	Were it not for Severin's caution against engaging in attempts "''to incite people to confront religious differences or spiritual conflicts''" it is likely that Veikko's condemnation of the architect would have prompted a significant reaction especially from the people of [[the League]], [[Wintermark]], and [[Urizen]] where many of his dubious constructions still stand. Instead, while there have been grumblings and questions about what is to be done, nobody has presented any particular plans to deal with the problems.

			Two priests raised mandates relating to the exchange of congregations for military units - Rafe in the General Assembly and Severi Jarlmarison in the Wintermark national assembly. Either or both priests may enact those mandates - although their effects are not cumulative.

			Tiana i Zaydan i Riqueza raised the mandate to encourage the Freeborn to free those slaves given over to the [[Iron Confederacy]], but it was not passed by the assembly. While it achieved majority support, [[the Throne]] employed her [[The_Throne#Custodian_of_Virtue\|Custodian of Virtue]] power to require that it reach a greater majority to pass and so, ultimately, it as not upheld.
