__TOC__
===Judgement 12===
* '''Assembly:''' Prosperity Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Bartimaeus
* '''Judgement:''' The Sand Fishers have begun the slow recovery from the tortures inflicted on the Druj. The Prosperity assembly calls upon its priests, and all those who trade with these foreigners to set prosperous prices and trade fairly - to teach and demonstrate the first tenet of Prosperity. Strive, toil, and claim the just rewards of your labours.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (226 - 10)
 
===Judgement 14===
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Alderai
* '''Judgement:''' Honour is a Jotun concept. Negotiating so-called honour duels with barbarians is not only treason (except where Ambassadorial privilege applies) it is also Idolatry.
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (334 - 1066)


===Judgement TBC===
===Judgement 18===
* '''Assembly:''' TBC
* '''Assembly:''' Varushka National
* '''Raised By:''' TBC
* '''Raised By:''' Nisha Strascovich
* '''Judgement:''' TBC
* '''Judgement:''' The Varushkan assembly recognises the virtues of the citizens of Varushka. Your COURAGE, VIGILANCE, and WISDOM in fighting the dark magics, wolves, and monsters. Your AMBITION and LOYALTY that enables the Empire to prosper as you hold back the MONSTROUS TIDE from your unsuspecting neighbours. RISE UP! And raise a toast to Varushka and the Empire!
* '''Outcome:''' TBC (TBC - TBC)
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (160 - 0)


==Mandate==
===Judgement 19===
The following [[mandate|mandates]] were passed during the Spring Equinox. Where there are [[Mandate#Competing_Mandates|competing mandates]], the one that passes with the largest margin is successful and all other competing mandates are considered to have failed.
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
===Judgement 12===
* '''Raised By:''' Vindictus
* '''Judgement:''' The Grey Pilgrimage rose to challenge the greatest spiritual threat to the Empire. It would be an affront to Pride, Loyalty, Courage, and Wisdom if these pilgrims were restrained or dissuaded in their dedication to spreading doctrine and combating heresy. It is a tragic shame that any theological debate brought about by the pilgrimage has provoked such a combative response from our siblings from other national assemblies. It is in these drastic times that Loyalty to each other and the Empire must overcome these small differences. We urge the General Assembly not to spurn or reject the grey pilgrims. These are Highborn citizens following their very nature. We are better than this.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (960 -528)
 
===Judgement 21===
* '''Assembly:''' Dawn National
* '''Raised By:''' Darien Numbers
* '''Judgement:''' When Empress Richilde stood for Queen of Dawn, none would take the field against her. No-one wanted their name or their house to be ranked as opposition, nor to question that she was a fit candidate. However, there were fourteen among them who understood that to win uncontested is less glorious than to best even the most meagre of challenges. Those fourteen knights were the first Black Knights, and by adopting anonymity as they stood against Richilde they sacrificed their personal glory, and one's life, to ensure that the tourney was held and that all others that took part had chance to demonstrate their worth and earn their legends. We will never know their identity, or that of any who continue the tradition. But we can acknowledge and applaud their sacrifices, and we can encourage others to put aside their own glory or histories if necessary; to ensure that hereafter no contest of any kind in Dawn is won without sufficiently glorious challenge. Long may the tradition of Black Knights continue, long may they provide us resplendent contests, long may we praise these anonymous examples of the spirit of Dawn.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with Greater Majority (110 - 0)
 
===Judgement 26===
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Raised By:''' Sister Tabitha
* '''Judgement:''' Reikos has finally been fully retaken, all Highborn territory is now in our hands again. Now is the time for rebuilding what was lost - we remember that wood burns but stone endures. This assembly calls for a great period of building - both to rebuild Reikos and to build a permanent legacy across all of Highguard. Architects, engineers, builders, benefactors, and labourers should come together to show the world the Pride and Prosperity of the Highborn.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (501 - 0)
 
===Judgement 29===
* '''Assembly:''' Dawn National
* '''Raised By:''' Mordred
* '''Judgement:''' Issuing the following poem: "Whose name should Troubadours resound? Across the waters and the land? The king beneath the stony ground of gold and gemstones, Adamant... Above the shining Semmerlak, an edifice of granite stands, unbreakable by foe's attack, the glorious work of Adamant. O king! Forgive our tardiness, in giving you your proper due, and let express we with this verse our gratitude and thanks to you."
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (66 - 0)
 
===Judgement 33===
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Jericho
* '''Judgement:''' Jericho of the Suns of Couros - I seek approval from the Imperial Synod for my pilgrimage to visit the burial places of the Empire and to talk to those who have lost dear friends and family in service to the Empire's war effort. I do this as custodian of the Imperial War Memorial and the holder of the Book of the Dead. I will do this as an old soldier and priest to support all nations in honouring our war dead and in service of the Empire.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (1496 - 72)
 
===Judgement 39===
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Raised By:''' Able
* '''Judgement:''' The rejection of the Grey Pilgrims by the Marcher assembly is an act of cowardice and disloyalty. The tenets of Courage tell us to despise cowardice that leads to inaction - as the Marchers have shown no attempt to learn and grow - and the tenets of Loyalty call upon us to build up our fellows.To help and aid them, the Highborn assembly calls upon the grey pilgrims, and all wayfarers of the faith, to look to the example of Permion - cowardice and corruption must be challenged when it is found no matter the opposition. We must help our Marcher cousins to find the Way once more. If their assembly is not up to the task, we will do it for them.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (253 - 246)
 
===Judgement 41===
* '''Assembly:''' Loyalty Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Jared of the Suns of Couros
* '''Judgement:''' Pilgrims of Loyalty in the Empire hear the voice of your assembly! Know thy heart but always remember the examples of the Bolstering Bill and Cora Holdfast in helping those in need. The Empire has an influx of new citizens who are liberated former slaves. Help them find their place and their new start by offering what support you can give.  
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (360 - 0)
 
===Judgement 42===
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Raised By:''' Lina of Felix's Watch
* '''Raised By:''' Cimeies of Felix's Watch
* '''Judgement:''' All that is worthwhile is shared with those who deserve it. Let us open our doors to those Urizeni who have lost everything and give them a home until the day comes when they can return. We send Lina with 25 liao to bring those who have lost everything to Reikos where they can be given succor until the Druj menace is no more.
* '''Judgement:''' To recognise someone as an Exemplar is to submit them to the Synod as someone to be spoken highly of, whose Virtuous deeds should be extolled, and to use them as inspiration for others. This is '''exaltation'''. To recognise someone as an Exemplar is to submit them to the Synod as someone who should be regarded with great respect, to revere and admire them, and someone who should be held in high regard. This is '''veneration'''. To worship, exalt, or venerate an inhuman spirit is '''idolatry'''. The recognition of inhuman Exemplars and the idea that they should be taught to human congregations as equal to human exemplars is '''idolatry'''.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (521 - 20). '''''Enacted'''''. Urizeni refugees are offered sanctuary in Reikos.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (313 - 112)
* '''Notes:''' The opportunity is detailed [[The_warmth_of_an_invisible_light#Protect_the_Helpless|here]]
 
===Judgement 43===
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Hazelelponi of the Shattered Tower
* '''Judgement:''' Our Empire has Wisdom spread to it from all kinds of priests, whose role it is to travel our Empire and spread The Way. Guides, Wayfarers, Bishops, Questors, Troubadours, Stormcrows; all have their own unique ways of spreading the Way, and are vigilant in their teachings and questionings. The Grey Pilgrims are a new addition to our travelling priests and should still take inspiration from them. To act to impede any of them in their responsibility would be to subvert Human Destiny.
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld; withdrawn (834 - 424) Withdrawn at request of raising priest
 
===Judgement 44===
* '''Assembly:''' Loyalty Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Asher
* '''Judgement:''' While only the virtuous can choose the loyalty of their own heart, the Loyalty Assembly applauds those people and organisations that seek to inspire Loyalty in others.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (196 - 0)
 
===Judgement 46===
* '''Assembly:''' Nine
* '''Raised By:''' Empress Lisabetta von Holberg
* '''Judgement:''' Pilgrimage takes us on a journey to the heart of our Imperial faith. I ask citizens of the Empire to consider whether they should undertake pilgrimage - in the understanding that this may take many forms whether of the body, mind, or spirit, unique to each person's path of virtue. I ask this, that we may, as an Enlightened Empire, find new insights to help us overcome our many challenges. As the Throne, I commit myself to undertake a pilgrimage of Wisdom.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (6 - 0)
 
===Judgement 48===
* '''Assembly:''' Brass Coast National
* '''Raised By:''' Tiana i Zaydan i Riqueza
* '''Judgement:''' Supporting the freedom to choose your own virtuous path is what it means to be Freeborn. We will not tell you what to do with your fleets, but let your virtue guide you. Both trading and privateering can be prosperous as long as we remember the teachings of Zemress. After raiding, she gave a share to those who worked hard with her. She offered opportunity to all willing to work. She claimed a righteous bounty from the enemies of the Empire. She invested her personal wealth in projects, in her community. Whether you raid or trade be like Zemress.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (170 - 0)
 
