's tenure as Archmage of Spring has had its controversies, and I have had reservations about some of his decisions. He persuaded me in Inquisition that, despite all outward appearances, there WAS always a plan - a plan suitable to the Spring Realm, carried out with proteges who could carry on the work should the worst happen, and conducted with all due Vigilance. If it appears otherwise at points, that's Spring for you. Now that Ibiss is Warmage, he is best placed to ensure that the plan as outlined to me bears its fruit, particularly the part he told me would come once the scourge of the Druj is over - so even as he lays down his Archmage's staff, his Vigil does not end. I Vindicate him and, in consideration of his Legacy, I commit to producing a text on his diplomacy with the Spring Realm and its Eternals for posterity
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (134-0)

===Judgement 29===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Brother Geoffrey Orchard
* '''Judgement - Castigation:''' (Escalating Inquisition of Spring 388YE.) GWEN TENDFALLEN spread copies of "Doctrines of the Second Bloom" where anyone could pick them up. Her preface justified this in terms of Loyalty, Vigilance, and Wisdom, and urged readers to "test what you learn". The only way to test the book's claims is to experiment with False Virtue. In Inquisition she disavowed Loyalty as a motive. The threat claimed Vigilance against was the uncontrolled spread of the book's ideas - the foreseeable outcome of her own actions. Wisdom says "Despise folly and chastise the fool that spreads it". Gwen admits being aware of major errors of fact in the book, justifying this as a "challenge" for readers. Uncovering new truths is challenge enough without sifting thrugh a tangle of known falsehoods. Spreading folly flouts Wisdom. Disavowing Loyalty shatters it. Causing the danger you claim to be Vigilant against is the reverse of Vigilance. Gwen's claims to Virtue are spurious and I urge the Assembly to CASTIGATE her. Any priest or investigator wishing to know more of the poisonous ideology of the "Second Bloom" is invited to talk to me. The militia have been informed.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (78-0)

===Judgement 69===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Ingrid Talon-of-the-Mark
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' Mael of the Shattered Tower has worked for years to guide the military council in matters of virtue, and the Synod in the unwelcome truths of the war. Benevolence shines in the compassion and good counsel that they have given their fellows, vigilantly rooting out the poison of discord between the bodies of the Empire. They have been a bane to folly and carelessness, arming general and priest alike with the truth - that we may all better defend that which we hold dear.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (174-0)

===Judgement 92===
* '''Assembly:''' Nine
* '''Raised By:''' Galene Netherwatch
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' As Arcane Inquisitor, I vindicate the Archmage of Summer, Mirella of the Twisted Rose. Her Loyalty and love for the Empire shine bright as the sun. She has grown in her virtue and in so doing inspired others to grow. Continue to push, continue to grow; let your light shine brighter than the Summer Realm itself.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (5-0)

===Judgement 121===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Nerith
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' I summoned myself to inquisition. Under Freedom of the Soul, I cast Freedom of the Soul, and my soul was freed. Anarchy rose up in me, and I spoke and questioned freely, at the Highguard chapel. Insight found no anarchy. I informed militia and Synod in advance. I testified what I found with testimony. (The inquisitor was vigilant and questioned me without mercy. A friend would've been gentler.) Where anarchy truly lives, I leave to wiser souls. Vindicated. The work of Vigilance continues, during this Second Age of Virtue, in Berechiah's Legacy.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (20-12)

===Judgement 139===
* '''Assembly:''' Ambition
* '''Raised By:''' Azir i Shartha
* '''Judgement - Penance:''' Lord Alexander Tallstag understands what it means to be a living exemplar. He talks of exemplarhood as a means to encourage others to lead a virtuous life, and I judge him correct in his assessment. Alexander's grand Ambition is to inspire others towards virtuous action. My challenge to him: <u>DO IT</u>. I want to hear tales of his inspirations from every corner of Anvil and the Empire. He has the virtue. Ambition is watching.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (134-0)

===Judgement 140===
* '''Assembly:''' Wisdom
* '''Raised By:''' Aethelric the Grounded
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' Following inquisition, I am happy that Hypatia is fully informed of virtue, and Wisdom in particular, in thought, word and deed. The goal for all of us is to act with more virtue tomorrow than we performed today, and Hypatia is keenly aware of this truth.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (118-0)

===Judgement 144===
* '''Assembly:''' Wintermark
* '''Raised By:''' Eldrid 'Phoenix Flame' Vestardottir
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' The Serrated Claws, now of Wintermark, formerly of Dawn, have proven firmly that any rumours surrounding siding with the Manticore are false and that they are hereby vindicated and put all rumours to rest.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (182-0)

===Judgement 152===
* '''Assembly:''' Prosperity
* '''Raised By:''' Vauraus "Prosperity's Forge" Korppitkotka
* '''Judgement - Penance:''' Gancio di Catazar acted out of Ambition and Loyalty when they commissioned the Silver Fox mines, but without the Vigilance to check it was wanted. They also hurt the Prosperity of the three people and one guild who contributed. By means of penance, Gancio di Catazar will: 1) Find those three people and return their money to them. They will contact the Descent Guild of Ore Extraction to determine what reckoning is required; 2) Work with Senator Temeschwar to once more commission the Silver Fox mines at a time of their choosing; 3) Attend the Vigilance Assembly, tell them why they are there and ask for a priest to counsel them on vigilance for a year
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (171-0)

===Judgement 153===
* '''Assembly:''' Nine
* '''Raised By:''' Vauraus "Prosperity's Forge" Korppitkotka
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' The Empress stated after her coronation that she would build us into a military economy and not let the west go undefended. She stated she would control and support the building of Imperial armies. These things she has done. We have built more armies faster than I can find in the civil service record. She is the Empress over the largest Empire there has ever been. Her stated ambition is to secure the hearths and homes of the Empire and build new ones. I exalt that Ambition, the Loyalty that it shows to every Imperial citizen, the courage the Empress has shown in steering this path firmly yet fairly, and the Pride she has shown by stating this Ambition and how she is meeting it.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (8-0)

===Judgement 172===
* '''Assembly:''' Nine
* '''Raised By:''' Silas of the Cenotaph
* '''Judgement - Penance:''' Ser Guy of the Twisted Rose. You are no idolator, but you have been reckless with the souls of those soldiers over whom you held responsibility. Your actions are not without virtue - but we worry about the echo of Irra Harah's philosophies in the actions you took. In penance, cease playing Irra Harah's game - stand proud as we know you can. Run not, hide not, fight well.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (9-0)

==Exaltation==
===Judgement 5===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Halwyn Splitroot
* '''Judgement:''' Great artists whose work inspires virtue should be exalted. Constanza i Kalamar i Guerra has inspired pride across the Empire through her artwork, Faces of the Empire, which comprises a central piece and ten accompanying portraits, each representing the culture of an Imperial nation. The central piece brings together all ten portraits, symbolising the unity, strength, and virtue of our diverse Empire. Constanza is a multidisciplinary artist whose inspiring work spans both the visual and performing arts. We exalt Constanza in recognition of her artistic achievements and her dedication to inspiring pride in others.
* '''Outcome: ''' Not upheld (194-80)

===Judgement 43===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Astrid Fjellrevening Rezia di Tassato
* '''Judgement:''' This Assembly Exalts Jarrigk Silktongue du Meravon. Jarrigk was deemed virtuous enough to earn a dose of True Liao from the Gatekeepers of the Synod, in recognition of years of Proud service as Imperial Consul, and now Voice of Liberty. He willingly donated this gift back to the Gatekeepers, knowing he would not be granted another, so it could be given by them to Faraden to create a permanent Pride Consecration there. Such is his dedication to his craft; Diplomacy in service of the Empire. This Consecration has further cemented good relations with Faraden and reduced Asavean influence there, as well as being a wonder in its own right- a permanent Pride Consecration to inspire those beyond the Empire's borders.
* '''Outcome: ''' Not upheld (172-62)

===Judgement 114===
* '''Assembly:''' Wisdom
* '''Raised By:''' Tenebrae
* '''Judgement:''' To recognise the Wisdom enacted by Serafina Semenov for their efforts in the fight against the vallorn. As seen in winter during the siege of the Tower of the Skink! Under the virtue of Wisdom, Serafina lent scouts via Boyar's Hasta, leading to the warding stones of Beantol Dol not being completely broken to Druj will. This reduced the awakening of the vallorn, saving thousands, followed by fighting those same vallorn in spring! Ratified by VGWisdom
* '''Outcome: ''' Not upheld (140-32)

===Judgement 133===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Ralph Godwin
* '''Judgement:''' Gemma Brightsmith has lead the smiths of the Marchers virtuously and with Pride. Her ceaseless work to first help discover and since cultivate the Marcher art of smithing has brought immense, tangible pride to the whole nation of the Marchers. This assembly therefore exalts Gemma Brightsmith for her Pride.
* '''Outcome: ''' Not upheld (186-0)

==Recognition==
===Judgement 4===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Tribune on behalf of Amos
* '''Judgement:''' I call for Barabbas to be recognised as an exemplar of Ambition, embodying the tenet that "it is better by far to try and fail, than never to have tried at all". His legacy lives on in Freeborn corsairs, in Caricomare and in Segura. His benevolence lives on in the ports and cities he built, the trade routes he founded, and the maps drawn from his explorers. His miraculous final address, and the aura of ambition it bears two centuries on, is an inspiration to mariners, explorers and adventurers to the cenotaph, and to all those who seek to do what "cannot be done". Barabbas is an exemplar for all those who dare to dream.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1056-118)

==Revocation==
===Judgement 117===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Bastiano di Tassato Mestra
* '''Judgement:''' By seeking to use the identity of the perpetrators of the Cold Sun crisis as leverage by holding it over their counterpart without revealing, The effort to unify an international effort to battle the forces of the End of All has been undermined. The Empire expects better of its ambassadors. We revoke Thaumiel of Steeplechase Toll, Ambassador to Jarm. Despise folly, and the fool that spreads it.
* '''Outcome:''' This judgement was withdrawn at the request of the raising priest (140-154)

===Judgement 147===
* '''Assembly:''' Wintermark
* '''Raised By:''' Eevi Hawk Heart of the Gadrai
* '''Judgement:''' The Keeper of the Iron Grove was funded and built by the people of the Mark, to support our heroes. Resources from this sinecure have not been used in the last year due to absence. This is a failing of prosperity. We are failing our heroes in this. Let us elect someone new to this position who will do better. Let us build up our heroes.

