Mandate

Judgement 4

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Athiel Westernborn of the Cenotaph
• Judgement: The Doctrine of Enlightenment provides a deeper understanding of the Way of Virtue and its role in giving us the strength, knowledge, and enlightenment to achieve our highest potential. We send Athiel Westernborn of the Cenotaph with 75 liao to urge missionaries and wayfarers to bring this news to the hidden sects of Asavea, no matter the risks.
• Outcome: Upheld (404-0)
• Enacted. Encourages missionaries and wayfarers in Highguard to travel to Asavea to make contact with the hidden sects of pilgrims. This is monumentally risky; the Empire is at war with Asavea and there are rumours that adherents of the Way are being executed. Whatever else happens, they will ensure the people of Asavea who need it most will hear of the change of doctrine, and the promise it holds out for those who embrace Virtue. As detailed in the Part of this together wind of fortune.
• Notes: See also Judgement 13 and Judgement 224.

Judgement 5

• Assembly: Urizen
• Raised By: Herminius of the House of the Wanderer
• Judgement: Let every word you speak carry meaning. Sulemaine defended her home even as she sought Wisdom. We send Clytemnestra of the House of the Wanderer with 25 liao to urge those who repudiate Sulemaine's violence to carry her wisdom to every nation in the Empire.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (192-16); a margin of 176
• Enacted. Urges the sword scholars who embrace the Empire to leave Urizen and spread out through the Empire, looking to join other nations, carrying Sulemaine's words with them. They will encourage others to think for themselves, to reject authority that is not grounded in Wisdom, and to fight to defend their home against anything that would threaten it. Scattering the sword scholars to the four corners of the Empire will mean no new sword scholars in Urizen. Those who attend Anvil now will be the last of that tradition. As detailed in the Broken sword wind of fortune.
• Notes: As Clytemnestra of the House of the Wanderer is a recognised sword scholar there was no liao cost to enact this mandate

Judgement 13

• Assembly: The Way
• Raised By: Derwyn Tendfallen
• Judgement: The Doctrine of Enlightenment provides a deeper understanding of the Way of Virtue and its role in giving us the strength, knowledge, and enlightenment to achieve our highest potential. We send Sufyan i Zuhri i Erigo with 75 liao to urge missionaries and wayfarers to bring this news to the hidden sects of Asavea, no matter the risks.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (233-10); a margin of 223
• Enacted. Encourages missionaries and wayfarers to travel to Asavea to make contact with the hidden sects of pilgrims. This is monumentally risky; the Empire is at war with Asavea and there are rumours that adherents of the Way are being executed. Whatever else happens, they will ensure the people of Asavea who need it most will hear of the change of doctrine, and the promise it holds out for those who embrace Virtue. As detailed in the Part of this together wind of fortune.
• Notes: See also Judgement 4 and Judgement 224.

Judgement 27

• Assembly: Urizen
• Raised By: Lepidina
• Judgement: We welcome dialogue with the Apulians to further our collective understanding of the Way, and lift each other up in virtue. We send Lepidina with 25 doses of liao to encourage those Urizen magicians who have decided to stay to share the best of Urizeni culture with the League. Let us share our values with them and make Apulian a city founded on philosophy, learning and a vision for a better future.
• Outcome: Withdrawn, not upheld (70-36)
• WithdrawnWould have encouraged the musicians and night magicians of the Deathless Cave to look for opportunities to share the best of Urizeni culture with the Apulians. As detailed in the Blue flowers in the snow wind of fortune.