===Judgement 49===
* '''Assembly:''' Urizen National
* '''Raised By:''' Galene Netherwatch

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (80 - 0)


===Judgement 14===
===Judgement 52===
* '''Assembly:''' Wintermark National
* '''Raised By:''' Jorma Steelhail
* '''Judgement:''' We choose Raknar Ravenstorm, Eyes of the North, liberator of slaves, they that led the recovery of the Bloodcloak, Thane of Stormspire, as the Warden of the Great Raid upon Ikka's Tears. Heroes will march, names made, chains broken. For our people! For Saga! For Skein we march! We Raid!
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (164 - 10)
 
===Judgement 57===
* '''Assembly:''' Ambition Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Ranae de Rondell
* '''Judgement:''' ''The Road to virtue rises high/Hard to travel, yet we must try/We stand together that we might/Reach up into the very sky.'' We believe that all benefit from the support, challenge, and celebration of the Synod. A core mechanic for this is the call to inquisition. Respect this process.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (80 - 0)
 
===Judgement 63===
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Medea Ruth Irremais
* '''Judgement:''' The Prosperous do not hoard knowledge, and the Courageous speak their minds. The Whisper Gallery would have us skulk in secrecy. We encourage citizens to share their knowledge, feelings, and beliefs. Wisdom calls on us to test our thoughts, by sharing them with others. Weaken the Whisper Gallery.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1139 - 161)

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (786 - 276)
 
===Judgement 67===
* '''Assembly:''' Navarr National
* '''Raised By:''' Brat Umbral Path
* '''Judgement:''' Due to the connection to the vallorn, Navarr briars should not be given the freedom to interfere with the war against our great enemy. As such, the nation should not vote for them to assume Imperial positions.
* '''Outcome:''' Not Upheld by a Greater Majority (14 - 146)

* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Rafael Barossa di Tassato

We send (named priest) with 50 liao to lead Imperial citizens to destroy these statues. Let us follow the example of Ivarsgard and create a lasting covenant to show the world the fate of all false religions.
* '''Judgement:''' The Synod encourages Imperial artisans to travel and teach free citizens of Otkodov their art, provided this secures the release of the Runesmiths the Thule hold as slaves.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (742 - 646; margin 96). '''''Enacted'''''. This mandate will inspire architects, masons, and builders to force their way into the buildings designed by the Asavean priest. The images of false gods will be carefully and meticulously removed and then repurposed in such a way as to provide a lasting symbol of opposition for the Asaveans and their faith.

* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Raised By:''' Yarona of the Chantry
* '''Raised By:''' Lev Unbound
* '''Judgement:''' The Way of Virtue is the faith of the Empire. The strength of our true faith is what makes the Empire powerful. We send Kerem of the Chantry with 25 liao to urge the grey pilgrims to bring all humanity to the true faith but to leave the orcs to find their own way across the abyss.
* '''Judgement:''' Inquisition is good for the soul. People of Highguard should approach their priests and other priests to undergo an inquisition. Priests of Highguard should seek out citizens and submit them to an inquisition to illuminate the virtue of their actions and work.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (489 - 54). '''''Enacted'''''. Urges the Grey Pilgrims to avoid trying to spread the Way to the barbarian or foreign orcs.

* '''Raised By:''' Ser Ancél Watcher
* '''Raised By:''' Raziel of the Shattered Tower
* '''Judgement:''' The taint of the Druj spills forth from the pillars they have constructed with their foul magic, choking the thirst for glory with fear and dread. We send Ser Ancél Watcher with 25 doses of liao to urge troubadours and questing knights to seek out the source of this vile corruption
* '''Judgement:''' We appoint Raziel of the Shattered Tower to act as a point of contact between the Highborn generals and their National Assembly.

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (436 - 10)
* '''Notes:''' The opportunity is detailed [[A_strange_land#Hidden_Peril|here]]


===Judgement 20===

* '''Assembly:''' Navarr National
* '''Raised By:''' Skywise Tulva
* '''Raised By:''' Raelyn Holdfast
* '''Judgement:''' The orcs freed from bondage in Dubhtraig are not yet safe. They have heard our invitation, and sought to reach us, but now they are scattered across the Empire alone and afraid. In the name of Prosperity, we send Skywise Tulva with 25 doses of liao to urge every Imperial Orc to put their hand in their pocket to ensure that those endeavouring to bring them home to us receive the just reward for their labours.
* '''Judgement:''' We the Navarr assembly recognise that the briars among us are human, capable of Virtue, and citizens of the Empire. To prevent them from standing for or holding Imperial Positions based on their lineage instead of their actions runs directly counter to the teachings of Pride, Ambition, and the Doctrine of Human Destiny.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (100 - 0). '''''Enacted'''''.  Provides rewards to those helping to [[Lost_in_translation|bring lost orcs]] to [[Skarsind]] at the cost of Imperial Orcs production.

===Judgement 22===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Iriva Vasilova Pakov
* '''Judgement:''' The works of Almodin Oktístis are an affront to the dignity of the Empire; they denigrate our truth faith and demean the Pride of Imperial citizens.

Let us follow the example of Ivarsgard and create a lasting covenant to show the world the fate of all false religions.
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (413 - 558).
* '''Notes:''' The opportunity is detailed [[Idle_hands_are_the_devil's_playthings#Embrace_Your_Past|here]].
===Judgement 23===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Raised By:''' Chainbreaker Snark
* '''Judgement:''' The works of Almodin Oktístis are an affront to the dignity of the Empire, they denigrate our true faith, and demean the Pride of any being that sees them, including the Asaveans themselves, who have lost the understanding of their spirit to decadence and idolatry. We send (named priest) with 75 liao to destroy these statues, and offer the Asavean priests - by their will or by blade - a second chance at Salvation.
* '''Outcome:''' Not upheld (117 - 1104).
* '''Notes:''' The opportunity is detailed [[Idle_hands_are_the_devil's_playthings#Embrace_Your_Past|here]].

* '''Assembly:''' Wisdom Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Astrid Fjellrevening Rezia di Tassato

The Imperial synod sends Astrid Fjellrevening Rezia di Tassato with one dose of true liao to consecrate the colossus to the virtue of Pride in recognition of its inspirational nature.
* '''Judgement:''' Wisdom instructs us to act on the knowledge we have, to make the best choice with the information available.

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (160 - 24)

* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Ubarius of Invidia Citadel
* '''Raised By:''' Vasili Zoryakovich Zverokaz
* '''Judgement:''' The works of Almodin Oktístis are an affront to the dignity of the Empire; they denigrate our truth faith and demean the Pride of Imperial citizens. We send Ubarius of Invidia with 50 liao to lead Imperial citizens to destroy these statues. Let us follow the example of Ivarsgard and create a lasting covenant to show the world the fate of all false religions.
* '''Judgement:''' There are '''no''' virtuous arguments to be made for slavery. We the General Assembly encourage those who take Asavean coin to suppress slave revolts to consider their immortal spirits.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (108 - 97; margin 11). This mandate was in competition with [[#Judgement 14|Judgement 14]]. The latter judgement gained a greater margin and will be the one enacted.

* '''Raised By:''' Friar John of the Mourn
* '''Raised By:''' Elvar Vulfson
* '''Judgement:''' Any Imperial soldier who is here to defend the land will always find a bed and a meal is available to them for a night's rest. But those who are able and willing to work as best they can may stay a while longer. We send Friar John of the Mourn with 100 doses of liao to encourage Marchers to share their Prosperity with those Imperials who deserve it.
* '''Judgement:''' We have Pride in our shared history and heritage between Suaq and Hylje. The Hylje have demonstrated their Loyalty and Courage as has been recognised. It is time for the people of Wintermark to match such Loyalty and display Vigilance and Prosperity though action. We encourage all Suaq to reach out to the Hylje where they can do safely and respectfully to reconnect via this shared heritage and offer aid to them where it is needed.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (96 - 0). '''''Enacted'''''. Allows any Imperial army to take the new ''billet'' order in Marcher territory with access to the Imperial Breadbasket.