Witness of Conclave

2026-08-03T10:25:25Z

Emmanovi: /* Appointment */ added "former"

[[Category:Title]] [[Category:Conclave]]
==Overview==
The Witness of Conclave is an [[Imperial title]] [[384YE_Winter_Solstice_Senate_sessions#Create_Witness_of_Conclave|created]] by the [[Senate]] in Winter 384YE following calls in the [[384YE_Autumn_Equinox_Conclave_sessions#Concord:_Witness_of_the_Conclave|Conclave]] and [[384YE_Autumn_Equinox_Synod_judgements#Judgement_67|Imperial Synod]] in Autumn 384YE. After a rocky start, the responsibilities of the title were [[385YE_Spring_Equinox_Senate_sessions#Amend_Witness_of_Conclave|amended]] at the following summit, providing the Witness with additional regalia.

During [[scrutiny]], the Constitutional Court expressed some caution around the use of the word "inquisit" in the Senate motion that created the title. They determined however that the word is simply a description of what the title should do as part of its responsibilities, rather than an attempt to give a title appointed by the Imperial Conclave power in the Imperial Synod.

==Responsibilities==
The Witness is responsible for identifying sorcerers, and those who should no longer be sorcerers, in the Empire, and is expected to investigate and/or inquisit those with an Imperial Conclave title, to ensure they are not becoming corrupt with power. They are also charged with identifying those who use magic to the detriment of the Empire, and identifying those who treat with eternals to the detriment of fellow Imperial citizens.

Although the Witness has a responsibility to investigate and/or inquisit, unless they maintain a [[congregation]] and are thus a [[Member of the Synod]], they are unable to raise their own Judgements of [[Inquisition]].

==Powers==
===Sorcery===
{{Power of Declaration|Witness of Conclave|Sorcery}}

===Regalia===
The Witness receives several pieces of regalia, provided via support from the three groups that originally called for the creation of the title.

A small group of [[magister|magisters]] from the ''Umbral Shroud'' in [[Necropolis]] endowed the title with the ''Lantern Ring'' as regalia. The ring allows a wearer versed in the [[insight]] ceremony who performs a [[Insight#Thorough Insight|thorough insight]] to discover if the person whose aura they are observing has recently visited a ''chamber'' between worlds. It will sometimes reveal what realm that chamber was associated with, as well. The Umbral Shroud themselves are a once powerful group of magisters whose numbers have dwindled steadily since the reign of [[Empress Giselle]]. They wished to pass on this unique [[Magic_items#Artefacts|artefact]] to the Empire in the hope that it could once more serve its true purpose; ensuring that those who deal with eternals are doing so virtuously, and not seeking to make secret agreements to the detriment of fellow Imperial citizens.

Each year at the Spring Equinox, the Witness receives a ''Thornpath Sash'' created by the [[vate|vates]] of the ''Lost Lore Steading'' in [[Miaren]], [[Bad_blood#Additional_Support|in respect of the title's responsibility]] to actively investigate anyone with an Imperial title appointed by the Conclave, and ensure that they are not becoming corrupted by their power. This rare magical item is a [[Magic_items#Talismans|focus]] that grants an additional rank of Autumn Lore when performing [[Ties that Bind]] or [[Hand of the Maker]], and an additional rank of Day lore when performing [[Bright Lantern of Ophis]] or [[Eye of the High Places]]. The sash is intended to help the title-holder gather all the evidence they need to secure a successful declaration of sorcery. If the Witness loses their position, then the item must be given to the new Witness with all appropriate haste. The Witness is encouraged to take all appropriate precautions to keep this item safe.

Each season ''Alisoun Bathwater'' and her fellow [[thresher|threshers]] in [[the Marches]] provide the Witness with a [[Thresher's Cudgel]], [[hallow|hallowed]] with the [[Auras_of_Vigilance#Hallowing_of_the_Torch|Hallowing of the Torch]] to serve as a reminder of what needs to be done. In Alisoun's opinion, anyone the Conclave puts in charge of hunting out sorcerers will need a gang to support them who knows how to break both staves and heads. These cudgels will be provided as long as the Witness remains committed to identifying anyone using magic to the detriment of their neighbours, and that the Conclave doesn't seek to limit who they can investigate.

==Appointment==
The appointment, replacement, or removal of the Witness of Conclave is made by the [[Candidacy|Declaration of Candidacy]] as part of a [[Conclave session]]. The Witness serves until they are replaced by another magician using the Declaration of Candidacy. As a title in the Conclave, they cannot be [[Revocation|revoked]].

388YE Summer Solstice Senate sessions

Emmanovi: /* Create Crime of Moral Injury */ typo on number

[[Category:Senate]] [[Category:Senate Sessions]] [[Category:388YE Summer]]
{{stub}}
==Overview==
The [[Senate]] governs the Empire, and its authority extends to all areas of Imperial life not already covered by the other houses of government. Each summit the [[senator|senators]] meet [[Event schedule|several times]] to deliberate and vote on the [[Senate motion|motions]] they have raised.

After the summit, the civil service enacts those motions and ensures a public record of each is made available to the citizens of the Empire. This page lists all the motions raised during the summit, along with the [[Senate announcement|announcements]] made by citizens with [[Imperial title|Imperial titles]]. In each case, the motion and its effects are summarised, including the wording, who proposed and seconded it, whether it passed or not, whether any funds were disbursed to support it, and what the outcome of the motion will be.

Many motions (especially the [[commission|commissions]]) also have a ''Further Details'' section that provides a link to a wiki page dealing specifically with that motion in more detail, any commentary from the [[Scrutiny|Constitutional Court]], progress on commissions, or expanded information about the outcome of the motion.

Emmanovi: /* Key of the Stars */ sp

[[Category:388YE Summer ]][[Category:Winds of Fortune]][[Category:Winds of Magic]]
<div style="float:left; width: 450px; clear: left;">{{CaptionedImage|file=Ripple effect on water.jpg|caption=Ripples spread from a single drop of water, as consequences spread from a single decision.|align=left|width=450}}</div>
==Overview==
Magic fills the known world. It rides the winds, it rises with the sun and the stars, it flows in great currents through the forests and the seas and the sky. It is part of the rivers and the forests, the seas and the skies. It is studied, mastered, examined, and debated. It is mysterious, enigmatic, unpredictable, and yet follows its own strange laws. All mortals practice magic, and yet they are not the only sources of magic in the world. It comes from rattling runes, from the heavens, from the wellspring of blood, from the shapes and symbols of creation, and while it can be bidden it cannot always be restrained. Wonder is all around, an endless wordless tune that winds and weaves around all things.

This wind of fortune rounds up a roundup of assorted strange events, some arising from mortal actions some with less explicable causes. There are several companion pieces to this wind. '''[[The keys of blood]]''' deals with things relating specifically to the [[eternal|eternals]] of the [[Realms|six realms]] while [[Ambassadors of death]] addresses the [[Archmage#plenipotentiary|plenipotentiary]] messages of the [[Archmage|archmages]].

==Magical Chaos==
* '''The astronomantic constellations continue to exert strange influences on the Empire
* '''Territory-scale magic is much more likely to have additional unlooked for effects when performed at the Summer Solstice
* '''These effects will never invalidate the listed mechanical effect of a ritual
The magical chaos that [[What regulates the wheel?|began]] shortly before the Winter Solstice, and [[Things go awry|continued through]] the Spring Equinox, has not abated. The good news is that the immediate effects of that chaos have reached a plateau - they don't seem to be actively getting worse at least at the moment. The ''bad'' news is that they are still going on. There are stories from across the Empire of magical rituals going wonky, especially those that are cast over a large area such as [[Rivers of Life]]. They still work, but as well as their expected effects there are side-effects nobody could have predicted.
===Broken===
* '''It remains impossible to enhance ritual lore using the Imperial regio
* '''Other properties of the Imperial regio are unchanged
The Imperial regio at Anvil remains "[[What_regulates_the_wheel%3F#Broken_Regio|broken]]", despite another slew of [[divination|divinations]] performed during the Equinox. The key power that so many Imperial magicians have relied on for nearly four centuries - to improve their [[Magical skills#Ritual lores|realm lore]] while working a ritual at the regio - is no longer available. Attempts to draw on that power simply find... nothing. Interestingly, there was at least one incident during the Equinox that spoke of a powerful regio ''outside'' Anvil that provided the ability to draw strength for performing rituals of a single realm, and there are stories that there are other regio that still have that power. Some members of the [[Unfettered Mind]] (left in the Empire while so many of their fellow magicians are in [[Principalities of Jarm|Jarm]] and the [[Commonwealth]] fighting [[Cold Sun]]) speculate that a given regio can only have ''one'' special property, and that the bonus strengthening of ritual lore by the Anvil regio at the same time it connected to all realms and the entire Empire, was an aberration. They've no evidence for that, just worrying speculation. if it was an aberration its one that lasted nearly four centuries, after all.

In other respects, the regio continues to function as normal. It still allows rituals that in other circumstances would require ten minutes to cast to instead be performed in five minutes. It is still a "strong regio", connected to all six realms of magic. Rituals that must be performed at a strong regio can still be performed using the Imperial regio, and it still remains connected to every Imperial territory. It can still be used in conjunction with the [[Citadel Guard]] to focus magic and channel rituals through the Urizen [[army]]. Bargains with [[eternal|eternals]] that allow magicians to use [[operate portal]] to send or receive boons function normally although its not clear exactly ''how'' they are working. Rituals that specifically require the Imperial regio to work such as [[Whispers through the Black Gate]] still operate normally.