Judgement 29

• Assembly: Pride
• Raised By: Constanza i Kalamar i Guerra
• Judgement: Empress Richilde taught us that it is important to take joy in the achievements of the Empire and its citizens. We send Constanza i Kalamar i Guerra with 25 doses of liao to encourage citizens to take pride in the accomplishments of the Empire and to bask in our culture.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (622-18); margin of 604
• Enacted. The Blood Red Quays Art Gallery, the Blood Red River Museum, and the Bloody Great Theatre will all see an increase in audiences and visitors. Each congregation in Sarvos, Tassato, and Temeschwar will see an increased production of 36 rings over the following season as the cities host pilgrims looking to engage in art and culture. The Azure Chorus at Braydon's Jasse, the Crimson Drummers of Madruga, and the Rose Towers in Dawn will see more people attending their feasts and performances over the season and the titles willeach gain an additional 108 rings at the Spring Equinox 386YE as the number of visitors increases. As detailed in the Watercolours in the rain wind of fortune.

Judgement 30

• Assembly: League
• Raised By: Rafael Barossa d'Apulian
• Judgement: Pride conveyed by words alone is vain boasting; we must proclaim it by how we conduct every part of our lives. Other nations are contributing white granite and coin to the efforts to build the Grand Inspiration of the Way and we are being left behind! "Now Fransesca di Matos's competition is over, we must rise to this challenge from the rest of the Empire and win. We send Rafael Barossa d'Apulian with 50 doses of liao to inspire League citizens to show the rest of the Empire how to build amazing things...and how to fund them, too.
• Outcome: Upheld (259-126); margin of 133
• Enacted. Urges the League to contribute to the Grand Inspiration of the Way, but prevents mandates that encourage citizens to contribute to other building projects for a year. As detailed in the Blood will thicken wind of fortune.

Judgement 35

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Tabris, Son of Armisael
• Judgement: Doctrine is a living document that must change and grow as our understanding does. The Doctrine of Human Destiny has been weighed and found wanting. The Doctrine of Enlightenment provides a deeper understanding of the Way of Virtue. We send Tabris, son of Aemisael with 25 liao to urge adherents of the Way in Sarcophan to follow the lead of Bastion in embracing this change.
• Outcome: Upheld (1857-135)
• Enacted. Increases engagement with and acceptance of the new Doctrine of Enlightenment among both established pilgrims and converts in the Sarophan Delves. It is likely to annoy the Sumaah, who will take the view that they are being more even-handed with the faithful in Sarcophan by urging people not to accept the change of doctrine. It won't trigger the Sarcophan limitation on the two cathedrals that they remain civil and avoid "brawling in the streets" but it would raise tensions. As detailed in the Part of this together wind of fortune.

Judgement 53

• Assembly: Imperial Orcs
• Raised By: Bloodcrow Pip
• Judgement: The matter of orc souls should be left to orcs. We send Bloodcrow Knott with 25 doses of liao to let Imperial Orcs know that the Mourn Orcs are Marchers. We demand the humans of the Empire give our new siblings time while we offer them guidance in the ways of the Abyss and Ancestors.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (182-0); margin of 182
• Enacted. The Imperial Orcs Assembly makes it clear that on matters of orc souls, their human peers should defer to them. It acknowledges that the Marcher Orcs have different beliefs to the Imperial Orcs, but commits to trying to find a middle ground. In the short term, Imperial Orcs preachers will visit the Mournwold orcs to debate and discuss their shared understanding of virtue, and their differing stance on what happens after one dies. In the long term, if anyone tries to denounce the Marcher orcs as heretics, the Imperial Orcs would step in. As detailed in the The best soil wind of fortune.

Judgement 59

• Assembly: Wintermark
• Raised By: Veikko Bondforger
• Judgement: This winter will be harsh, and the whole of Wintermark faces terrible threats from the monsters of Blood-on-the-Snow, the beasts of Hayaak, and the scions of Cold Sun. We must remain vigilant, and we must fight these threats wherever we can. We are scions sired by a storm and shall weather whatever winter brings. We send Ironvigil Rikke the Relentless with 75 doses of liao to urge the people of Wintermark to look after each other, and to protect our people, no matter what the Winter brings.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (320-0); margin of 320
• Enacted. Until the start of the Spring Equinox 386YE every military unit belonging to a Wintermark character will experience a -1 rank penalty, unless they participate in the Hunt the Suaq Wastes adventure; defend the Beacons of Wintermark; or support a Wintermark army fighting in Wintermark. In these cases, such military units receive a +1 rank bonus to their effective strength. As detailed in the Hear your footsteps wind of fortune.
• Note: See also Judgement 87