===Judgement 82===
===Judgement 82===
* '''Assembly:''' Brass Coast National
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Luis i Guerra
* '''Raised By:''' Harwyn Hollowatcher
* '''Judgement:''' Armies require mithril, and the Burning Falcon is no exception. Mithril is expensive and in short supply. The Freeborn look to the example of the Corsairs to guide the way. Our enemies have mithril aplenty, and it is only right that we take it from them and use it to raise an army against them. We send Luis i Guerra with 50 doses of liao to urge the soldiers of the Red Wind Corsairs and the Fire of the South to find the mithril we need to restore the Burning Falcon!
* '''Judgement:''' The triumphant victory over the vallorn in Westwood, Liathaven this past season cannot be understated. We the Synod recognise the first meaningful victory over the greatest spiritual threat in 350 years with immense Pride.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a greater majority (166 - 0).''''' Enacted'''''. For the next year the general of the Fire of the South can issue the Plunder order in addition to the normal orders they can issue. If they do use this order, or if the Red Wind Corsairs use their Daring Raid order, they are likely to see a small increase in the amount of resources they take and they will be significantly more likely to acquire mithril rather than either weirwood or white granite as part of the spoils they receive.  
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1385 - 0)
* '''Notes:''' The opportunity is detailed [[Put_on_your_war_paint#Grab_the_Mithril|here]]
 
===Judgement 84===
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Vukomir Maryankovitch Zverokaz

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1035 - 36)
 
===Judgement 85===
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Nira of Cantiarch's Hold
* '''Judgement:''' I am a priest of Courage. I am also an artisan. It is my Ambition to craft a Litany of the Labyrinth using ilium for each nation so that there will be an enduring way for each nation to protect the souls of its citizens and ensure their passage to the Labyrinth. It will be left to each nation to select the appropriate sect and oath. I call upon the Synod and Empire to look to their Prosperity to support this virtuous project through the donation of ilium and coin to Nira of Cantiarch's Hold for the crafting of lasting Litany of the Labyrinth reliquaries for each nation. Orc priests have been consulted and an appropriate item will be made for the Imperial Orc nation to ensure their souls achieve the passage intended by their people.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (809 - 126)
 
===Judgement 87===
* '''Assembly:''' Navarr National
* '''Raised By:''' Berry Shatterhorn
* '''Judgement:''' The people of Navarr should call out (and not display) any behaviour which discriminates against the Highguard, as this shows a lack of respect for their Prosperity and Loyalty in aiding the formation of Navarr's third army.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (78 - 16)
 
===Judgement 92===
* '''Assembly:''' Pride Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Josephine of Adina's Charge
* '''Judgement:''' "Pride inspires others, it does not demean them." People all over the Empire judge and demean briars for what they are rather than what they do. This is a massive failing of Pride and we encourage everyone to challenge any who would demean briars based on their lineage alone.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (227 - 0)
 
===Judgement 94===
* '''Assembly:''' Prosperity Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Luca i Taziel i Riqueza
* '''Judgement:''' Raiding the enemies of the Empire is a Prosperous action as judged by the Prosperity assembly, as long as the proceeds of that raiding are put to prosperous use.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (190 - 0)
 
===Judgement 96===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Gaelen Embercast
* '''Judgement:''' Torr Splitroot, Hero of the Empire, fell after battling the Jotun, upon his death, the armour he wore became wrapped in a spontaneous, permanent aura of Vigilance. We believe this miracle to be one of the signs of paragonhood, but we would invite followers of the Way from Sumaah to discuss this with us.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (198 - 0)
 
===Judgement 97===
* '''Assembly:''' Vigilance Virtue
* '''Raised By:''' Ser Ancel Watcher
* '''Judgement:''' Vigilance teaches us to seek out the blight in our neighbour's field lest our own be blighted. Whittle is a festering plague that needs action. '''My''' assembly make it clear with these words, if the Marchers are unable to cure it, then '''my''' assembly will do so. Vigilance thwarts malice.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (180 - 10)
 
===Judgement 98===
* '''Assembly:''' Varushka National
* '''Raised By:''' Belakov, Wolf of Karsk
* '''Judgement:''' We the Varushkan National Assembly welcome the priests of the Imperial Orcs to preach the Way and that of the life of opportunity of the legions, to the former subjugated tribes of orcs by the Druj, living in Ossium.

* '''Raised By:''' Irina Vasilova Dukov

* '''Assembly:''' Marches National
* '''Raised By:''' Sister Meredith
* '''Judgement:''' Many years ago, the Marchers made the decision to join the Empire and follow Imperial doctrine. The victors of the Cousin's War lived with the seven virtues in their hearts. The Whittle folk must now decide whether they wish to stand with their fellow Marchers and reject Hate as a virtue, or choose to be declared heretics. The law must apply equally to all Marchers, but in respect of their past deeds against the Jotun, the Assembly wishes to give them that choice.

* '''Judgement:''' The Bourse wields enormous power within the Empire. While many who use this system do so in virtue, many others engage in hoarding, and act to deny the Prosperity of others. If you believe a Bourse holder is engaged in hoarding and/or unprosperous activities you should report this to the Prosperity assembly for investigation. Failure to do so makes you complicit in their misdeeds!
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a greater majority (7 - 0). '''''Enacted'''''.

* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Judgement:''' The Ambition and Prosperity of Bron Maudssen led him to start his own hall, Hyrsthall, with a view of how they could share their Prosperity with Wintermark. Bron and Hyrsthall have provided all of the goods required to rebuild the Aviary of Ishal, demonstrating their Loyalty and Prosperity. We recognise their virtuous actions and hold them up as an example to Wintermark.
* '''Raised By:''' Maarit Suvidottir
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (164 - 0)
* '''Judgement:''' '''Sanction:Penance'''. The escalation of Medea Ruth from the Inquisition of Winter 382. 1) To accept the clemency pleas that was submitted for her in trial. 2) To go on a pilgrimage somewhere she judges will help inspire her. 3) To write monographs on the following subjects: Alienism, Field Surgery, Brain Surgery, Horses, Care of Dogs, and Virtue. And file them with relevant experts, authorities, libraries, or safe places to preserve them. 4) To accept and have pride in her merrow lineage as best she can. 5) To perform her hospital duties as virtuously as she can. 6) While all citizens should be vigilant for actions of the Whisper gallery, to give it extra attention for the duration of performing her lawful criminal sentence.
 
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1024 - 103)
===Judgement 119===
* '''Assembly:''' Urizen National
* '''Raised By:''' Alcuin
* '''Judgement:''' Medea Ruth was not a universally liked individual - her uncompromising stance on the pursuit of virtue was not intended to win friends. Those who knew her should contemplate her path - both her moments of great Ambition, and where she struggled with finding the path of virture, and apply those lessons to their own life and aiding others along theirs.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (44 - 8)
 
===Judgement 122===
* '''Assembly:''' Varushka National
* '''Raised By:''' Preceptor Yevanshka
* '''Judgement:''' We are appalled at the Highborn assembly's implication that exemplars are to be '''worshipped''' provided they are '''human'''. The Way is not one of heathen practice. We subsume our human will and our path of virtue to no-one - inspiration is '''not''' idolatry.

==Mandate==
The following [[mandate|mandates]] were passed during the Summer Solstice. Where there are [[Mandate#Competing_Mandates|competing mandates]], the one that passes with the largest margin is successful and all other competing mandates are considered to have failed.
===Judgement 4===
* '''Assembly:''' Highguard National
* '''Raised By:''' Ain of the Shattered Tower
* '''Judgement:''' A virtuous life leads the faithful to further righteous action but vile behaviour spreads just as easily if not checked. Blasphemy, idolatry, and heresy have been allowed to spread unchecked through the Empire for too long. We send Vashti of the Shattered Tower with 50 doses of liao to commit every citizen in Highguard to the struggle to eradicate the seeds of corruption from the Empire before they can flourish.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (560 - 14). '''''Enacted'''''. The current reduction in attendance in Highborn congregations will cease; for the coming year statements of principle in the Highborn Assembly that do not directly address matters of orthodoxy and false beliefs in the Empire will be significantly less likely to result in a mandate.

* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Kaspar Yakovitch von Holberg
* '''Judgement:''' The Sand Fishers are entirely without Ambition, Courage or Pride. They lack the strength of character the virtues provide, they will never prosper without them. We send Kaspar Yakovitch von Holberg with 25 doses of liao to teach the Sand Fishers of Misericorde the Seven Virtues.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1299- 72). '''''Enacted'''''. Among other things, the benefits provided by the covered market to businesses that diversified would be permanently reduced to two random herbs per diversification. Any future benefits that might be gained by the people of the Holberg as a result of the presence of the Sand Fishers could potentially be less beneficial to the League, and would certainly be more expensive to capitalise on.

We send Ophelia Sanguineo Rezia di Tassato with 50 doses of liao to encourage League citizens to remember that it is virtuous to despise the thieving bandit, the lazy wastrel, the grasping miser, and those who take without giving.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1247- 140). '''''Enacted'''''. The Synod agrees that the practice of Dead Reckoning is not against doctrine. The current penalty affecting congregations in that nation would end.

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (214 - 0). '''''Enacted'''''.  Every congregation, farm, business, herb garden, forest, mine, mana site, and fleet in Holberg will suffer a one rank penalty to its production following the Summer Solstice. This penalty will last until the start of the Winter Solstice 383YE. The Sand Fishers would gain significantly from this mandate - the support of their immediate neighbours in Holberg would further cement good relations between the new inhabitants of Misericorde and the people of the city.