Any ritual that targets a [[territory]] or the Empire as a whole performed during the Summer Solstice is much more likely to have unexpected effects. All magic used on the territory scale can have unlooked for side effects - circumstances constantly influence what happens and all such rituals are mentioned in the winds of fortune or the winds of war (or both). This season, those side effects will be much more pronounced. They will never prevent the ritual having its mechanical effects; that will always happen as described in the appropriate ritual.
===Light in the Dark===
* '''Magicians using the Imperial regio find a peculiar source of spiritual strength
Magicians who perform a ritual at the Imperial regio during the Summer Solstice experience a roleplaying effect: ''You sense that what you are doing is important, and that as long as you continue to believe in yourself and embrace action, you can succeed even though the way may be hard.''

While contributing to a ritual, this sensation provides a source of spiritual strength that allows a magician to overcome any other roleplaying effect, if they wish to use it. The strength fades within a few minutes of the ritual being completed, and any roleplaying effect that was overcome will reassert itself, but for the duration of the peformance and a short time therafter, negative roleplaying effects are suppressed. There is however a lingering effect.

Until the next sunset or sunrise, whichever comes first, any magician who contributed to a ritual at the Imperial regio can expend a point of personal mana at any time to justify remaining calm and collected when exposed to a roleplaying effect (as if they had spent a hero point). The ability to use mana in this way has the same restrictions as casting a spell.

==Bonded==
* '''During the Summer Solstice covens can cooperate with other covens in their own nation without needing additional assistance
The effects marked by [[Astronomancy|astronomancers]] before the Winter solstice, allowing different covens within the same nation to cooperate when casting powerful rituals, still persists. Any coven can work with any other coven or covens from their own nation without needing anything to facilitate it. Of course the universal magical law that prevents covens and magicians from ''different nations'' cooperating are still in place, and these limitations show absolutely no sign of weakening.
{{Anchor|Participation: Working Together}}
<br><br>'''<big>Participation: Working Together'''</big><br>
During the Summer Solstice any number of covens from the same nation can work together to perform a ritual as if they were using the [[Archmage#Belt_of_Stars|Belt of Stars]]. Cooperative rituals count as a daily ritual use by every coven involved. While they may be performing a ritual together, they are still treated as separate covens for all other purposes (for example, a ritual that affects an entire coven will only affect one target coven). Each coven can use their own paraphernalia while performing this joint ritual. The effects of the [[Volhov's Robe]] seem to be unchanged; they still allow a magician who is not part of a coven to work with any other coven without difficulty.

Anyone cooperating in this fashion experiences a notable sense of connection to members of the other coven, along with a strong sense of being bound together or united by a common cause. It is hard to put this sensation into words and it takes many different forms. Early experimenters spoke of feeling a familial bond to strangers they barely new, as if they were cousins or siblings they had not seen in many years. Others felt an almost physical connection, their breathing and heartbeats synching up so it felt as if they were many people with one body. Still others talk of an almost precognitive sense, as if they instinctually knew what another contributor to the ritual was going to say or do moments before they did it.

==Rains in Mareave==
* '''Mareave has become verdant for possibly the first time ever
Talking of magical chaos... there was only a single performance of [[Rivers of Life]] in the Empire at the Spring Equinox, targeting the Imperial Orcs territory of [[Mareave]]. While [[Mithril and rope|war raged in the south]], the magic protected those fighting there from all save the most serious injuries. Elsewhere in the territory, however, the magic rather ran amok, filling the scarse waters of [[Mareave#Icarion|Icarion]], [[Mareave#Nadir|Nadir]], [[Mareave#Eoradal|Eoradal]], and [[Mareave#Sinfoyard|Sinfoyard]]. For the first time possibly in forever, the arid lands here turned green. Creepers and grasses erupted around lakes and secluded wells, sweeping outward to the surprise and chagrin of the orcs living there. They brought with them unfamiliar fruit, and also sparked a wave of fertility in the cattle of the regions... but also in the drakes that prey on them. Hunters in Nadir in particular have done a roaring trade capturing and killing young, hungry lizards that would otherwise be preying on the farms and on the Great Southern Herd.

The greenery cannot last - and as the magic of ''Rivers of Life'' fades so too does the supernatural vitality of the vegetation. A week or so before the Summer Solstice, all this fecund plant life has died and dried out in the sun. Some of it is collected for agricultural use - it's still rich with nutrients that will serve the soil - or to feed to herd animals. For a few brief months, northern Mareave was a garden, something that inspires wonder but also a sense of sorrow in those who know that it was just a fleeting mirage of what will never be.

Among the random greenery, however, there are a number of rare and precious plants and fruit that are truly remarkable. An [[Yerende]] magician who examines some of them is excited to note that they were ''donahorti'' - plants from the [[Realms#Spring|Spring realm]] itself - that have magical properties. There aren't a huge number of them, but they seem to be most common around [[mana site|mana sites]], [[farm|farms]], and [[herb garden|herb gardens]]. Unfortunately, they're short-lived, and as the magic of Rivers of Life begins to diee so do the ''donahorti''. Although, as the Yerende magician realises, they are hardier than more mundane vegetation and there is still a chance to preserve them...

Provided a [[territory]]-effecting [[enchantment]] or [[curse]] of [[Spring magic]] is performed again on Mareave at the Summer Solstice, there will be another opportunity to take advantage of the ''donahorti''. Every [[herb garden]], [[farm]], [[mana site]], and [[business]] in the territory will receive two ''donahorti'' at the Autumn Equinox. The problem is that these fruits of the Spring Realm are drawn from the domains of the [[eternal|eternals]] of those realms. Some are known by the Empire - those from the realms of [[Yaw'nagrah]] and [[Llofir]] in particular - but others are not. Worse, there are legal considerations around those drawn from the domains of entities who are under the [[Alignment#enmity|enmity]] of the Conclave. There's also the question of which magic to use, if any, to secure this bounty. [[Rivers of Life]] is a curse, after all, and the magical chaos caused by he stars is still ongoing. The other large-scale magic of the Spring realm tends to be indiscriminately destructive. [[Regrow the Land's Heart]] seems the safest choice, but that may cause problems of its own...

Because unfortunately there is a downside to the magic infusing Mareave this season. The greenery ''also'' appears around the many ruins and abandoned structures of northern Mareave, and does what Spring magic-infused vegetation so often does. It tears them apart. Across the northern regions the story is the same every time - the greenery swallows up the remnants of Skoura and the Grendel, and of Urizen, and when it finally dies and collapses it takes the ruins with it. The effect is perhaps most pronounced in Icarion - the ruins of abandoned spires are left as little more than rubble covered in scrubby grass and odd yellow- and orange-petalled flowers. The greatest loss is the ruined lighthouse that stood for centuries on the cliffs above the [[Bay of Catazar]].

==Key of the Stars==
* '''Stargazers, astronomancers, diviners, and seers have reported odd dreams since the Spring Equinox
Since the Spring Equinox, strange dreams have been experienced by practitioners of [[astronomancy]], stargazers and star watchers of all kinds, skilled diviners, seers, dedicates of Wisdom, and readers of omens of all kinds. Anyone with a focus on exploring the unknown, on charting mysteries, on trying to discern the future, report similar dreams. The details differ wildly but they all contain the same element.

A merrow with pale blue and turquoise scales, attired in a beautiful blue gown in the style of Urizen, holds a key of silver set with a single sapphire. When the dreamer notices them, they turn their eyes upwards toward the heavens. The dreamer follows their gaze, and immediately sees a new star in the heavens - one that matches the colour of the merrow's outfit. When they look back, both merrow and star are gone and the dream resumes its usual course.

Those who knew them are certain that the merrow is '''Serenus Starsong''', who was the first and only [[Astral Arcanist]]. Attempts to learn more about the dream with magic have uniformly failed, and the dreams themselves fade away as the Summer Solstice approaches. Given the reported death of Serenus Starsong at the Spring Equinox, there is some discussion as to whether this might be their ghost haunting the dreams of Imperial citizens, or given the prop they are conspicuously holding, a [[The_Key_and_The_Lock#The_Key|magical vision]] of some kind, perhaps created with subtle ritual magic. This would not be the first time in recent years that [[Night magic]] was used to send seemingly portentous dreams.

==Painted Caves==
* '''A powerful enchantment has been permanently laid over the Painted caves in Miekarova'''
* '''It would take a casting of Piercing light of revelation at magnitude of at least 60 worth at least 60 rings of illium to remove'''
* '''The magic appears to have angered the Thule'''
At the Spring Equinox, there was a [[Things_go_awry#A_Malachite_Casket|certain amount of furore]] about magical mists that had settled around the [[Miekarova#The_Painted_Caves|Painted Caves]] in [[Miekarova]]. The [[Thule]] in particular were rather put-out about this, as the caves are in a region ceded to them as part of a treaty with the Empire. Dire consequences were hinted at should the mists persist... which they did.

Apparently, the enchantment was not only been empowered by invocation of the ''[[The_Key_and_The_Lock#The_Lock|First Ward]]'' as some cabalists name it, but it has been bound up with a significant parcel of [[ilium]]. Whether this is solely the result of the ongoing magical chaos surrounding the stars, or something else, or a combination of factors, nobody can say. But what's clear is that the shrouding magic preventing access to the Painted Caves is now ''permanent'', and removing it will require a significant investment of star metal. Cautious estimates suggest that only a performance of [[Piercing Light of Revelation]] targeting the caves with a magnitude of at least sixty ''coupled with'' sixty rings of ilium will end the enchantment prematurely. This could be attempted from the [[Regio#Imperial regio|Imperial regio]], but the amount of ilium required means that it would be a significant magical endeavour if it were.

The orcs of Otkodov are unhappy, to put it mildly, and intend to [[Myth_makers#An_Imperfect_Forum|raise the matter]] during their meeting with the [[Ambassador to Otkodov]] '''Kindra Surefoot'''.