Judgement 64

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Irada von Temeschwar
• Judgement: Berechiah was an inspiration to all who prepare for malice, and seek to thwart it. We send Irada von Temeschwar with a dose of true liao to consecrate the damaged basilica in Bastion in the name of Vigilance.
• Outcome: Upheld (1129-446); margin of 683
• Enacted. Creates a true consecration of Vigilance at the damaged basilica of Berechiah in Bastion. As detailed in the Knocking on every door wind of fortune.

Judgement 71

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Broc Splitroot
• Judgement: Despise those who take without giving. The Imperial Senate taxes our Prosperity, but it may not tax our Virtue. We send Broc Splitroot with 25 doses of liao to persuade the faithful to withdraw their labour until the Senate ensures that all fines become the property of the virtue fund.
• Outcome: Withdrawn at the request of the raising priest
• Withdrawn As detailed in the Forwards and rewards wind of fortune.

Judgement 87

• Assembly: Wintermark
• Raised By: Vauraus "Prosperity's Force" Korppitkotka
• Judgement: This winter will be harsh, and there are monsters in Sermesuaq, both beasts of the wilds and those who walk in human guise. We must remain vigilant, but more importantly we must remain kind. Share with your neighbours, keep each other warm, remind each other that this is not forever. We are scions sired by a storm and shall weather whatever winter brings. We send Isolde Hannasdottir with 25 doses of liao to urge the people of Wintermark to look after each other, no matter what the Winter brings.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (256-0)
• Enacted Urges the people of Wintermark, and Sermersuaq in particular, to keep each other safe during the harsh winter that is to come. No settlement in Sermersuaq will go hungry this winter. Until the start of the Spring Equinox 386YE every military unit controlled by a character from Sermersuaq will take a -1 rank penalty unless they take the hunt the Suaq Wastes adventure, in which case they will instead receive a +1 rank bonus. This added protection, and the spirit of cooperation and support, will sustain the people of Sermersuaq in their time of need, granting a +1 rank bonus to the production of farms. Furthermore, for the next year (the whole of 386YE) it will be nearly impossible for the followers of Blood-on-the-Snow to gain support from the people of Sermersuaq. As detailed in the Hear your footsteps wind of fortune.
• Note: See also Judgement 59.

Judgement 101

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Silas of the Cenotaph
• Judgement: The stewards of the dead are dedicated to all the heroes of the Empire, not only those who rest in Necropolis. We are guardians and guides, and we walk the path of death without fear. Our kinfolk among the Imperial Orcs undertake a grim pilgrimage, one that might still end in joy. The Ossuary Temple in Skarsind is to the Imperial Orcs what the Necropolis is to the Highborn. We send Silas of the Cenotaph with 50 doses of liao to urge our peers to support the Imperial Orcs in their Bone Pilgrimage.
• Outcome: Upheld (454-22); Margin of 432
• Notes: See also Judgement 160.

Judgement 117

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Tirza of Felix Watch
• Judgement: Despise that which threatens what you watch over. We send Tirza of Felix Watch with 50 doses of liao to encourage the Highborn armies to bring an end to the scions of Cold Sun.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (571-14); Margin of 557
• Enacted. Allows all Highborn armies to use the Bring Virtue to the Scions order. As detailed in the Church of your heart wind of fortune.

Judgement 118

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Naomi of Felix Watch
• Judgement: The truly virtuous are loyal even through hardship and misfortune. We send Naomi of Felix Watch with 50 doses of liao to encourage the Highborn armies to defend the Empire at any cost.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (531-44); Margin of 487
• Enacted. Allows all Highborn armies to use the Defence of the Virtuous order. As detailed in the Church of your heart wind of fortune.