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (121 - 0, closed early). '''''Enacted'''''. Every [[congregation]], [[farm]], [[business]], [[herb garden]], [[forest]], [[mine]], [[mana site]], and [[fleet]] owned by an Imperial Orc will suffer a one rank penalty to its production until the start of the Winter Solstice 383YE, as the Imperial Orc's loss becomes the Sand Fisher's gain.

* '''Judgement:''' The essence of the Great Dance is the belief that each person must find the time and the place where they can become their most virtuous self. It is a practical way to help people become more virtuous and we send Madog Exiles-End with 50 doses of liao to confirm to Navarr citizens that there is nothing in the Great Dance that is incompatible with the Way.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (674 - 10).

* '''Judgement:''' The doctrine of the Way is not diminished by the parody of the Broken Wheel, precisely because it is a parody. What matters to the faithful is the beliefs people hold in the heart, not the practical jokes they play on their friends. We send Atushah i Fijadoz i Erigo with 50 doses of liao to reassure the Freeborn that there is no need for concern about the feast

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (1049- 10). Closed early.

We send Constanza i Kalamar i Guerra with 50 doses of liao to reassure the Freeborn that there is no need for concern about the feast.

* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Rane Sherarding
* '''Raised By:''' Amris Johan Merikovich
* '''Judgement:''' '''Sanction: Penance'''. Escalation of Judgement 61, Winter 382. "The virtuous apply what they have learned" only for this do I not seek harsher sanction. Franco i Erigo declined to enact his mandate as new knowledge reached him. This was Wisdom. While the Synod must change and adapt to knowledge, and priests not be unduly punished for acting in virtue, the vote of the Synod was still overruled. The Synod must be vigilant in its approach to foreigners and Foreign Affairs. I send Franco to collect a story from each Imperial Ambassador, whatever tale they choose of Vigilance in their work so he may learn. These must be written, with a foreword of explanation and lessons learnt by Franco, and by the end of Spring 384 place as a book in the Library, or in my hand for appropriate distribution, or with the Inquisitor of Pride in my absence. The cooperation of the Ambassadors is Franco's responsibility I cannot and do not compel them. If the like of this happens again I would press for harsh judgements.
* '''Judgement:''' Sovereigns are clearly inhuman entities, but the doctrines of the faith do not prohibit bargaining with them anymore than they prohibit bargaining with eternals or their heralds. We send Father Drakov, Tender of the Hearth with 50 doses of liao to remind every Varushkan that ''humans are the greatest of all beings in creation''.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (265 - 10).

* '''Judgement:''' “To sleep in Kallavesa” is a metaphor that describes the heroes reward and interring the bodies of heroes in the Wintermark swamp is no different to the tombs and mausoleums of Highguard.

* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (533 - 0).

We send Aspar with 50 doses of liao to acknowledge to Urizeni citizens that is it acceptable to call for any virtuous human to be recognised as a paragon.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (763 - 251). '''''Enacted'''''. The Synod agrees that while Sulemaine is not a paragon, calling for her to be recognised as such is not against doctrine. The current penalty affecting congregations in that nation will end.

* '''Raised By:''' Solas
* '''Raised By:''' Usko Argonning
* '''Judgement:''' '''Sanction: Condemnation'''. We condemn Medea Ruth of Irremais Spire for abuse of powers; no individual should be able to write themselves a vindication, thus no priest should raise a judgement of inquisition against themselves.
* '''Judgement:''' The Wintermark National Assembly condemn the cowardice of every denizen of Sermersuaq who put down their weapons before all hope of victory was lost. Those who lacked the cunning and the daring to fight with heroism against the Jotun should consider the damage to their skein. We send Usko Argonning to Sermersuaq with 25 doses of liao to urge those who fell short to become frayed.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (862 - 184).

===Judgement 86===
* '''Assembly:''' General
* '''Assembly:''' Imperial Orc National
* '''Raised By:''' Medea Ruth
* '''Raised By:''' Bloodcrow Udoo
* '''Judgement:''' '''Sanction: Condemnation'''. Following inquisition, Medea Ruth is found to have committed a religious crime of heresy. While under a strong malign aura that influenced her actions, she preached Hatred. We ask that this is taken into consideration by the magistrates but we have no choice but to condemn. Written by Skywise Tulva.
* '''Judgement:''' Every orc who hears the ancestors' call to battle and feels themselves ready to face the challenge of the Abyss has a place in the Imperial Orcs. We send Bloodcrow Udoo with 50 liao to make them aware that a life in the Imperial Orcs will help them to cross the Howling Abyss.

* '''Assembly:''' Prosperity
* '''Assembly:''' Brass Coast National
* '''Raised By:''' Cesare Enzo di Trivento
* '''Raised By:''' Efenia i Maristela i Riqueza
* '''Judgement:''' '''Sanction: Vindication'''. The assembly of Prosperity of the Imperial synod after due inquisition commend the works of Esteban Del Rio Blanco I Guerra in his conduct and management of the Dubhtraig raid. We find his actions emulate the exemplar Zemress, Blade of the isles, in effecting militant warfare against the Grendel and in bringing just reward for the labours of all who contributed.
* '''Judgement:''' We must never shy away from what makes us who we are. We send Efenia i Maristela i Riqueza with 100 doses of liao to encourage the corsairs to engage in privateering.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (58 - 0).
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (104 - 50). '''''Enacted'''''. Any Brass Coast fleet that engages in trade loses the equivalent of one rank of production for at least the next two seasons. Every captain on the Coast will redouble their efforts to show that privateering is not just daring and dangerous but bloody hard work! People are still fired up by the raids on the Grendel territories, with this kind of encouragement another opportunity like that would be simply bound to turn up soon.

===Judgement 35===
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Rafael Barossa di Tassato
* '''Judgement:''' '''Sanction:Vindication'''. The Auditor of Senatorial Accountability vindicates Guiseppe Sanguineo von Temeschwar. He acted to correct the previous failings of Senate and Synod and did so effectively and well. His pride in his actions is obvious and well-deserved. His ambition to defeat the treacherous Druj guides his decision-making and I find his actions regarding the idols of Almodin Oktístis to have been entirely virtuous and worthy of commendation.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld (620 - 10)

===Judgement 54===
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Genoveva Barossa, Inquisitor of Pride
* '''Judgement:''' '''Excommunication'''. Following on from the inquisition of Alderai at Winter 382, letters were found in his possession which demonstrate he was working with Wendigo. That he destroyed the Winterfolk/Jotun meeting place at Wendigo's behest, to damage relations with the Jotun and additionally that he was recruited by Wendigo to kill everyone at Oakwood Monastery, a sacred place of the Marchers, and to "defile" it. This coupled with his admitted cannibalism, and the vision of him being directed by a beast-like figure with horns and a rictus grin who revelled in the destruction, clearly shows that he was both a traitor and an idolator and that even having been killed, he richly deserves excommunication.
* '''Outcome:''' Upheld with a Greater Majority (1578 - 80)
 
===Judgement 55===
* '''Assembly:''' Ambition Virtue

Following ''thorough'' and ''probing'' inquisition by Yarona of the Chantry, we the Highborn assembly call for the ''vindication'' of Tolamy regarding his actions in saving the injured at Atheneum Spire, Morrow. His actions were illegal, and he has been tried and convicted accordingly. This inquisition was concerned not with legality, but with Virtue. We find him to have acted ''courageously'' when face with Great Peril and an impossible decision. We find him to have shown unwavering ''Loyalty'' in refusing to abandon his patients. We believe that not only did Tolamy's actions preserve life, they also ''safeguarded vulnerable souls'' from Druj interference. Yarona will offer Tolamy the testimony "steadfast guardian".

In failing to alert the Synod to their concerns, in assuming it was acceptable to employ idolators "If the Synod hasn't told the Senate not to" and in the assumption that employing the idolator "wouldn't matter so long as he wasn't building places of spiritual significance" I find Qusay i Kalamar i Guerrato be complicit by negligence to the actions of Almodin Oktístis and escalate to castigation.

* '''Judgement:''' We request 20 Thrones from the virtue fund to be given to Bloodcrow Yargol who, acting on behalf of the Imperial Orcs, demonstrated their great loyalty to their fellow citizens with the prosperous donation of 5 wains of mithril which was used to liberate 100 Imperial Citizens and their descendants who were being held as slaves by the Thule. This is the second time they have made a similar donation and expected nothing in return.

* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Benedict Pacelli von Holberg
* '''Judgement:''' The Ambition of Thomas and Eduard Dunlain was to create a team of runners from across the Empire to aid communication between nations travelling through the Sentinel Gate together. They believed this would save lives and improve our chances of victory. Though both have died in service to the Empire, the Synod awards twenty Thrones in recognition of their efforts and to support the creation of a sodality that will turn their Ambition into a lasting reality.