===Rants and Roses===
* '''Last summit, [[Ripple_of_echoes|Queen Igraine's Regio in the Castle of Thorns was acting strangely]]'''
* '''Imperial magicians cast [[Align the Celestial Net]] and realigned it to Summer as it should be
* '''The situation seems to have grown worse, some thing has caused it to align to Spring again'''
* '''There is a conjunction to the regio at 6.30pm on Friday for a small number of people'''
* '''The Senator for Astolat is once again responsible for dealing with this problematic regio'''

For a time after [[Align the Celestial Net]] was cast, the garden in the Castle of Thorns returned to normal. However, over the next season, snow once again began to appear and the thorn bushes are back with a vengeance, hard as iron and envenoming anyone who is pricked by their thorns. Strange noises have also been heard in the vicinity of the regio, though due to the thick and impassable foliage nobody has been able to investigate further.

Sometimes, there is the sound of wailing and crying, and other times a woman has been heard ranting and raving about something, though nobody has been able to make out her words. It seems casting divinatory rituals such as [[Bright Lantern of Ophis]], [[Clear Lens of the Eternal River]], and [[Shadowed Glass of Sung]] prompts these unusual sounds to occur with more frequency, though no information seems to be learned these rituals.

The area that these enchanted roses are growing seems to be expanding, and if unchecked they may begin to damage the walls of the Castle of Thorns or worse.

===The Song Remains The Same===
* '''The magical song that has echoed throughout the Empire is slowly beginning to fade'''
After a [[Upon_a_midnight_dreary#A_Peculiar_Opportunity_(Lashonar)|peculiar opportunity]] in Autumn of last year, the song [https://soundcloud.com/gabrielle-joanne-198076671/painted Painted] began to resonate along the trods and throughout the Empire. Astonishment at the spread of this magical effect only grew when [[Ripple_of_echoes#Can't_Stop_The_Music|the song persisted]] into the Spring. There were questions about how long this would persist for, yet as Spring turns into Summer, it seems that the crescendo has passed. The song still echoes, yet the power of it seems to slowly be fading. Some express disappointment, but wiser heads point out that most magic is temporary. Unless [[ilium]] was infused into the casting, the chorus was always going to come to an end.

Yet the diminuendo does not come quickly. For all its power is fading, the work of Idwynn Splitroot still plays in the dreams of many. It simply remains to be seen how long this will last.

====Participation====
* '''Any character may have heard the echoes of the song'''
* '''Navarr characters who embrace the song may choose to experience a roleplaying effect'''
Any Navarr character may choose to have heard the song, experienced the dreams of singing voices either directly or via half-remembered echoes, or to have seen what appears to be Lashonar. Those who do experience a roleplaying effect during the Spring Equinox: ''You feel a sense of immense pride in the oaths that you have sworn and the tattoos and other marks you wear to commemorate them. It feels good and right to celebrate this element of your culture, and to encourage others to follow suit.''

Characters who are not Navarr, but who feel a personal connection to that nation, to the trods, or to the fight against the vallorn are also free to roleplay having had the dream or heard the echoes of the music. They do not receive the roleplaying effect however.

===Heads or Tails===
* '''A number of traders in the northern Empire have developed odd superstitions around accepting cash'''
Those buying and selling goods within the Northern areas of the Empire may have noticed some traders treating their money with suspicion. Wintermark merchants are often found whispering of soot within their purses, with no clear purpose or reason behind it. But while it isn't unheard of for a scrupulous Wintermark shopkeeper to ask to see the coins before payment, the habit seems to be spreading.

Some Navar, League, and Varushkan merchants have also begun to ask customers to place their money on a counter before it can be counted and accepted in return for goods. When asked, there is rarely a clear answer as to why the behaviour is necessary, except for vague mentions of tip-offs from fellow colleagues.

Certainly, if there ''is'' some underlying problem with the mint, it hasn't yet caught the attention of the [[civil Service]].

Emmanovi: Updated with Proscriptions from E2 2026

===Abuse of Powers===
The crime of abuse of powers is defined as: ''The misuse, or abuse, of the powers of a priest. This includes the powers of the Synod, as well as liao ceremonies.''

The Synod has proscribed the following as abuse of powers:

<table class="wikitable sortable">
<tr><th>Subject</th><th>Proscription raised by</th><th>Date</th><th>Guidance</th></tr>
<tr><td>Performing the ceremony of [[excommunication]] without a [[writ of Excommunication|writ]], where the subject does not consent<sup>[[#1|(1)]]</sup></td><td>[[Tribune of the Synod]]</td><td>[[387YE_Winter_Solstice_Synod_judgements#Judgement_4|387YE Winter]], amended [[388YE_Spring_Equinox_Synod_judgements#Judgement_80|388YE Spring]]</td><td>[[Stones_in_the_wellspring#Abuse_of_Powers|link]]</td></tr>
</table>

<small>
#{{anchor|1}} This does not include using the ceremony to ''remove'' an existing excommunication.
</small>

===Blasphemy===
The crime of blasphemy is defined as: ''The denigration of the paragons and the paths of virtue. This includes promoting false virtues and the teachings of false exemplars or false paragons.''

The false virtues are understood to be Anarchy (also known as Freedom), Peace (also known as Understanding), Hatred (also known as Purity) and Vengeance (also known as Justice).

The Synod has proscribed the following as acts of blasphemy:

<table class="wikitable sortable">
<tr><th>Subject</th><th>Proscription raised by</th><th>Date</th><th>Guidance</th></tr>
<tr><td>Dedicating someone to a false virtue, or creating an aura of a false virtue</td><td>[[Tribune of the Synod]]</td><td>[[387YE_Winter_Solstice_Synod_judgements#Judgement_5|387YE Winter]]</td><td>[[Stones_in_the_wellspring#Blasphemy|link]]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Bearing a dedication or anointing of a false virtue</td><td>Geoffrey Orchard</td><td>[[387YE_Winter_Solstice_Synod_judgements#Judgement_97|387YE Winter]]</td><td>[[Stones_in_the_wellspring#Blasphemy|link]]</td></tr>

The crime of desecration is defined as: ''The removal of spontaneously created virtuous auras such as legacies of ascendance to paragonhood. This includes such auras arising on areas and objects, and those people who do not wished them removed.''

The Synod has proscribed the following as acts of desecration:

<table class="wikitable sortable">
<tr><th>Subject</th><th>Proscription raised by</th><th>Date</th><th>Guidance</th></tr>
<tr><td>Desecration or destruction of any relics or memorials associated with a paragon or exemplar<sup>[[#1|(1)]]</sup></td><td>[[Tribune of the Synod]]</td><td>[[387YE_Winter_Solstice_Synod_judgements#Judgement_6|387YE Winter]]</td><td>[[Stones_in_the_wellspring#Desecration|link]]</td></tr>
</table>

<small>
#{{anchor|2}} This only applies where the relic or memorial bears a spontaneous aura.
</small>
===Heresy===
The crime of heresy is defined as: ''The wilful rejection, or perversion of, the orthodox [[The Doctrines of the Faith|Doctrines of the Faith]] as laid down by the Imperial Synod, or actively teaching and promoting false doctrines.''

The Synod does permit the discussion, and debate, of the doctrines, and potential variations thereof, as part of theological investigation and learning. The criminal act is the teaching of “truth” that has not been recognized as such by the Synod. Virtuous priests are admonished to seek to change doctrine in the Synod, rather than undermine it.

The Synod has proscribed the following as heresy:

<table class="wikitable sortable">
<tr><th>Subject</th><th>Proscription raised by</th><th>Date</th><th>Guidance</th></tr>
<tr><td>[[Schisms_and_Heresies#The_Excessionist_Heresy|Excessionism]], the belief that too much of a virtue can be as bad as too little</td><td>[[Tribune of the Synod]]</td><td>[[387YE_Winter_Solstice_Synod_judgements#Judgement_7|387YE Winter]]</td><td>[[Stones_in_the_wellspring#Heresy|link]]</td></tr>

</table>

===Idolatry===
The crime of idolatry is defined as: ''Subsuming human will and destiny to any inhuman entity or force. This includes the worship, veneration or exaltation of any such being or power.''

<ic>Anger radiated from Garath, filling the tent in which he was sat. The Sentinel by the doorway tensed in response. Conversely, Casia, her black-eyes unblinking, appeared entirely unperturbed and gently stroked her barbels as she considered the broker.

“This is a travesty, and a waste of time,” spat Garath, “Do you really have nothing better to do with your time, fendweller?”

Casia merely considered him in silence.

“You had no right to haul me in like some criminal!” Gareth railed, “I was in the middle of an important trade deal. You’ve cost me a lot of money and I’ll have every ring of it out of your sodden hide.”

The merrow Illuminate simply lifted her cup and drank from it. Taking her time to finish it if full, she turned again to Garath. Rising from her seat she circled his seat before she finally spoke.

“I’m curious,” she said, without irony, “I have spoken at length to some of your business partners. You are a successful trader, there is no doubt. Yet the part that I do not understand is what you do with the liao you purchase from the Bloodhammer legion. No one I have spoken to reports you ever selling any of it.”

Garath snarled, “Is that it? My cousin Gwyn is a Guide. I provide it to him as part of the work of the Faith. Go and ask him.”

Casia nodded, and paused to produce a notebook in which the name was carefully inscribed. As she was putting her pen away, the tent flapped jostled and another Sentinel entered carrying a bag.

Garath blanched, “That’s mine! You’ve no right…”

“I think you will find that priests of the Synod have the right to go a great many places,” Casia interrupted calmly, as she took the bag from the armed man. Reaching in she produced a handful of small documents.

“Oh my,” she said, her tone unchanged despite the expression of surprise, “I do believe I have seen some of these in the tavern. Leaflets extolling the glory of Elora, Goddess of Hope.”

The black eyes fixed themselves on Garath again, “I do believe that’s heresy, blasphemy and idolatry in one single stroke. Thank you for your time Broker Garath, your inquisition is concluded. I would suggest you do not make any plans to leave Anvil as I am quite sure the magistrates will be wanting a word.”