Judgement 125

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Ourania Neofoti of the House of the Wanderer
• Judgement: Cheap boons and easy solutions should always be treated with caution. The Wise know that we must test what you learn, and take nothing for granted. We send Ourania Neofoti of the House of the Wanderer with 100 doses of liao to urge the virtuous to remain cautious of gifts that come at too cheap a price, to remain Vigilant against the machinations of eternals and dark powers, and to watch those who seek out such offers.
• Outcome: Upheld (1274-230); Margin of 1044
• Enacted. For the next year there will be significantly fewer opportunities offered that relate to eternals, sovereigns and similar entities. Statements of principle rejecting or investigating such offers will be much more likely to lead to a response of some kind. There will be much more expectation that members of the Conclave will be brought to Inquisition to ensure they are acting virtuously, and it will lead to increased support for the Witness of Conclave, the Imperial Censor, Virtue Inquisitors, Imperial Inquisitor, and perhaps even the Sevenfold Path among the virtuous. As it did not achieve a greater majority, there will be no real impact in either people of Urizen or the citizens of Varushka - the folk most likely to participate in such bargains in many peoples' opinion, so the Assembly might wish to weigh cautiously how this mandate is dealt with. As detailed in the Hear your footsteps wind of fortune.

Judgement 127

• Assembly: Prosperity
• Raised By: Luca i Taziel i Riqueza
• Judgement: Despise those who take without giving. The Imperial Senate taxes our Prosperity, but it may not tax our Virtue. We send Luca i Taziel i Riqueza with 25 doses of liao to persuade the faithful to withdraw their labour until the Senate ensures that all fines become the property of the Virtue fund.
• Outcome: Upheld (152-96); Margin of 56
• Enacted. Each virtue assembly that passes this judgement will be able to influence members of the faithful across the Empire, encouraging them to refuse to support the Imperial Senate. If that happens, then the Imperial Senate will have one less commission slot for each Virtue Assembly (including the Assembly of the Way) that enacts this mandate. As detailed in the Forwards and rewards wind of fortune.

Judgement 133

• Assembly: Marches
• Raised By: Sister Meredith
• Judgement: We meant what we said, the pursuit of virtue supersedes doctrine and the law. The life of the Mournwold Orcs is one of Virtue and this assembly welcome them to the Marches. We send Rosie of Goatsbridge with 50 doses of liao to make sure the Marches know what's what. We will defend our cousins against any who might attack them.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (216-0); Margin of 216
• Enacted. By passing this Mandate the Marcher Assembly makes it clear that they embrace the Marcher Orcs even though they are at odds with doctrine and that it doesn't matter as long as they are sincere in their embrace of virtue. It would do nothing in the short term, but in the future if anyone tried to denounce the Marcher Orcs as heretics, the people of the Marches would fight hard to protect them.. As detailed in the The best soil wind of fortune.

Judgement 140

• Assembly: Marches
• Raised By: Father Edmund
• Judgement: Know your heart and what commands its devotion above all else. We send Larkin Otterways with 25 doses of liao to let everyone in Bregasland know that this is the land of the Strong Reeds, and they will never abandon it.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority(176-0); Margin of 176
• Enacted. Cements the affection that many Bregas feel for the Strong Reeds. The army will gain a bonus equivalent to a thousand additional strength whenever they are fighting in Bregasland reflecting the armed support they will receive from their fellow yeofolk. If Bregasland comes under attack, and the Strong Reeds are not present at the start of the very next season to lead the counter-attack or defence as a minimum, then the oath will have been broken. If the oath were broken, it would breach the trust between the Reeds and the kin in Bregasland. The above benefit would be permanently lost, and it would never be possible for the army to Lie Low in Bregasland again. As detailed in the Welly boots wind of fortune.