* '''Judgement:''' The loyalty of the Generals Barossa in creating and executing the strategy which prevented Morrow from being over-run by the Druj has been recognised by the Synod (Judgement 41 Winter 383) and the commission of a School of War has been proposed by Nares of Urizen in gratitude for their work.

* '''Judgement:''' Further to the successful Judgement 7 last summit, a further 40 Thrones is sought by Chauntecleer to purchase the remaining materials reqired to construct a brokerage for the purposes of establishing a supply of liao to Surrani followers of the Way. We believe we should be seeing to ai them, reiforce their faith, and bring Salvation to others in the Confederacy. However, we are not blind to the political situation with our neighbours, and have already made a commitment to the Throne not to attempt to commission this work through the Senate without their approval. We would however suggest that were the brokerages to be built now, an the appointment of their overseer be via the Throne then their functioning could still await the Throne's discetion - but allow for their immediate utilisation without the elay from construction; should the situation with our neighbours change; for better or worse. Although not currently illegal to operate these facilities, we acknowleddge the spirit of te treaty and the inflammatory possibility of flaunting it. We counsel to be patient, but not to forget.

* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Chauntecleer Words
* '''Judgement:''' Chauntecleer Words requests 50 Thrones, in order to realise a proposal from Fenoren - Grandmaster of the Sevenfold Path. The proposal is that the funds be set aside to purchase mithril, to then be used in the construction of a sinecure for the collection of mana entitles Sevenfold Virtue's Reward. The means to control said sinecure would be via Declaration of Candidacy within the Conclave. The Sevenfold Path would further ensure that each summit at least one mage was provided the mana to make a declaration, with the content of their speech containing the reasoning as to why their use of magic has been virtuous. In this manner the Sevenfold Path would seek to ensure not only are virtuous mages rewarded for their efforts, but done so visibly to inspire others; and perhaps most importantly that henceforth Conclave will each summit have at least one debate guaranteed to be focused on the virtuous use of magic.

===Judgement 66===
* '''Assembly:''' General Assembly
* '''Raised By:''' Violante i Abasdo i Riqueza

Their fleets are at half strength for two seasons hence keeping them from engaging in prosperous trade until Winter.

Summer Synod 383YE.jpg
A virtuous pilgrimage is a profound calling for many who follow the Way.

Overview

During the Summer Solstice 383YE Summit, the Imperial Synod raised 131 judgements.

Change of doctrine

No change of doctrine was proposed during the Summer Solstice summit.

Veto

The veto was not sought during the Summer Solstice 383YE.

Statement of principle

The following statements of principle were presented to the assemblies of the Imperial Synod. Thirty-five of these statements achieved a Greater Majority, meaning they will be distributed to appropriate assemblies.

Judgement 12

  • Assembly: Prosperity Virtue
  • Raised By: Bartimaeus
  • Judgement: The Sand Fishers have begun the slow recovery from the tortures inflicted on the Druj. The Prosperity assembly calls upon its priests, and all those who trade with these foreigners to set prosperous prices and trade fairly - to teach and demonstrate the first tenet of Prosperity. Strive, toil, and claim the just rewards of your labours.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (226 - 10)

Judgement 14

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Alderai
  • Judgement: Honour is a Jotun concept. Negotiating so-called honour duels with barbarians is not only treason (except where Ambassadorial privilege applies) it is also Idolatry.
  • Outcome: Not upheld (334 - 1066)

Judgement 18

  • Assembly: Varushka National
  • Raised By: Nisha Strascovich
  • Judgement: The Varushkan assembly recognises the virtues of the citizens of Varushka. Your COURAGE, VIGILANCE, and WISDOM in fighting the dark magics, wolves, and monsters. Your AMBITION and LOYALTY that enables the Empire to prosper as you hold back the MONSTROUS TIDE from your unsuspecting neighbours. RISE UP! And raise a toast to Varushka and the Empire!
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (160 - 0)

Judgement 19

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Vindictus
  • Judgement: The Grey Pilgrimage rose to challenge the greatest spiritual threat to the Empire. It would be an affront to Pride, Loyalty, Courage, and Wisdom if these pilgrims were restrained or dissuaded in their dedication to spreading doctrine and combating heresy. It is a tragic shame that any theological debate brought about by the pilgrimage has provoked such a combative response from our siblings from other national assemblies. It is in these drastic times that Loyalty to each other and the Empire must overcome these small differences. We urge the General Assembly not to spurn or reject the grey pilgrims. These are Highborn citizens following their very nature. We are better than this.
  • Outcome: Upheld (960 -528)

Judgement 21

  • Assembly: Dawn National
  • Raised By: Darien Numbers
  • Judgement: When Empress Richilde stood for Queen of Dawn, none would take the field against her. No-one wanted their name or their house to be ranked as opposition, nor to question that she was a fit candidate. However, there were fourteen among them who understood that to win uncontested is less glorious than to best even the most meagre of challenges. Those fourteen knights were the first Black Knights, and by adopting anonymity as they stood against Richilde they sacrificed their personal glory, and one's life, to ensure that the tourney was held and that all others that took part had chance to demonstrate their worth and earn their legends. We will never know their identity, or that of any who continue the tradition. But we can acknowledge and applaud their sacrifices, and we can encourage others to put aside their own glory or histories if necessary; to ensure that hereafter no contest of any kind in Dawn is won without sufficiently glorious challenge. Long may the tradition of Black Knights continue, long may they provide us resplendent contests, long may we praise these anonymous examples of the spirit of Dawn.
  • Outcome: Upheld with Greater Majority (110 - 0)

Judgement 26

  • Assembly: Highguard National
  • Raised By: Sister Tabitha
  • Judgement: Reikos has finally been fully retaken, all Highborn territory is now in our hands again. Now is the time for rebuilding what was lost - we remember that wood burns but stone endures. This assembly calls for a great period of building - both to rebuild Reikos and to build a permanent legacy across all of Highguard. Architects, engineers, builders, benefactors, and labourers should come together to show the world the Pride and Prosperity of the Highborn.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (501 - 0)

Judgement 29

  • Assembly: Dawn National
  • Raised By: Mordred
  • Judgement: Issuing the following poem: "Whose name should Troubadours resound? Across the waters and the land? The king beneath the stony ground of gold and gemstones, Adamant... Above the shining Semmerlak, an edifice of granite stands, unbreakable by foe's attack, the glorious work of Adamant. O king! Forgive our tardiness, in giving you your proper due, and let express we with this verse our gratitude and thanks to you."
  • Outcome: Upheld (66 - 0)

Judgement 33

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Jericho
  • Judgement: Jericho of the Suns of Couros - I seek approval from the Imperial Synod for my pilgrimage to visit the burial places of the Empire and to talk to those who have lost dear friends and family in service to the Empire's war effort. I do this as custodian of the Imperial War Memorial and the holder of the Book of the Dead. I will do this as an old soldier and priest to support all nations in honouring our war dead and in service of the Empire.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (1496 - 72)

Judgement 39

  • Assembly: Highguard National
  • Raised By: Able
  • Judgement: The rejection of the Grey Pilgrims by the Marcher assembly is an act of cowardice and disloyalty. The tenets of Courage tell us to despise cowardice that leads to inaction - as the Marchers have shown no attempt to learn and grow - and the tenets of Loyalty call upon us to build up our fellows.To help and aid them, the Highborn assembly calls upon the grey pilgrims, and all wayfarers of the faith, to look to the example of Permion - cowardice and corruption must be challenged when it is found no matter the opposition. We must help our Marcher cousins to find the Way once more. If their assembly is not up to the task, we will do it for them.
  • Outcome: Upheld (253 - 246)

Judgement 41

  • Assembly: Loyalty Virtue
  • Raised By: Jared of the Suns of Couros
  • Judgement: Pilgrims of Loyalty in the Empire hear the voice of your assembly! Know thy heart but always remember the examples of the Bolstering Bill and Cora Holdfast in helping those in need. The Empire has an influx of new citizens who are liberated former slaves. Help them find their place and their new start by offering what support you can give.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (360 - 0)

Judgement 42

  • Assembly: Highguard National
  • Raised By: Cimeies of Felix's Watch
  • Judgement: To recognise someone as an Exemplar is to submit them to the Synod as someone to be spoken highly of, whose Virtuous deeds should be extolled, and to use them as inspiration for others. This is exaltation. To recognise someone as an Exemplar is to submit them to the Synod as someone who should be regarded with great respect, to revere and admire them, and someone who should be held in high regard. This is veneration. To worship, exalt, or venerate an inhuman spirit is idolatry. The recognition of inhuman Exemplars and the idea that they should be taught to human congregations as equal to human exemplars is idolatry.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (313 - 112)