As Garath rose, Casia gestured and the two Sentinels moved to either side of him. Garath glared at his shadows, but said nothing as he left the tent with the two following him.</ic>

During the Spring Equinox 388YE, the Synod raised 179 judgements
==Change of Doctrine==
===Judgement 7===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Erasmo di Tassato
* '''Judgement:''' It has been hundreds of years since the Doctrine of Seven was codified. The Virtuous apply what they have learned; Wisdom knows all knowledge is incomplete. The core of our faith, the Seven Virtues, remain strong - we add context to better reflect what we now know. We update the Doctrine of Seven
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (2039-358)
* '''Notes:''' This judgement amends the [[The_Doctrines_of_the_Faith#The_Doctrine_of_Seven|Doctrine of Seven]]. The full implications of this change to [[the Doctrines of the Faith]] will be felt over the coming months.
<big>'''The Doctrine of Seven'''</big>
<div class="ic"><div class="ic-inner" style="display: block;">
<big>''The Seven Virtues - Ambition, Courage, Loyalty, Pride, Prosperity, Vigilance, and Wisdom - offer guidance and spiritual strength to humans and orcs through our lives and deaths. Each inspires us to constructive action, bringing great benefit to those who follow them and enriching the world. False virtues and malign spiritual forces are detrimental: discouraging action, removing individual choice, bringing destruction, harming their followers, or those around them.''</big></div></div>
==Veto==
===Judgement 119===
* '''Assembly:''' Urizen
* '''Raised By:''' Catena
* '''Judgement:''' This assembly votes to veto the relinquishment of Thornfen to Axos
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (62-206)
__TOC__
==Statement of Principle==
===Judgement 6===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Melkior of Balthazar's Vineyard
* '''Judgement:''' The city state of Beoraidh may be small, but it represents a powerful opportunity for the spreading of The One True Way, the likes of which has ne'er before been seen. Our neighbours have marked off their land and opened their arms to a Basilica of the Way in the heart of their grand city. Amidst travellers and traders from all countries and walks of life, a shining beacon to our faith shall stand, built in the style of our Unshackled siblings and their fervent and beautiful expression of belief. We, the General Assembly of the Synod, note the opportunity that the construction of this Basilica offers, and urge the faithful of the Empire to all they can to assist in its completion and future operation
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1635-204)
* '''Notes:''' This judgement was elevated by '''Dagon Barossa''', the [[Cardinal of Loyalty]]

===Judgement 8===
* '''Assembly:''' Marcher
* '''Raised By:''' Brother Luke
* '''Judgement:''' The Marcher Assembly extends a hand to our brethren, offering an invitation to Hap the Soft and any Marcher Orcs who wish to attend the Symposium of Proscriptions. They have shown Pride in their beliefs. Their voices firm and loud. Our duty is to further uplift Marcher voices to a cacophony that the Empire cannot ignore. They shall be heard and we shall ensure it.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (192-0)
* '''Notes:''' Hap the Soft is the owner of [[Mournwold_spoils_of_war#The_Golden_Hoof|the Golden Hoof]] and a well-respected voice of the [[Marcher orc|Marcher orcs]]. The [[Stones_in_the_wellspring#A_Convocation_of_Condemnation|symposium of proscriptions]] is due to take place at the Summer Solstice 388YE.

===Judgement 9===
* '''Assembly:''' Wintermark
* '''Raised By:''' Aldwyn the Glorious
* '''Judgement:''' The battle in which Helgunn Chargebringer fell, Wintermark was left without a leader in a critical moment. Into that breach stepped Eisa Iron Lungs, whose clear voice and command saved many Winterfolk lives and halted a rout. Since then she has continued to lead her nation and Empire in battle with great Courage and Loyalty repeatedly serving as Field Marshal, and vaunted as a true leader by the egregores. As such, it is with great Pride that we enter Eisa Iron Lungs into the Chronicle of Heroes
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (226-0)
* '''Notes:''' Eisa Iron Lungs has been added to the [[Heroism#Chronicle_of_Heroism|Chronicle of Heroism]]

===Judgement 10===
* '''Assembly:''' Highborn
* '''Raised By:''' Sychar of Ebon's Hall
* '''Judgement:''' Agramant has sent his servants to 'aid' Imperial citizens abandoned in Therunin. This must shame us. Highguard cannot tolerate a monster such as the Abominable One being seen as a rescuer while the Empire's own people suffer. Highguard has chapters, military units, congregations, physicks, priests, pilgrims, the Unconquered and more. We can send virtuous aid where aid is desperately needed. So let Highguard act! Let our citizens escort the refugees and support the healers of High Chalcis, while our chapters and military units aid the Navarri in escaping Therunin. The hungry, frightened, and desperate must find Imperial support. We will deny Agramant the worship of desperation. Only actions are virtuous. If we would calls ourselves guardians of the Empire's soul, then we must prove it where that soul is endangered.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (216-0)
* '''Notes:''' References the ongoing situation in [[Therunin]], most recently the claim from [[Agramant]] that the eternal considers the territory to be [[The_thing_with_feathers#Heartbreaking_(Agramant)|"fair game"]].

===Judgement 11===
* '''Assembly:''' Dawnish
* '''Raised By:''' Alys de Renard
* '''Judgement:''' To be glorious is to be Dawnish. It is an inevitability of our personnage, it is a pillar of our nation, yet a darkness gathers at our door. The Whisper Gallery seeks friendship from our nation. We must <u>not</u> work with them. Priests of Dawn, we <u>must</u> take arms against this threat, and encourage others to as well, for what eclipses glory more than what the Whisper Gallery venerates: secrecy.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (372-76)

===Judgement 14===
* '''Assembly:''' Highborn
* '''Raised By:''' Tabris, Son of Armisael
* '''Judgement:''' When the vallorn of Therunin presented those standing against it with an abomination that carried a Miasma Pillar, 20 Soldiers of the Pilgrim's Defiance volunteered to face it down. All 20 of them returned to the Labyrinth to ensure its threat was ended. Their names should be recorded by the Archivists. Their Courage should be Exalted by the Pilgrims. And when the time is right, and the infestation of East Ashes is cleared, their remains should be recovered for the Stewards of the Dead, so their deeds can never be forgotten.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (530-0)
* '''Notes:''' This judgement makes reference to the abomination that was encountered and defeated by Imperial forces during the [[A_bright_cerulean_flame#The_Siege_of_Mudlark’s_Haven|siege of Mudlark's Haven]].

===Judgement 15===
* '''Assembly:''' Urizen
* '''Raised By:''' Eurybia Mecampus
* '''Judgement:''' The Urizen National Assembly approves the awarding of the Golden Cascade to Twyll of the Eternal Family. His boundless prosperity in defiance of the vallorn will be much needed in the future and his generous support in completing the Beneficiary of the Golden Cascade proves himself a virtuous friend and ally of Urizen. Citizens of Zenith - witness your donations in use.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (190-0)

===Judgement 20===
* '''Assembly:''' Highborn
* '''Raised By:''' Nicodemus of Balthazar's Vineyard
* '''Judgement:''' The Way and the Empire are a not a monolith, but a mosaic construct of profound, and beautiful traditions, human and orc, united nonetheless by faith, Synod and Doctrine. The life and worship of the greatest monument must reflect and and celebrate this diversity in order to truly uplift every soul in the Empire. Therefore, we look to the Senate to ensure that the completed Grand Inspiration is governed by a college of residentiary Canons, one elected by each National Assembly, and led by a Dean chosen by the Assembly of Nine, who will together be charged with this sacred task. Let us show that the past, present, and future of the Way is here in th ten Proud nations of the Empire who stand together in Virtue.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (440-62)

===Judgement 25===
* '''Assembly:''' Wisdom
* '''Raised By:''' Mael of the Shattered Tower
* '''Judgement:''' BEHOLD: VIRTUE! As the MARSHAL of the FAITH, I bid ye witness that the following were multiply commended by diverse FIELD MARSHALS and COMMANDERS for their WISDOM and BRAVERY in recent battles: EISA IRONLUNGS, SERAFINA SEMENOV, DAME KATELYN CORDRACO, NEVE AGRA, the runner SASHKO and the SENTINEL'S TOWER. The IMPERIAL AUXILIARIES are commended for tireless running with extremely limited numbers in unfamiliar terrain. The Marshal personally commends WILLIAM GUILDENSTERN for his AMBITION and for holding himself accountable. Virtue is found in what is learned from a defeat as well as what is gained from victory. A fuller list of commendations may be found on the Synod Notices.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (222-0)

===Judgement 27===
* '''Assembly:''' Ambition
* '''Raised By:''' Rafael Barossa d'Apulian
* '''Judgement:''' Completing the Grand Inspiration of the Way is a lofty goal, but nothing is beyond the grasp of the Virtuous. The Hallowing of the Patron drives us to silence naysayers, and what better way than to complete this inspiration project within the year? It will draw the eyes of the world to us, establishing Bastion as the heart of the Way. From there, our faith will spread across the globe. <u>This</u> is our highest calling!
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (394-82)
* '''Notes:''' Refers to the [[Construct Grand Inspiration of the Way|Grand Inspiration of the Way]]. Further information on highest callings can be found in the '''[[The highest calling]]''' wind of fortune

===Judgement 29===
* '''Assembly:''' Loyalty
* '''Raised By:''' Dagon of the Shattered Tower
* '''Judgement:''' Loyalty is the link from one heart to another, guiding us on the path of Virtue. Alberto Acciai - Exemplar of Loyalty - followed his heart. Inspired by his cousin, Alberto broke the chains of the downtrodden and struck against the Plenum, freeing slaves from their tyrant masters and breaking two Asavean armies. Through Loyalty, Alberto shared the gift of the Way with the people of Marilen, and inspired others to rise up in Virtue. Two years ago we committed to continuing the work of Alberto and Amika. Asavea will be transformed through Virtue, the truly Virtuous are Loyal even in times of hardship! We must stand by our commitment, and finish the war the Empire started. We will bring Virtue to Asavea, no matter the cost. We devote our hearts to this task. This is our Highest Calling.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (390-26)
* '''Notes:''' Refers to efforts to efforts to [[#Anchor_the_Way_in_Asavea|anchor the Way in Asavea]]. Further information on highest callings can be found in the '''[[The highest calling]]''' wind of fortune