Judgement 160

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Memory Keeper Ikahn
• Judgement: Thousands of orcs lived and died in thrall to the Imperial nations. Only the Brass Coast decried the practice of enslaving orcs. It is time for the bones of these forgotten ancestors to rest beside the remains of their new welcomed siblings. We send Memory Keeper Ikahn with 75 doses of liao to urge every priest to offer aid to the Imperial Orcs as they seek out the resting places of their dead, unearth them with all due reverence, and bring them home to Skarsind.
• Outcome: Upheld (1819-22); Margin of 1797
• Enacted. Creates an adventure for Imperial Orcs with a military unit: The Bone Pilgrimage. Does not provide opportunities to explore Varushka and Urizen due to not receiving a greater majority, something that is of especial concern to the Sunstorm, many of whose ancestors still rest in Varushka. As detailed in the Standing in the sun wind of fortune.
• Notes: See also Judgement 101 and Judgement 168.

Judgement 168

• Assembly: Varushka
• Raised By: Yevanshka
• Judgement: The Imperial Orcs intend to undertake a bone pilgrimage, to restore the bones of their ancestors to their ossuary in Skarsind. We should support them in this endeavour, offering whatever aid or access they need. If the act of disturbing the dead rouses dark powers, we accept that consequence. We send Yevanshka with 50 doses of liao to urge the people of Varushka to support the Imperial Orcs in their Bone Pilgrimage.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (312-0); Margin of 312
• Enacted. The Varushkan people will support the Imperial Orcs in seeking out the resting places of their ancestors in Varushka. It will not allow them to take part directly in the Bone Pilgrimage; any military units that want to support them will do so through the Adventure in Varushka, dealing with any dark forces raised by disturbing the cursed soil of Varushka. As detailed in the Standing in the sun wind of fortune.
• Notes: See also Judgement 160.

Judgement 175

• Assembly: Varushka
• Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
• Judgement: Cousins. We stand face to face with extinction incarnate - for Cold Sun threatens our homes, laps at our walls and dims our hearths. No more! Fight as the boar does - with great force and even deadlier aim. We send Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost with 50 doses of liao to bolster the fighting spirit of the Nation. They have entered our Homes, crossed upon our thresholds. - now show them what it means to grant an enemy Sack and Sword!
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (312-0); Margin of 312
• Enacted. Allows all Varushkan armies to use the Bring Virtue to the Scions order. They are only be able to use it in Varushkan territories and only until the armies of Cold Sun in Varushka are defeated. The Varushkan National Assembly will not be able to enact any further mandates until the armies of Cold Sun in Varushka are defeated. As detailed in the Church of your heart wind of fortune.

Judgement 179

• Assembly: Freeborn
• Raised By: Asier i Elia i Guerra
• Judgement: The Virtuous build up their fellows. We are strongest when we recognise that we are all of one Empire. We send Aharz i Guerra with 50 doses of liao to encourage the Freeborn to break the chain around the necks of the Bay and protect our allies from the ravages of the Grendel pirates.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (152-0); Margin of 152
• Enacted. Corsair captains will help merchant ships of every nation that operate on the Bay of Catazar without getting into battles with the Grendel. Removes the current penalty to all fleets on the Bay of Catazar due to the Grendel. Also unlocks a new independent action Escort Imperial Shipping that is for Freeborn fleets only. As detailed in the Listen to your heart wind of fortune.
• Notes: In competition with Judgement 183; this mandate received the greater margin.

Judgement 183

• Assembly: Freeborn
• Raised By: Azir i Smartha i Riqueza
• Judgement: Nothing is beyond our grasp. The Grendel grasp recklessly at the throat of the Bay of Catazar. We send Ahraz i Guerrawith 50 doses of liao to encourage our corsairs to show the Salt Lords that they will never defeat us.
• Outcome: Upheld (86-62); Margin of 24
• Not Enacted. If this mandate had been enacted, then corsairs would have sought out their rivals all across the Bay of Catazar, slaughtering their crews, capturing their ships and plundering their cargo. As detailed in the Listen to your heart wind of fortune.
• Notes: This mandate was in competition with Judgement 179, which received a greater margin. As such this mandate cannot be enacted.

