	A [[consecration]] performed with [[Liao#True Liao\|true liao]] creates a [[Aura#Durable_Auras\|durable aura]], an [[inspirational location]] that can have profound effects, both spiritual and political.

A [[consecration]] performed with [[Liao#True Liao|true liao]] creates a [[Aura#Durable_Auras|durable aura]], a powerful area of spiritual influence that can have profound effects, both spiritual and political. For this reason, Imperial law limits when true liao can be lawfully used to perform a consecration to a [[Paragons and exemplars|paragon, exemplar]] or "other inspirational figure". The correct use of a [[Judgement]] issuing a writ of consecration can specify who the consecration should commemorate and where it should take place. Any consecration to an inspirational figure which does not conform with the terms of a writ issued by the [[Imperial Synod]] constitutes a grave breach of Imperial law.

The writ was created by the Imperial Senate during the [[385YE_Autumn_Equinox_Senate_sessions#Create_Writ_of_Consecration|Autumn Equinox 385YE]]. Their decision was informed by concerns about the potential to abuse [[true liao]] - specifically the risk of the resting place of controversial [[Sulemaine]] being transformed into an inspirational tomb [[The_deepest_cut#Interred_With_Their_Bones|consecrated to Hate]]. The writ ensures that a consecration with true liao cannot be performed without explicit endorsement from the Imperial Synod.
__NOTOC__
==Judgement==
* '''A writ of consecration must be raised by a virtue assembly'''
* '''If it is upheld with a greater majority then it will create an opportunity for one or more mandates'''
* '''Only a single writ of consecration from each virtue assembly each season will create an opportunity'''
*'''The opportunity will present one or more competing mandates, one of which can be passed in the general assembly to authorise the use of true liao'''

A writ of consecration must be raised and upheld by the relevant [[Assembly#The_Virtue_Assemblies|virtue assembly]] with a [[Judgement#Greater_Majority|greater majority]]. If a citizen intends to use true liao to consecrate a location to [[Wisdom]], then they must raise the judgement in the Assembly of Wisdom. To be legally binding, the judgement must clearly identify both the [[Inspirational location]] they plan to consecrate and the virtue of the consecration. A maximum of one writ of consecration can be enacted by each virtue assembly each summit.

If a valid writ of consecration is upheld by the greater majority of a virtue assembly then it will create an [[opportunity]]. Over the following season, the civil service will collate and presented information on what effects might come from consecrating the named location using a [[mandate]] in time for the Synod to make a final deliberation on the matter at the following summit. Where more than one option for a viable site is identified by the civll service, then these options will be presented in the wind of fortune. If more than one achieves a greater majority in a given virtue assembly, only the one with the greatest margin will lead to an opportunity.

The opportunity will present one or more mandates that any priest can raise at the coming summit to consecrate the location with true liao. All mandates resulting from a writ of consecration are considered to be [[Mandate#Competing_Mandates|competing]] with each other. It is not possible to propose an [[Mandate#Alternative_Mandates|alternative version]] of a mandate that results from a writ of consecration. Any mandate that consecrates a location in either [[Urizen]] or [[Varushka]] requires a greater majority in order to have an effect as per the '''[[Hard and suspecting]]''' wind of fortune.

==Outcome==
* '''If the mandate is successful, then the named priest can use a dose of true liao to create an inspirational location'''
If the mandate is successful then the consecration has the explicit authorisation of the Imperial Synod and will be enacted [[Mandate#Implementing_a_Mandate|as normal]] (provided the named priest provides the dose of true liao required). The writ does not create any legal obligations - but it does grant the named priest the legal entitlement to use true liao to consecrate the specified location to the named figure with the appropriate virtue. Any deviation from these terms would provide grounds for an investigation by the magistrates.