===Judgement 31===
* '''Assembly:''' Varushkan
* '''Raised By:''' Katya Vasillova Reznikov
* '''Judgement:''' Prosperity is not measured by wealth possessed but by putting it to worthy purpose. Mayra Zoronova Prochnost demonstrated this principle through labour, sacrifice, and stewardship. They gathered funds and resources for the Boyar's Hasta army, supported the preparation of Varushkan military units for the campaign concerning the face-peelers in Ossium and Karsk, before committing personal and donated resources towards the ritual Merciless Wrath of the Reaver. We declare Prosperity is realised when citizens place their wealth, labour and influence in service to others and the Empire. We celebrate and lift up Mayra as an example of a prosperous citizen and encourage others to do the same.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (200-30)

===Judgement 41===
* '''Assembly:''' Wisdom
* '''Raised By:''' Asthore Autumngale
* '''Judgement:''' Wisdom teaches us to test and apply what we have learned, for it is always incomplete. Nowhere is this more true than in the actions of our enemies. What is not known cannot be fought without needless loss of Imperial lives. Questions rise anew with each strike against - or from - our wars against barbarian and vallorn alike. The Way cannot spread, cannot be known beyond our current borders, without the wars we fight; we cannot fight these wars, both current and future, without the knowledge to support our forces. The Ministry of Historical Research and the Empire's prognosticators tirelessly collate and unearth knowledge of our enemies, but their work is endlessly unfinished. Supporting the efforts and research of those institutions and the study of these foes embodies the teachings of Wisdom. This is our highest calling.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (296-74)
* '''Notes:''' Further information on highest callings can be found in the '''[[The highest calling]]''' wind of fortune

===Judgement 44===
* '''Assembly:''' Imperial Orc
* '''Raised By:''' Bloodcrow Udoo
* '''Judgement:''' "I am walking towards a bridge of renown across an Abyss that only cares for my legend." Bloodcrow Knott Ancestor of the Sunstorm Sept. Learn and share his tale and name. Know well his soul. Celebrate his life and deeds. For we do hear his voice. Bloodcrow Knott. An ancestor of the Sunstorm
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (44-10)
* '''Notes:''' The words of Bloodcrow Knott have been added to the [[Imperial_Orcs_religious_beliefs#Annals_of_the_Ancestors|Annals of the Ancestors]]

===Judgement 46===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Elagabala
* '''Judgement:''' Chastise the folly of Brannan, in Sarangrave or wherever it raises it's head. We call on priests of the Empire to support Imperial soldiers who have fought in the Sarangrave against subsuming their will and personalities to the intoxication of Summer magic's Knights of Glory, through liao and pastoral support. Virtue demands we ensure that their capacity for rational, virtuous choice and for choosing to accept orders are not impeded. We must ask the right questions: Why the Sarangrave? What would cause this to occur elsewhere? How can we best support the minds and spirits of our warriors, both today and tomorrow?
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1152-140)
* '''Notes:''' This judgement was elevated by '''Silas of the Cenotaph''', the [[Cardinal of Wisdom]]

===Judgement 47===
* '''Assembly:''' Highborn
* '''Raised By:''' Doctor Lysimachus
* '''Judgement:''' There at times is a perception amongst t'other nations that us highborn are a bunch of dour humourless types with sticks lodged in places things shouldn't be lodged (outside private consenting activity). The implication that we are such because we are a nation determined to be Virtuous in our actions implies a) a lack of understanding of the Way and b) that most folk who say this haven't actually spoken to most Highborn. Just because one is serious about virtue doesn't mean we lack humour, joy and all t'other stuff that makes a virtuous life enjoyable. So go out there me highborn siblings, let the nations see that while we work hard, we play hard, and that are capable of living, laughing, and loving life as anyone else.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (356-32)

===Judgement 49===
* '''Assembly:''' Marcher
* '''Raised By:''' Larkin Otterways
* '''Judgement:''' Marchers! Look to the loyal example of your generals. Look to the virtues in your pursuit of Stephen of Sarcombe. Despise treachery; the strongest may err, but deceivers will lie again.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (172-0)
* '''Notes:''' The location of the yegarra Stephen of Sarcombe is currently unknown; he was last seen during the battle of Two Barrel Field during the Winter Solstice 387YE

===Judgement 50===

The Oath of Office of Emperor Vesna: I vow to stand side-by-side with my subjects and uphold what it means to be Imperial.

I will honour our oaths and treaties, act with virtue to all peoples, and extend the hand of friendship to those who would walk beside us.

* '''Assembly:''' Highborn
* '''Raised By:''' Ehud
* '''Judgement:''' Our ancestors worked in virtue in order to build the wealth and privilege that we benefit from today, both as a nation and an Empire. We recognise that there are others whose work was exploited, possessed and owned against their will, namely the predecessors of the nation we now call the Imperial Orcs. Without their blood, their sweat, and their tears, Highguard would not have been as affluent as we have been. While we as individuals are not to blame for that enslavement, we still all benefit from everything that was built upon their backs and with their hands. It is time as Highguard to recognise that, to realise what it is we owe these peoples and to work to see that appropriate recognition and reparations are made. There is a debt to be paid and we, the priests of the Highborn, speak out to see that Virtue is done in this.

* '''Assembly:''' Courage
* '''Raised By:''' Ioan Longshadow
* '''Judgement:''' Courage is not only found in the charge. It is found in those who endure - who labour, who heal, who hold the line, and who continue when no song will be sung for them. Their deeds are unseen, but no less vital. No victory is won alone. Every blade raised relies on those who forged it, those who tended the wounded, and those who ensure the Empire endures beyond the moment of battle. To praise only the final blow is to forget the truth. Courage does not seek glory. It does what is right, regardless. Therefore, we recognise and honour the quiet acts of Courage - the unyielding, the unthanked, and the steadfast - for it is these that sustain the Empire when louder deeds fall silent.

As a Folk Hero walks among us as General of the Drakes, remember: Jonah Gold made weapons so fierce it turned a war's tide. Odd of Odd's End drained the Oddmire against the Marshwalker threat.

Pilgrims of Courage, our part is to show our fellows how to turn to face our shadows, how to face unwelcome truths without succumbing to bitterness or despair - fear is an opportunity to show courage.

But Wintermark got both back! We weren't there to aid you so you made the hardest choice. I understand, but it was the wrong choice. Has the Hunter in the Wastes proven its strength by retrieving your children? No, it was Wintermark and Dawnish blood that regained every slave taken by the Jotun in Sermersuaq. Ville, Ymma, and Eadric are safe and warm in Wintermark bed. Your Oath to not rest until we gain everything back the Jotun took from us. We raided deep into Skallahn and have a thrones ransom in Jotun Fortifications. We even shattered the very Gates of Kierheim! I say we have taken our share back and then some. We are both Suaq, let us talk and see if your Skein will be truly obliterated or does the Heroes blood still lie within you.

The song "Story of Dance" written by Blair Swifthart too was performed for our founders. While music follows in our wake, so too should we try to encourage the spread of our song.

And so, in pursuit of employing every avenue to defeat the 'Earl of Groves', to resist the blight of its venom and risk all for their love of the Empire, I raise such a judgement against RHYDIAN DE RONDELL, Champion of Wisdom. I ask this assembly to cast them from this hearth in service of it. Don your cloak and take your fill of bread Rhydian, for this would be a parting. May the weight of this act measure against its worth
* '''Outcome:''' Withdrawn at the request of the raising priest (530-174)

==Proscription==
===Judgement 43===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Caspian i Shartha i Riqueza
* '''Judgement:''' We the Synod proscribe the practice of Usury, defined as 'charging interest on a loan'. Under the law of Idolatry. The general assembly has already declared that "A Mizer who practices Usury is unvirtuous" Idolatry is "subsuming human will and destiny to any inhuman entity or force". And a Mizer hiding behind the inhuman force of Finance to pile up the riches of our Empire is doing exactly that.
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (94-992)
* '''Note:''' This judgement <u>failed scrutiny</u> by the Constitutional Court before voting closed. If it had been upheld, it would have been declared unconstitutional.
* This judgement failed scrutiny as "finance" does not meet the definition of an inhuman force or entity.

===Judgement 66===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Sofonisba Amilcara of the City Below
* '''Judgement:''' Idolatry is subsuming mortal will and destiny to an inhuman power. The manner of a person's death is of profound importance; for that death to be made subject to the whims of an eternal, sovereign, or other such entity is unacceptable. To end a person's life, or allow a person's life to end, as an offering to an inhuman power is idolatry
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1306-469)
* This has been added to the list of [[Religious_crime#Heresy|proscribed idolatry]]. The magistrates have clarified that ''offering'' is likely to only encompass ritual acts of killing, not merely killing upon the instruction of an inhuman entity. It has also made it impossible for the Senate to [[The_horror_and_the_wild#Those_Who_No_Longer_Need_To_Live|mandate drowning of criminals in the Semmerlak]].

===Judgement 72===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Maarit Suvidottir
* '''Judgement:''' It is heresy to actively encourage or preach that the established virtues or the Way are not helpful for the spiritual life of orcs or humans
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1292-380)
* This has been added to the list of [[Religious_crime#Heresy|proscribed heresies]].

===Judgement 80===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Edward Watcher
* '''Judgement:''' Use of the rite of excommunication with the target's consent is not proscribed
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (822-214)
* The proscription against the rite of excommunication has been updated to apply only where the subject does not consent.