Judgement 207

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Sabella of the Silent Tide
• Judgement: I use the power of Eyes of Loyalty to send Eevi with 25 liao to support "This winter will be harsh, and there are monsters in Sermesuaq, both beasts of the wilds and those who walk in human guise. We must remain vigilant, but more importantly we must remain kind. Share with your neighbours, keep each other warm, remind each other that this is not forever. We are scions sired by a storm and shall weather whatever winter brings. We send Isolde Hannasdottir with 25 doses of liao to urge the people of Wintermark to look after each other, no matter what the Winter brings."
• Outcome: Upheld (253-0)
• Enacted. Supports Mandate 87 with the Eyes of Loyalty.
• OOC Note: Liao taken from Isolde Hannasdottir, who was not the named priest for this mandate.

Judgement 216

• Assembly: Dawn
• Raised By: Darian Numbers Cardinal of Prosperity
• Judgement: Consequences are the price of Ambition. We send Pontus Figures with 50 doses of liao to urge every citizen to contribute what resources they can spare to support the creation of a new Holy City at Bastion. Let our Virtue echo through history for a thousand years.
• Outcome: Upheld (216-0)
• Enacted. Commits Dawn to help build the Grand Inspiration of the Way. As detailed in the Blood will thicken wind of fortune.

Judgement 224

• Assembly: Nine
• Raised By: Melchior of Adina's Charge
• Judgement: The Doctrine of Enlightenment provides a deeper understanding of the Way of Virtue and its role in giving us the strength, knowledge, and enlightenment to achieve our highest potential. We send Cardinal Aspar with 75 liao to urge missionaries and wayfarers to bring this news to the hidden sects of Asavea, no matter the risks.
• Outcome: Upheld (7-1)
• Enacted. Encourages missionaries and wayfarers to travel to Asavea to make contact with the hidden sects of pilgrims. This is monumentally risky; the Empire is at war with Asavea and there are rumours that adherents of the Way are being executed. Whatever else happens, they will ensure the people of Asavea who need it most will hear of the change of doctrine, and the promise it holds out for those who embrace Virtue. As detailed in the Part of this together wind of fortune.
• Notes: See also Judgement 4 and Judgement 13.

Recognition

Judgement 3

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Astrid Fjellrevening Rezia di Tassato
• Judgement: Ozren de Orzel used art to change the world, and this assembly recognises him as an Exemplar of Pride. Inspiration: Ozren directly inspired the creation of the High Bard, and now every year a new High Bard takes to the Senate floor, a long line of artists, performers, and storytellers following in his footsteps using art to inspire and speak truth to those at the heart of the Empire. Pilgrimage: Ozren went to the Pits of Ennerlund in Holberg to put the unquiet ghosts there to rest after the depredations of the Druj. He did not just take liao to exorcise them, but spoke to them and heard their stories. He brought these back out into the light and retold them to their loved ones, so they would not be forgotten. Benevolence: Ozren was instrumental in the creation of the High Bard, and reclaimed the Pits of Ennerlund by carrying the stories of the unquiet dead back out to the light, both of great lasting benefit to the whole Empire. Legacy: As well as his own beautiful body of work, and co-authoring the first High Bard performance on the Senate floor with his future wife Lady Kaywenn du Launcet. Ozren leaves the position of High Bard as a testament to his dedication to seeing Art and inspiration take its place at the heart of Imperial decision making. More than this, each High Bard is expected to leave a composition as a legacy, ensuring an ever growing body of work dedicated to his vision.
• Outcome: Upheld (1557-405). Ozren de Orzel will be added to the list of known exemplars