Judgement 43

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Hazelelponi of the Shattered Tower
  • Judgement: Our Empire has Wisdom spread to it from all kinds of priests, whose role it is to travel our Empire and spread The Way. Guides, Wayfarers, Bishops, Questors, Troubadours, Stormcrows; all have their own unique ways of spreading the Way, and are vigilant in their teachings and questionings. The Grey Pilgrims are a new addition to our travelling priests and should still take inspiration from them. To act to impede any of them in their responsibility would be to subvert Human Destiny.
  • Outcome: Not upheld; withdrawn (834 - 424) Withdrawn at request of raising priest

Judgement 44

  • Assembly: Loyalty Virtue
  • Raised By: Asher
  • Judgement: While only the virtuous can choose the loyalty of their own heart, the Loyalty Assembly applauds those people and organisations that seek to inspire Loyalty in others.
  • Outcome: Upheld (196 - 0)

Judgement 46

  • Assembly: Nine
  • Raised By: Empress Lisabetta von Holberg
  • Judgement: Pilgrimage takes us on a journey to the heart of our Imperial faith. I ask citizens of the Empire to consider whether they should undertake pilgrimage - in the understanding that this may take many forms whether of the body, mind, or spirit, unique to each person's path of virtue. I ask this, that we may, as an Enlightened Empire, find new insights to help us overcome our many challenges. As the Throne, I commit myself to undertake a pilgrimage of Wisdom.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (6 - 0)

Judgement 48

  • Assembly: Brass Coast National
  • Raised By: Tiana i Zaydan i Riqueza
  • Judgement: Supporting the freedom to choose your own virtuous path is what it means to be Freeborn. We will not tell you what to do with your fleets, but let your virtue guide you. Both trading and privateering can be prosperous as long as we remember the teachings of Zemress. After raiding, she gave a share to those who worked hard with her. She offered opportunity to all willing to work. She claimed a righteous bounty from the enemies of the Empire. She invested her personal wealth in projects, in her community. Whether you raid or trade be like Zemress.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (170 - 0)

Judgement 49

  • Assembly: Urizen National
  • Raised By: Galene Netherwatch
  • Judgement: The assembly wishes to thank everyone involved, including the eternal Adamant, in the creation of the Three Watchers. We must not subsume our will to inhuman forces, but nor should we fear to act where cooperation with an eternal can support virtuous endeavours.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (80 - 0)

Judgement 52

  • Assembly: Wintermark National
  • Raised By: Jorma Steelhail
  • Judgement: We choose Raknar Ravenstorm, Eyes of the North, liberator of slaves, they that led the recovery of the Bloodcloak, Thane of Stormspire, as the Warden of the Great Raid upon Ikka's Tears. Heroes will march, names made, chains broken. For our people! For Saga! For Skein we march! We Raid!
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (164 - 10)

Judgement 57

  • Assembly: Ambition Virtue
  • Raised By: Ranae de Rondell
  • Judgement: The Road to virtue rises high/Hard to travel, yet we must try/We stand together that we might/Reach up into the very sky. We believe that all benefit from the support, challenge, and celebration of the Synod. A core mechanic for this is the call to inquisition. Respect this process.
  • Outcome: Upheld (80 - 0)

Judgement 63

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Medea Ruth Irremais
  • Judgement: The Prosperous do not hoard knowledge, and the Courageous speak their minds. The Whisper Gallery would have us skulk in secrecy. We encourage citizens to share their knowledge, feelings, and beliefs. Wisdom calls on us to test our thoughts, by sharing them with others. Weaken the Whisper Gallery.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1139 - 161)

Judgement 65

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Pallidius of Highwatch
  • Judgement: We the Synod invite any interested parties from the Iron Confederacy to visit the Highwatch Camp within Urizen at Anvil, so they can gain understanding of the details of the True Way. We further encourage priests of the Way to meet the visitors and aid in their education.
  • Outcome: Upheld (786 - 276)

Judgement 67

  • Assembly: Navarr National
  • Raised By: Brat Umbral Path
  • Judgement: Due to the connection to the vallorn, Navarr briars should not be given the freedom to interfere with the war against our great enemy. As such, the nation should not vote for them to assume Imperial positions.
  • Outcome: Not Upheld by a Greater Majority (14 - 146)

Judgement 69

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Rylar
  • Judgement: The Synod encourages Imperial artisans to travel and teach free citizens of Otkodov their art, provided this secures the release of the Runesmiths the Thule hold as slaves.
  • Outcome: Upheld (870 - 38)

Judgement 70

  • Assembly: Navarr National
  • Raised By: Corey Wayfarer
  • Judgement: This assembly asks the nation to examine its loyalties and consider supporting fellow Navarr in Brocéliande and Liathaven to stay in their homes following the casting of Wither the Seed.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (158 - 8)

Judgement 72

  • Assembly: Highguard National
  • Raised By: Lev Unbound
  • Judgement: Inquisition is good for the soul. People of Highguard should approach their priests and other priests to undergo an inquisition. Priests of Highguard should seek out citizens and submit them to an inquisition to illuminate the virtue of their actions and work.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (452 - 186)

Judgement 74

Judgement 76

  • Assembly: Navarr National
  • Raised By: Raelyn Holdfast
  • Judgement: We the Navarr assembly recognise that the briars among us are human, capable of Virtue, and citizens of the Empire. To prevent them from standing for or holding Imperial Positions based on their lineage instead of their actions runs directly counter to the teachings of Pride, Ambition, and the Doctrine of Human Destiny.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (150 - 8)

Judgement 77

  • Assembly: Wisdom Assembly
  • Raised By: Absalom
  • Judgement: Wisdom instructs us to act on the knowledge we have, to make the best choice with the information available. To ignore what we have discovered in order to support and maintain a notion of tradition is folly. Imperial positions should be appointed on virtue, not on unwritten traditions.
  • Outcome: Upheld (160 - 24)

Judgement 78

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Vasili Zoryakovich Zverokaz
  • Judgement: There are no virtuous arguments to be made for slavery. We the General Assembly encourage those who take Asavean coin to suppress slave revolts to consider their immortal spirits.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1361 - 32)

Judgement 79

  • Assembly: Wintermark National
  • Raised By: Elvar Vulfson
  • Judgement: We have Pride in our shared history and heritage between Suaq and Hylje. The Hylje have demonstrated their Loyalty and Courage as has been recognised.

We encourage all Suaq to reach out to the Hylje where they can do safely and respectfully to reconnect via this shared heritage and offer aid to them where it is needed.

Judgement 85

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Nira of Cantiarch's Hold
  • Judgement: I am a priest of Courage. I am also an artisan. It is my Ambition to craft a Litany of the Labyrinth using ilium for each nation so that there will be an enduring way for each nation to protect the souls of its citizens and ensure their passage to the Labyrinth. It will be left to each nation to select the appropriate sect and oath. I call upon the Synod and Empire to look to their Prosperity to support this virtuous project through the donation of ilium and coin to Nira of Cantiarch's Hold for the crafting of lasting Litany of the Labyrinth reliquaries for each nation. Orc priests have been consulted and an appropriate item will be made for the Imperial Orc nation to ensure their souls achieve the passage intended by their people.
  • Outcome: Upheld (809 - 126)

Judgement 87

  • Assembly: Navarr National
  • Raised By: Berry Shatterhorn
  • Judgement: The people of Navarr should call out (and not display) any behaviour which discriminates against the Highguard, as this shows a lack of respect for their Prosperity and Loyalty in aiding the formation of Navarr's third army.
  • Outcome: Upheld (78 - 16)

Judgement 92

  • Assembly: Pride Virtue
  • Raised By: Josephine of Adina's Charge
  • Judgement: "Pride inspires others, it does not demean them." People all over the Empire judge and demean briars for what they are rather than what they do. This is a massive failing of Pride and we encourage everyone to challenge any who would demean briars based on their lineage alone.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (227 - 0)

Judgement 94

  • Assembly: Prosperity Virtue
  • Raised By: Luca i Taziel i Riqueza

  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (190 - 0)

Judgement 96

  • Assembly: Vigilance Virtue
  • Raised By: Gaelen Embercast
  • Judgement: Torr Splitroot, Hero of the Empire, fell after battling the Jotun, upon his death, the armour he wore became wrapped in a spontaneous, permanent aura of Vigilance. We believe this miracle to be one of the signs of paragonhood, but we would invite followers of the Way from Sumaah to discuss this with us.
  • Outcome: Upheld (198 - 0)

Judgement 97

  • Assembly: Vigilance Virtue
  • Raised By: Ser Ancel Watcher
  • Judgement: Vigilance teaches us to seek out the blight in our neighbour's field lest our own be blighted. Whittle is a festering plague that needs action. My assembly make it clear with these words, if the Marchers are unable to cure it, then my assembly will do so. Vigilance thwarts malice.
  • Outcome: Upheld (180 - 10)

Judgement 98

  • Assembly: Varushka National
  • Raised By: Belakov, Wolf of Karsk

  • Assembly: Varushka National
  • Raised By: Irina Vasilova Dukov

Judgement 100

  • Assembly: Varushka National
  • Raised By: Goran Sokolov Zaytsev

  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (170 - 0)

Judgement 106

  • Assembly: Marches National
  • Raised By: Sister Meredith
  • Judgement: Many years ago, the Marchers made the decision to join the Empire and follow Imperial doctrine. The victors of the Cousin's War lived with the seven virtues in their hearts. The Whittle folk must now decide whether they wish to stand with their fellow Marchers and reject Hate as a virtue, or choose to be declared heretics. The law must apply equally to all Marchers, but in respect of their past deeds against the Jotun, the Assembly wishes to give them that choice.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (106 - 0)

Judgement 108

  • Assembly: Wintermark National
  • Raised By: Severi Jarlmarison
  • Judgement: We the WIntermark assembly condemn the murderer of Alderei as there was no virtuous reason in killing them while they were in the hands of Imperial Law. We call upon their Pride and Courage to own their crime and come forward to face the consequences of their action.