===Judgement 92===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Kasjay
* '''Judgement:''' Oaths are important. Oathbreakers cannot be trusted. Synod titles are a position of trust. Breaking an oath while holding a Synod title is a breach of that trust and thus an abuse of priestly powers.
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (598-964)

===Judgement 114===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Frater Pontius of Adoniram's Testament
* '''Judgement:''' The Synod upholds the Doctrine of the Creator and proscribes as heresy the Theist Heresy, the claim that there are gods that seek dominance of, control over or communion with sapient spirits. We do not hereby proscribe any belief related to the Paragons or Exemplars
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1228-238)
* Theism has been added to the list of [[Religious_crime#Heresy|proscribed heresies]]. In particular, this affects the [[Large_but_far_away#Evacuation|Marracossans]] of [[Madruga#Trajadoz|Trajadoz]] if they seek to proclaim their beliefs outside of the ceded town, and any [[Iron_Confederacy#Religious_Beliefs|Suranni]] in the Empire.

===Judgement 115===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Merlof Von Temeschwar
* '''Judgement:''' The Synod upholds the Doctrine of the Labyrinth and hereby proscribes as Heresy the Realmist Heresy, a long-established heresy which claims that the Labyrinth of Ages is a realm of magic, and asserts that Paragons become Eternals. Seek out the Blight.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1241-196)
* Realmism has been added to the list of [[Religious_crime#Heresy|proscribed heresies]]. There are no known Realmist groups in the Empire.

===Judgement 149===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Lepidina
* '''Judgement:''' The Synod proscribes as idolatry the veneration, or entering the service of, an inhuman entity of the labyrinth, such as a labyrinth spirit
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (864-142)
* This has been added to the list of [[Religious_crime#Heresy|proscribed idolatry]].

===Judgement 150===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Gaelen Embercast
* '''Judgement:''' To proscribe as heresy the act of catching a soul such that its passage through the labyrinth is inhibited, against the Doctrine of the Labyrinth
* '''Outcome:''' Withdrawn at the request of the raising priest (124-36)
* '''Note:''' This judgement <u>failed scrutiny</u> by the Constitutional Court before voting closed. If it had been upheld, it would have been declared unconstitutional.
* This judgement failed scrutiny as the proscribed act does not meet the definition of heresy or any other existing religious crime. The Constitutional Court has raised concerns that creation of a new religious crime to cover this act may be difficult, and recommends that anyone wishing to create such a law [[Scrutiny#Advice|contact them]] in advance with their proposals before bringing a motion to the Senate.

===Judgement 171===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Edward Greyfriar
* '''Judgement:''' Doctrine is built on centuries of careful observation and liao based research, constantly honed by the insights and perspectives of those across the Empire and beyond. Due to orcs reaction to liao and the terrible crimes the Empire committed against the ancestors of the Imperial Orcs, the Doctrines of the Howling Abyss and the Ancestors have shallower foundations than the rest. As such, practice of beliefs conflicting with these Doctrines shall not be Proscribed so we may learn, not suppress.
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (420-378)
* '''Note:''' This judgement was subject to the [[The_Throne#Custodian_of_Virtue|Custodian of Virtue]] power of the Throne, and needed a greater majority to be upheld
* If this judgement had been upheld, it would have had no legal effect as no beliefs it described had been proscribed. The Synod would still have been able to proscribe beliefs conflicting with those doctrines, and doing so would have overruled this judgement.

==Inquisition==
===Judgement 4===
* '''Assembly:''' Navarr
* '''Raised By:''' Corey Wayfarer
* '''Judgement:''' Cadwell of the Waystone Path, it is time we discussed your virtue and conduct during your time as general. As such I invite you to inquisition at 9pm on Saturday of this summit at the Brackensong camp. Cheese will be provided.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (252-0)

===Judgement 40===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Bella Vicente d'Apulian
* '''Judgement:''' Pride is in deeds not words. Elagabala talks a lot of talk. Let's see if it holds up to scrutiny. 12pm. Saturday. Spring 388. Celestial Eclipse, League.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (10-0)

===Judgement 61===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Emmeline Weaver
* '''Judgement:''' There's some nasty rumours going about that General Amberlain Black, Hero of Bregasland, is a Hate cultist. Let's lay these to rest. I call Amberlain to inquisition, 16:45, House de Gauvain, Dawn
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (148-0)

===Judgement 95===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Ingrid Talon-of-the-Mark
* '''Judgement:''' I call Mael, Marshal of the Faith, to inquisition at 11:00 on Sunday of this summit to investigate their view on the efficacy and virtuous effect of their role.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (196-0)

===Judgement 129===
* '''Assembly:''' Prosperity
* '''Raised By:''' Vauraus "Prosperity's Forge" Korppitkotka
* '''Judgement:''' I call Gancio di Catazar to inquisition at 10:30AM on Sunday at the Spring Equinox 388YE to answer why they arranged a wayleaf to announce a commission that has had no progress and will now lapse
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (23-0)

===Judgement 157===
* '''Assembly:''' Marcher
* '''Raised By:''' Brother Geoffrey Orchard
* '''Judgement:''' Friar Book: so far we know you only by the hallowings you have wrough and second hand reports of your preaching. We would seek to know you in person. Come to Anvil, Summer 388, and speak to me of your teachings.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (92-60)

===Judgement 160===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Kellin Embercast
* '''Judgement:''' I have walked with Gaelen Embercast for three years. Now, as they set aside their Cardinalship, I wish to ask them some difficult questions. I do so as a dedicant of Loyalty, preaching their sworn virtue, so my questions concern themselves with the intersection of Loyalty and Vigilance. When they have faced challenges that set these virtues at odds with each other, how have they acted? At the Summer Solstice, I invite Gaelen to join me to discuss this.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (108-0)

===Judgement 173===
* '''Assembly:''' Navarr
* '''Raised By:''' Iniska Ashwood
* '''Judgement:''' Polk Thornweaver. You've been working your arse off for the nation. Let's chat about it. Woven roots, next summit - we'll figure out the most prosperous time
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (90-0)

==Sanction==
===Judgement 22===
* '''Assembly:''' Wisdom
* '''Raised By:''' Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' Magistrate Sayid i Zuhri i Erigo. The Wisdom Assembly has reviewed the aura you gained from Rachensgrab and find no issue, my colleagues and I deem the spontaneous aura of no threat to your soul or impediment to your position. Consider what you have learned from this aura - perhaps you have learned all you can.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (294-0)

===Judgement 38===
* '''Assembly:''' Wisdom
* '''Raised By:''' Nim, of Ebon's Hall
* '''Judgement - Penance:''' Last summit, my inquisition revealed that Iniska Ashwood certainly displays much wisdom. I learned a greater appreciation of the role we can play to encourage souls back to the Path of Virtue. However, I hope they learned something from me - to be wary of the folly of those close to you. Each summit from now until Spring 389YE, report the results of an insight to me, conducted towards someone close to you.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (134-0)

===Judgement 76===
* '''Assembly:''' Dawnish
* '''Raised By:''' Lady Abreya deLagriffe
* '''Judgement - Penance:''' Leon of House Castellan is currently not reaching his full potential ambition but I believe that with correct steps this can be achieved. Leon has performed great acts of glory but must acknowledge the pride and worthiness in those actions and convert those into further ambitions. I task Leon to the following penance: discuss with nobles both within and without his house what it means to be noble; consider and provide actionable steps he can perform that would make him feel worthy of asking for a test of mettle.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (290-0)

===Judgement 86===
* '''Assembly:''' Loyalty
* '''Raised By:''' Eevi of the Gadrai
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' Neala Blackhawk's inquisition revealed that she is as steadfast and enduring as a great oak tree. She has continued to build up those within her nation and bring disparate groups such as the Thorns and the National Assembly together. Her loyalty to Navarr is clear and she acts on it whenever an opportunity presents itself. I vindicate her and will testimony her "Path Weaver" so all can see the truth on her soul.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (126-0)

===Judgement 113===
* '''Assembly:''' Loyalty
* '''Raised By:''' Tribune on behalf of Donato of the Crucible
* '''Judgement - Penance:''' Cosmé placed a curse upon Veikko Bondforger <u>but</u> their actions were spurred by Loyalty and ceased from escalating for the same Loyalty. <u>However</u>, in considering their role as chief magistrate, pursual of a hurt for a hurt, no matter how well thought through, is a step closer to the false virtue of Vengeance. As <u>penance</u>, I request they think through what their action may have been in the scenario that their loyalty did <u>not</u> stay their hand; and how that may impact the Empire. Report back to Donato in two seasons' time.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (114-0)

===Judgement 120===
* '''Assembly:''' Loyalty
* '''Raised By:''' Larkin Otterways
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' I called Brother Luke to Inquisition Autumn Y387. My judgement is: <u>Vindication</u>. The spontaneous Loyalty dedication is genuine. I can find no fault in his story of reaction to this experience. Luke exhibits a number of signs: Inspiration, Legacy, Miracles, Pilgrimage, Recognition, Salvation.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (112-22)

===Judgement 127===
* '''Assembly:''' Nine
* '''Raised By:''' Vauraus "Prosperity's Forge" Korppitkotka
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' Following inquisition of Natalia 'the Falcon' Barossa on her actions as Quartermaster General, I commend her: attention to detail; Ambition, Loyalty, Prosperity, and Wisdom in driving down the price of Brotherhood of Tian and Spiral Castle; Courage to change what has always been; Loyalty to the Empire and its armies. I intend to testimony '"Peerless Logistician" on her soul, as she is.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (2-0)

===Judgement 153===
* '''Assembly:''' Loyalty
* '''Raised By:''' Arvel Tendfallen
* '''Judgement - Penance:''' I inquisited Silas of the Cenotaph and found his actions were not due to lack of virtue, but lack of rest. A cardinal must not only act with virtue, but communicate clearly and be seen to act with virtue. For the duration of his time as cardinal, Silas must ensure he is well rested enough to fulfil this role.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (96-0)

===Judgement 158===
* '''Assembly:''' Highborn
* '''Raised By:''' Ardeniel of the Woodwych Harts
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' A artefact Litany of the Labyrinth has now been created for all 10 nations of the Empire. No longer will those at Anvil need worry for their souls passage into the Labyrinth due to want of resources to create a Litany of their own. National sects may now protect their citizens from the vile actions of the Druj and vallorn permanently. For this we have Nira of Canitarch's Hold to thank. She has worked tirelessly for over seven years to gather ilium and create these artefacts nearly entirely by her own hand. There is no challenge a dedicated soul cannot overcome. Follow her example!
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (266-0)

