	* '''Motion:''' Motion to create the title of Witness of Conclave, to be appointed by Conclave, to identify sorcerers, and those who should no longer be ~~sorcerors~~, in the Empire. The witness shall have the power to raise a single Declaration of Sorcery in the Conclave per summit. The witness shall also investigate and or inquisit those with an Imperial Conclave title, to ensure they are not becoming corrupt with power. Witness of Conclave shall have regalia as detailed in civil service reports.

	* '''Passed'''		* '''Passed'''
	* '''Outcome:''' During [[Scrutiny]], the Constitutional Court expressed some caution around the use of the word "inquisit" in the motion. 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 [[Inquisition\|power]] in the Imperial Synod. If the title were explicitly giving the Witness the power to use a judgement of Inquisition, it would require significant additional scrutiny. It's also notable that the criteria for only ''one'' of the three regalia offered by Imperial citizens is met by this motion - that of ''Lost Lore Steading''. If the Senate wishes to take advantage of the offers of the Marcher threshers and Highborn magistrates they have until the end of the Spring Equinox to amend the title's responsibilities appropriately. More information on the opportunity can be found in the '''[[Bad_blood#The_Rat-Catcher\|Bad blood]]''' wind of fortune. The title of [[Witness of Conclave]] has been created and will be available to appoint at the Spring Equinox 385YE.		* '''Outcome:''' During [[Scrutiny]], the Constitutional Court expressed some caution around the use of the word "inquisit" in the motion.