Judgement 109

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Lady Laudine du'Lac
  • Judgement: We encourage the people of the Empire to welcome and aid the refugees from Asavea fleeing slavery. It recently came to light that these people share ancestry with our nation of Dawn.

  • Outcome: Upheld (1362 - 0)

Judgement 110

  • Assembly: Marcher National
  • Raised By: Bethany
  • Judgement: We keep hearing tales of lost dolmen. The wise act on what they know. We call on the beaters, landskeepers, and others that travel, especially along mana-courses and along the borders, particularly of Bregasland, to keep an eye out and report any findings to Bethany or Elke of King's Stoke, so we can bring them back into service for the Prosperity of the nation.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (116 - 0)

Judgement 111

  • Assembly: Brass Coast National
  • Raised By: Iroh i Riqueza
  • Judgement: We find ourselves in a troubled time. Freeborn should look to the virtuous examples of the past to give them strength in this trying time; the sacrifice of the Burning Falcons and the Courageous actions of Zemress aginst numbers greater than their own as well as many others from our histories. We are and always have been brazen and free, we will never bow to any barbarian be they Jotun, Lasambrian, Grendel, or any other.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (130 - 0)

Judgement 112

  • Raised By: Pelleas Montrose

  • Outcome: Not Upheld (42 - 42)

Judgement 115

  • Assembly: Prosperity Virtue
  • Raised By: Onan of the Chantry
  • Judgement: The Bourse wields enormous power within the Empire. While many who use this system do so in virtue, many others engage in hoarding, and act to deny the Prosperity of others. If you believe a Bourse holder is engaged in hoarding and/or unprosperous activities you should report this to the Prosperity assembly for investigation. Failure to do so makes you complicit in their misdeeds!
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (182 - 24)

Judgement 116

  • Assembly: Highguard National
  • Raised By: Shiloh of the Dauntless Light
  • Judgement: The attack on Sarvos and Holberg by Zephaniah's Lament is a tragedy. We Highborn feel very keenly the affront to the Pride of an entire nation. We will not rest until this debt is erased. What was great will be greater still.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (649 - 6)

Judgement 117

  • Assembly: Wintermark National
  • Raised By: Vauraus Korppitkotka

We recognise their virtuous actions and hold them up as an example to Wintermark.
  • Outcome: Upheld (164 - 0)

Judgement 119

  • Assembly: Urizen National
  • Raised By: Alcuin
  • Judgement: Medea Ruth was not a universally liked individual - her uncompromising stance on the pursuit of virtue was not intended to win friends. Those who knew her should contemplate her path - both her moments of great Ambition, and where she struggled with finding the path of virture, and apply those lessons to their own life and aiding others along theirs.
  • Outcome: Upheld (44 - 8)

Judgement 122

  • Assembly: Varushka National
  • Raised By: Preceptor Yevanshka
  • Judgement: We are appalled at the Highborn assembly's implication that exemplars are to be worshipped provided they are human. The Way is not one of heathen practice. We subsume our human will and our path of virtue to no-one - inspiration is not idolatry.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (132 - 0); Primacy

Judgement 123

  • Assembly: Varushka National
  • Raised By: Doubravka Nadjaovna Vanek
  • Judgement: We know cruelty. We live with it. We the Varushkan national assembly will take the steps to help rehabilitate all those who wish it, who have suffered and cannot bear its effects.

Judgement 127

  • Assembly: Marches National
  • Raised By: Anna Perrin
  • Judgement: Lily Guildenstern is making the breadbasket available to all those wishing to celebrate Marcher traditions and beliefs at fayre or fete or upcoming wassail. Use this bounty to draw Marcher and Mournwold Orc from near and far, to bring our community together, so none is left a stranger, and all can benefit from closer ties between market town and households.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (114 - 0); Primacy

Judgement 128

  • Assembly: Marches National
  • Raised By: Elspeth of Pickham
  • Judgement: Those who serve the Empire by providing food and drink for Prosperous rates are every bit as virtuous and valuable to the Empire as those who fight or shout. A full stomach is a sound foundation for virtue.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (110 - 0); Primacy

Mandate

The following mandates were passed during the Summer Solstice. Where there are competing mandates, the one that passes with the largest margin is successful and all other competing mandates are considered to have failed.

Judgement 4

  • Assembly: Highguard National
  • Raised By: Ain of the Shattered Tower
  • Judgement: A virtuous life leads the faithful to further righteous action but vile behaviour spreads just as easily if not checked. Blasphemy, idolatry, and heresy have been allowed to spread unchecked through the Empire for too long. We send Vashti of the Shattered Tower with 50 doses of liao to commit every citizen in Highguard to the struggle to eradicate the seeds of corruption from the Empire before they can flourish.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (560 - 14). Enacted. The current reduction in attendance in Highborn congregations will cease; for the coming year statements of principle in the Highborn Assembly that do not directly address matters of orthodoxy and false beliefs in the Empire will be significantly less likely to result in a mandate.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 5

  • Assembly: Loyalty Virtue
  • Raised By: Anastasiya Volkov
  • Judgement: We urge pilgrims to know their heart and what commands its devotion above all else. We send Anastasiya Volkov with 75 doses of liao to warn pilgrims against those who seek to compel their loyalty and urge them to keep faith with those they are loyal to, whatever it takes.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (233- 18). Enacted. Has far-reaching implications for the Synod and the Loyalty assembly.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 6

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Kaspar Yakovitch von Holberg
  • Judgement: The Sand Fishers are entirely without Ambition, Courage or Pride. They lack the strength of character the virtues provide, they will never prosper without them. We send Kaspar Yakovitch von Holberg with 25 doses of liao to teach the Sand Fishers of Misericorde the Seven Virtues.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1299- 72). Enacted. Among other things, the benefits provided by the covered market to businesses that diversified would be permanently reduced to two random herbs per diversification. Any future benefits that might be gained by the people of the Holberg as a result of the presence of the Sand Fishers could potentially be less beneficial to the League, and would certainly be more expensive to capitalise on.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 7

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Ophelia Sanguineo Rezia di Tassato
  • Judgement: The essence of Dead Reckoning is an embodiment of prosperity, a system to ensure that people get the just rewards for their labours. We send Ophelia Sanguineo Rezia di Tassato with 50 doses of liao to encourage League citizens to remember that it is virtuous to despise the thieving bandit, the lazy wastrel, the grasping miser, and those who take without giving.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1247- 140). Enacted. The Synod agrees that the practice of Dead Reckoning is not against doctrine. The current penalty affecting congregations in that nation would end.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 9

  • Assembly: League National
  • Raised By: Lieselotte Van Holberg
  • Judgement: The Sand Fishers are broken, they survived under the Druj, but now they are foreigners living in the Empire. It is our duty to show them that they can be more. We send Leonora Van Holberg with 50 doses of liao to urge every Citizen of Holberg to do what they can to support them.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (214 - 0). Enacted. Every congregation, farm, business, herb garden, forest, mine, mana site, and fleet in Holberg will suffer a one rank penalty to its production following the Summer Solstice. This penalty will last until the start of the Winter Solstice 383YE. The Sand Fishers would gain significantly from this mandate - the support of their immediate neighbours in Holberg would further cement good relations between the new inhabitants of Misericorde and the people of the city.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 11

  • Assembly: Wintermark National
  • Raised By: Rafe
  • Judgement: The Wintermark National Assembly applaud the cunning and guile of every brave Wintermark hero taking part in the raid on Ikka's Tears.

  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (274 - 10). Enacted. Every Wintermark military unit that takes part in the expedition to Pride of Ikka's Tears will receive a boost in courage and morale equivalent to two additional ranks for the next two seasons.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here.

Judgement 13

  • Assembly: Imperial Orc National
  • Raised By: Skywise Gralka
  • Judgement: The Sand Fishers are broken, they embrace oblivion in the Howling Abyss. It is our duty to show them that they can be more.