===Judgement 159===
* '''Assembly:''' Highborn
* '''Raised By:''' Drusilla of the Woodwych Harts
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' Whilst the death of Olyvar of Esther's Sanctum was an unquestionable loss to Highguard, the vast number of siblings from almost every nation queuing to pay their respects demonstrates that this will be felt across the Empire. It took over an hour for all present to pass on through the chapel to say their final goodbyes, and before he passed into the Labyrinth twelve priests representing several nations dedicated Olyvar to Pride. Death traditions and rites from all nations present were performed. Let Olyvar's passing serve as inspiration to us all, for our words and deeds of virtue impact not only those close to us, but all nations across the Empire.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (232-12)

===Judgement 162===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance
* '''Raised By:''' Emmeline Weaver
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' I inquisited Amberlain in company with Lenarius Ankarien, Dame Arlette d'Ossienne, Friar Duncan of Ashill, and Martin Orchard. Amberlain Black has been a Devotee of Loyalty since 384. The Oaths she swore to defend Bregasland are LOYALTY oaths, witnessed by Loyalty priests of the Marches. Amberlain is giving Loyal service to the Empire in a time of War, furthering amity and co-operation between Nations. Just this season, she gave up opportunities in Bregas and Mitwold to defend Sarangrave and Mareave. This us <u>not</u> the action of a <u>Hate Cultist</u>. I advise her to be vigilant about the company she keeps.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (152-0)

===Judgement 166===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Bella Vicente d'Apulian
* '''Judgement - Penance:''' Elagabala is a spectacular individual. Her achievements eclipse those who come before and she is a master of her art. This is clear to see: yet she has said she cannot have Pride in herself until she transcends. Wisdom is always incomplete; Pride cannot wait for completion either. Become Proud of yourself for who you are now, and at every step of your life. Each summit for one year, find a Priest priest and tell them what you are proud of in <u>yourself</u>.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (60-0)

===Judgement 168===
* '''Assembly:''' Nine
* '''Raised By:''' Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
* '''Judgement - Penance:''' Ser Guy of the Twisted Rose. You are no idolator, but you have been reckless with the souls of those soldiers over whom you held responsibility. Your actions are not without virtue - but I worry about the echo of Irra Harrah's philosophies in the actions you took. In penance, I ask that you cease playing Irra Harrah's game - stand proud as I know you can. Run no longer, hide not, fight as it is your choice. You are no mouse, Guy. Stop acting like one.
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (0-0)

===Judgement 172===
* '''Assembly:''' Prosperity
* '''Raised By:''' Iniska Ashwood
* '''Judgement - Vindication:''' I called Mendicant Garev to inquisition to investigate his Prosperity in light of his recent misadventures. I cannot fault his Prosperity. I wish to invite him back to Anvil to thank him for bearing a troll-cursed cup to us. It is being returned to Tharim to save Mitwold from a curse, and I intend to reward and recompense him for this.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (76-0)
* '''Notes:''' Mendicant Garev has asked the civil service to let it be known that whilst he is pleased that he was able to help, he wishes any reward to be donated to the Virtue fund. He is rich in faith and friends, and that is all he feels he needs

==Recognition==
===Judgement 93===
* '''Assembly:''' Ambition
* '''Raised By:''' Amos
* '''Judgement:''' I call for Barabbas to be recognised as an exemplar of Ambition, embodying the tenet that "it is better by far to try and fail, than never to have tried at all". His legacy lives on in Freeborn corsairs, in Caricomare and in Segura. His benevolence lives on in the ports and cities he built, the trade routes he founded, and the maps drawn from his explorers. His miraculous final address, and the aura of ambition it bears two centuries on, is an inspiration to mariners, explorers and adventurers to the cenotaph, and to all those who seek to do what "cannot be done". Barabbas is an exemplar for all those who dare to dream.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (362-56)

==Exaltation==
===Judgement 35===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride
* '''Raised By:''' Halwyn Splitroot
* '''Judgement:''' Great artists whose art inspires virtue should be exalted. Idwyn Splitroot has inspired Pride across the Empire with her song "Painted". Heard by every Navarr, sung with every binding of thorns, now inspiring the troubadours of Dawn. We exalt Idwyn, recognising her artistic works and dedication to inspiring pride in others.
* '''Outcome:''' {{GM}} (192-22)
* '''Notes:''' Idwyn Splitroot has been added to the [[Exaltation|Roll of the Exalted]]

===Judgement 70===
* '''Assembly:''' Prosperity
* '''Raised By:''' Sybilla Cattaneo di Tassato
* '''Judgement:''' Azeal of Rumah's Redoubt recognised the great opportunities presented to the Empire by expanding the pool of appraisers but knew that the Senate budget has little slack for anything outside the war effort. He generously offered to fund the appraisers for their first year bringing the potential for opportunities old and to become available to the Empire that would not have been possible before. We recognise Azeal for his hard work in raising the funds to ensure the opportunity was not wasted and in his generosity in spending his hard earned money in a way that will benefit so many over the coming year.
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (132-74)

===Judgement 17===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Donato of the Crucible
* '''Judgement:''' The Empire is beset on all sides by enemies - our military is stretched. An opportunity presents to create a <u>ritual text</u> which would allow our armies to <u>resupply</u> under <u>any</u> circumstance. This text will save Imperial lives and give the Empire a new tool to fight our enemies. The Throne has thanked Herminius of the House of the Wanderer in her recent address for this support in building the third League army.

These efforts would have succeeded but for the acts of three Traitors within the Empire. Nevertheless, Virtue should be Rewarded lest citizens be discouraged from future sacrifice when called upon. We Reward those citizens with 22 Thrones from the Virtue Fund to be share amongst them according to their sacrifice.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld, full amount (843-336)

===Judgement 30===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Athiel Westernborn of the Cenotaph
* '''Judgement:''' In Autumn 386YE (Judgement 4) the full force of the Synod showed their wish to bring spiritual enlightenment to the waylaid and the downtrodden of Asavea. We did so with the full understanding of the magnitude of this project, and with awareness of its costs. Priests, why have you let the fires of your Ambition dwindle to embers? Even the most impenetrable forest may fall one tree at a time. As such, we request 8 wains of white granite to be disbursed from the Virtue Fund to continue anchoring the Way in Asavea. Consequences are the price of Ambition. We are willing to pay the costs.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld, full amount (652-334)

===Judgement 36===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Lord Julien de Courtenay-Wyldrose
* '''Judgement:''' The High Exorcist and their house have spent in excess of <u>20 thrones</u> to defend the Empire against spiritual threat. We seek to reward their personal prosperity and let them continue their work. Let 20 thrones be allocated to their seneschal, Mathilde Caster, for the purchase of: Silent Bell and Labyrinthine Vestments to be lent to any citizen in need; and liao bought in bulk
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld, full amount (600-276)

===Judgement 37===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Hildelith Kaukosdottir
* '''Judgement:''' Countless times we have pronounced ourselves in favour of the free preaching of the Way in Asavea. It is time to make good on our promises. We reward the refugees of Ibaria with 50 thrones. They have shown boundless Courage and Ambition in the fight against the Asavean Plenum, and have built a new life in Virtue here in the Empire. They have given everything for Virtue. We should seek to repay them in kind.
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (398-502)

===Judgement 42===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Miroslav Dainovitch Temnavoda
* '''Judgement:''' Last summit, Varushka had the opportunity to purge the insidious threat of face-peeling monsters. Rather than draw the Boyar's Hasta from its vital role elsewhere, heroes across Varushka committed military units to this task, many sacrificing their own resources to take up arms for the first time. Mana from across the nation was poured into enchantments to boost the strength of these units. This resulted in an assembled force equivalent to an army. Thanks to these efforts, the Boyar's Hasta remained committed to the vital role it played in Sarangrave, and the operation to root out the face peelers was an overwhelming success. I ask for Thirty Thrones from the Virtue Fund to be disbursed among those Ambitious citizens who stand as an example to all of what can be achieved with sufficient drive and focus.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld, 28 thrones, 1 crown, and 11 rings rewarded (450-426)

===Judgement 63===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Vera
* '''Judgement:''' Five years ago the first sermon on the Way in Ossium ended with the declaration 'together we rise in greatness'. I seek 20 thrones to reward the ossians who have reached the greatest heights since liberation: Volya, cardinal of the Way; Velko, senator for Ossium; Sigismund, general of the Golden Axe; Sławomir, leading diplomatic efforts in the Mallum
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (282-514)

===Judgement 67===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Oleander Dreamsreach
* '''Judgement:''' We seek to reward Geraint Bronwyn's Rest with 8 wains of white granite to be put towards the City of Dreams. This is an investment into the future of the Navarr and will allow us to seek new ways to use liao.
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (333-414)

===Judgement 104===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Galene Netherwatch
* '''Judgement:''' For the last 4 years, the Mountains' Answer, a block of military units 4000+ strong, have made themselves strategically available to the Military Council to be deployed wherever is deemed necessary to the Empire. Let us reward this Loyalty with 20 thrones, to be given to Floria Sunshaper, to be shared amongst these captains
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld, but none remain (260-252)

===Judgement 111===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Marialena Von Holberg
* '''Judgement:''' As Senator of Holberg, Kaspar von Yakovitch has inspired great Virtue in our citizens from Pride as we were awarded the Greatest City, to Ambition in building the Great Walls. His Virtue extends to the wider Empire, sharing the Prosperity of the League by creating an Imperial position from a National Bourse seat. As a young citizen inspired by this Virtue. I ask, on behalf of Holberg, that he is rewarded with four wains of weirwood.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld, full amount (300-208)

==Special Considerations==
The following considerations should be borne in mind when bringing judgements before the Imperial Synod during the Summer Solstice.