  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (121 - 0, closed early). Enacted. Every congregation, farm, business, herb garden, forest, mine, mana site, and fleet owned by an Imperial Orc will suffer a one rank penalty to its production until the start of the Winter Solstice 383YE, as the Imperial Orc's loss becomes the Sand Fisher's gain.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here.

Judgement 27

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Maximillian
  • Judgement: The Axou have turned their back on slavery. The General Assembly urges every Imperial citizen to support the change we wish to see in the world by looking for new trading possibilities with the Axos. We send Tarquinius Ankarien with (amount) doses of liao to urge Imperial citizens to engage with the Axou traders and look for new opportunities to enrich us both by enhancing trade between us.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1333 - 10). Enacted. Inspires people in every nation in the Empire leading to at least three opportunities to create new wealth through improved trade next season.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 28

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Meredith Nighthaven
  • Judgement: The essence of the Great Dance is the belief that each person must find the time and the place where they can become their most virtuous self. It is a practical way to help people become more virtuous and we send Madog Exiles-End with 50 doses of liao to confirm to Navarr citizens that there is nothing in the Great Dance that is incompatible with the Way.
  • Outcome: Upheld (1278 - 97). Enacted. The Synod agrees that the philosophy of the Great Dance is not against doctrine. The current penalty affecting congregations in that nation would end.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 30

  • Assembly: Dawn National
  • Raised By: Mael Donjeon of House Remys
  • Judgement: The Highborn have come to Dawn to show us the Highborn Way in their words and deeds. We should rise to the challenge and send our best troubadours to teach them about Dawn. We send Mael Donjeon of House Remys with 50 doses of liao to urge every troubadour to travel to Highguard and teach them about glory and love.
  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (100 - 0). Enacted. Dawnish priests will travel through Highguard singing tales of adventure, of romance, of love and glory. This presents some significant potential for making the current situation worse.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 34

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Atushah i Fijadoz i Erigo
  • Judgement: The doctrine of the Way is not diminished by the parody of the Broken Wheel, precisely because it is a parody. What matters to the faithful is the beliefs people hold in the heart, not the practical jokes they play on their friends. We send Atushah i Fijadoz i Erigo with 50 doses of liao to reassure the Freeborn that there is no need for concern about the feast
  • Outcome: Not Upheld - Withdrawn (604 - 102). Withdrawn at the request of the raising priest.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 47

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Brother Hugh
  • Judgement: Neither the practice of shriving nor the belief that humans can be reborn in the bodies of trees or animals are directly contradicted by any part of the Doctrines of the Faith. We send Brother Hugh with 50 doses of liao to reassure Marcher citizens that their traditional customs and beliefs are an acceptable expression of the Way.
  • Outcome: Upheld (741 - 477). Enacted. The Synod agrees that the practice of shriving, and the belief that the soul can reincarnate as trees or animals is not against doctrine. The current penalty affecting congregations in that nation will end.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 50

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Constanza i Kalamar i Guerra
  • Judgement: The doctrine of the Way is not diminished by the parody of the Broken Wheel, precisely because it is a parody.

Judgement 51

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Amris Johan Merikovich
  • Judgement: Sovereigns are clearly inhuman entities, but the doctrines of the faith do not prohibit bargaining with them anymore than they prohibit bargaining with eternals or their heralds.

  • Outcome: Upheld (1234- 80). Enacted. The Synod agrees that making bargains with Sovereigns and eternals is not against doctrine. The current penalty affecting congregations in that nation will end.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 71

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Arhan of Ashenhall
  • Judgement: “To sleep in Kallavesa” is a metaphor that describes the heroes reward and interring the bodies of heroes in the Wintermark swamp is no different to the tombs and mausoleums of Highguard.

  • Outcome: Upheld (1261 - 71). Enacted. The Synod agrees that interring bodies in Sovennan is not against doctrine. The current penalty affecting congregations in that nation will end.

Judgement 73

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Aspar
  • Judgement: Although the Synod has not accepted that Sulemaine meets the criteria to be judged a paragon, it is clear that she taught and practised widely on the virtue of Wisdom. As such she cannot be regarded as a false paragon. We send Aspar with 50 doses of liao to acknowledge to Urizeni citizens that is it acceptable to call for any virtuous human to be recognised as a paragon.
  • Outcome: Upheld (763 - 251). Enacted. The Synod agrees that while Sulemaine is not a paragon, calling for her to be recognised as such is not against doctrine. The current penalty affecting congregations in that nation will end.

  • Judgement: It is better to live free than to die, or serve as a thrall. We send Mazo i Zabala i Erigo with 50 doses of liao to convince the people of the Coast to dig deep and support the defence of the Brass Coast. Let us commit every coin to the cause of our freedom!

Judgement 83

  • Assembly: Wintermark National
  • Raised By: Usko Argonning
  • Judgement: The Wintermark National Assembly condemn the cowardice of every denizen of Sermersuaq who put down their weapons before all hope of victory was lost. Those who lacked the cunning and the daring to fight with heroism against the Jotun should consider the damage to their skein. We send Usko Argonning to Sermersuaq with 25 doses of liao to urge those who fell short to become frayed.
  • Outcome: Not Upheld - Withdrawn (50 - 54). Withdrawn at request of raising priest.

Judgement 86

  • Assembly: Imperial Orc National
  • Raised By: Bloodcrow Udoo

  • Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (72 - 0). Enacted. Children of Mournwold orcs who wish to fight are encouraged to join the Imperial Orcs.
  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

Judgement 121

  • Assembly: Brass Coast National
  • Raised By: Efenia i Maristela i Riqueza

  • Outcome: Upheld (104 - 50). Enacted. Any Brass Coast fleet that engages in trade loses the equivalent of one rank of production for at least the next two seasons. Every captain on the Coast will redouble their efforts to show that privateering is not just daring and dangerous but bloody hard work!

  • Notes: The opportunity is detailed here

He acted to correct the previous failings of Senate and Synod and did so effectively and well. His pride in his actions is obvious and well-deserved.

Judgement 54

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Genoveva Barossa, Inquisitor of Pride
  • Judgement: Excommunication. Following on from the inquisition of Alderai at Winter 382, letters were found in his possession which demonstrate he was working with Wendigo. That he destroyed the Winterfolk/Jotun meeting place at Wendigo's behest, to damage relations with the Jotun and additionally that he was recruited by Wendigo to kill everyone at Oakwood Monastery, a sacred place of the Marchers, and to "defile" it. This coupled with his admitted cannibalism, and the vision of him being directed by a beast-like figure with horns and a rictus grin who revelled in the destruction, clearly shows that he was both a traitor and an idolator and that even having been killed, he richly deserves excommunication.

Over 70 captains, at great sacrifice and cost, commited their units to selfless bloody toil, and Prosperity demands that virtue be recognised and celebrated and held as example, and the Synod will distribute 35 Thrones as thanks and reward for this great deed.

Judgement 15

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Benedict Pacelli von Holberg
  • Judgement: The Ambition of Thomas and Eduard Dunlain was to create a team of runners from across the Empire to aid communication between nations travelling through the Sentinel Gate together. They believed this would save lives and improve our chances of victory. Though both have died in service to the Empire, the Synod awards twenty Thrones in recognition of their efforts and to support the creation of a sodality that will turn their Ambition into a lasting reality.

  • Judgement: Chauntecleer Words requests 50 Thrones, in order to realise a proposal from Fenoren - Grandmaster of the Sevenfold Path. The proposal is that the funds be set aside to purchase mithril, to then be used in the construction of a sinecure for the collection of mana entitles Sevenfold Virtue's Reward. The means to control said sinecure would be via Declaration of Candidacy within the Conclave. The Sevenfold Path would further ensure that each summit at least one mage was provided the mana to make a declaration, with the content of their speech containing the reasoning as to why their use of magic has been virtuous. In this manner the Sevenfold Path would seek to ensure not only are virtuous mages rewarded for their efforts, but done so visibly to inspire others; and perhaps most importantly that henceforth Conclave will each summit have at least one debate guaranteed to be focused on the virtuous use of magic.
  • Outcome: Upheld (512 - 405); 4 Thrones, 6 Crowns, 15 rings provided by the Tribune.

Judgement 32

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Brother Vashti

  • Outcome: Upheld (788 - 240); 7 rings provided by the Tribune.

Judgement 66

  • Assembly: General Assembly
  • Raised By: Violante i Abasdo i Riqueza
  • Judgement: Traders are now free to trade from the Bay without the penalties caused by the risk of Grendel piracy, because the fleet captains who dominated Catazar Bay have thrown the Grendel from our border for seasons to come. In their Loyalty to the Empire they set aside opportunities that would have increased their personal wealth, and set about damaging the Grendel shops instead. Their fleets are at half strength for two seasons hence keeping them from engaging in prosperous trade until Winter. I ask that their Loyalty and Courage be recognised with rewarding 50 Thrones to be split amongst all the captains.
