Judgement 162

• Assembly: Pride

• Judgement: Following the commission of the Orchard of the Watch, we the Pride assembly call upon the artists, artisans and the proud folk of the Empire to aid its construction. The Orchard is a memorial, constructed in the ruins of Overton, to honour those that died during the liberation of the Mournwold. Myriad spirits still haunt those lands, restless and yearning to be remembered. Let us construct a memorial that will stand the test of time, and show that the Empire will not let these people be forgotten. Pride tells us to embrace the past, be it the horrific choices that cost lives or the sacrifices of heroic souls. Let this memorial be our testament to that,

Revocation

The following judgements of revocation were raised during the summit.

Judgement 11

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Lady Josephine of Adina's Charge
• Judgement: I call for the Revocation of Senator Bohemond de Rondell. His relentless pursuit of the conquest of the Barrens for Dawn, and only Dawn, has destroyed the Empire's reputation and cause those we could have brought into the Empire to see us as nothing more than human Druj. He has shamed his national assembly who said they came as liberators. He claims this is all for his Ambition, but if the cost of that ambition is the Empire's honour and integrity then it is not a price we should, or have, to pay. He says he does these things for the good of the Empire, but only a Fool or a Liar would think our standing on the international stage and the souls we could have saved was a worthy trade. Neither of those should be a senator.
• Outcome: Upheld (1898-484); Margin of 1414

Judgement 63

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Konstantin Rabovich Bolotnikov
• Judgement: Xanthius, Guildmaster of Artisans. While their decision to assist the slavers of Jarm in their war against our Commonwealth allies disgusts me, I call for revocation due to the unprosperous way they intend to fulfil this order. The guild will profit 70 thrones and yet they intend to pay 2 crowns for each item made. 2 thrones to the hardworking artisans. 48 thrones to the Guildmaster!
• Outcome: Withdrawn, Not Upheld (1150-108); Margin of 1042

Judgement 187

• Assembly: Prosperity
• Raised By: Darian Numbers
• Judgement: Seeks the revocation of Hew Farrier for acting in apparent hate during the inquisition. His words and actions where clearly designed to drive division and to sow hatred amongst the Marches.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (230-0)

Challenge

The following judgement of challenge was raised during the summit

Judgement 203

• Assembly: Prosperity
• Raised By: Soratio i Del'toro
• Judgement: Challenging Vivenne Knotes for the position of Prelate of the Little Mother. They have presented no justification for their suitability, and the cardinal - their housemate - acted to ensure the position wasn't debated. A proper debate next season - rather than a last minute block vote by a single house, will ensure legitimacy
• Outcome: Upheld (92-84); Margin of 8

Inquisition

The following judgements of inquisition were raised during the summit.

Judgement 25

• Assembly: Way
• Raised By: Morwenna Witheredrose
• Judgement: Last season a knight asked me to hold a knife to their nations throat and in doing so curb the cruellest impulses of Dawn. This season I hand them the blade so they may hold a superior office to account. Vesna Prochnost is called to inquisition on the Saturday of this summit at the Vates Claw Camp, at a reasonable time of her own convenience. The inquisiting priest will be Tunic of the Barrens, with assistance from Morwenna Witheredrose. Discussion will involve foreign policy, and our treatment of potential converts.
• Outcome: Upheld (82-0)

Judgement 53

• Assembly: Freeborn
• Raised By: Azir i Shartha i Riqueza
• Judgement: At the behest of Hakima Khan i Erigo and others, I call Ramos i Inigo i Riqueza to Inquisition to discuss their actions around their bid for custodianship of the Red Depths, and threats of violence made against other members of the Dhomiro Council at Anvil. The Inquisition is to be held at a time TBC (subject to skirmish timetables) Saturday afternoon, at the Taziel camp.
• Outcome: Upheld (36-0)

Judgement 56

• Assembly: Wisdom
• Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
• Judgement: Five seasons have passed and now Aspar wishes to walk a new Path. I call the Cardinal, while that is still his title, to Inquisition. May he face the Wise One and tell me what he has learned during his time as Cardinal. Let us weigh his Wisdom upon the scales. 12:00 Hearth and Honey. Witness if you wish.
• Outcome: Upheld (230-0)

• Raised By: Halwyn Splitroot

• Outcome: Upheld (246-10); Margin of 236
• Note: Names were added to the reverse of the judgement

Judgement 76

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Kellin Embercast
• Judgement: Aerowen Embercast is uncertain of her own Virtue. There seem to be countless other people who are more certain, one way or another. This is causing growing issues across our nation. I call Aerowen to inquisition at 2pm on Saturday, at her own camp. We will discuss virtue, and ensure that her sense of Loyalty is satisfied.
• Outcome: Upheld (166-0)

Judgement 77

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Kellin Embercast
• Judgement: "Even the strongest may err, but deceivers will lie again." Rhisiart Dancewalker is a prominent figure in Navarr. A senator for three years, a General for one; his voice carries sway. However, I am not convinced that he knows what commands his heart's devotion. I believe he is conflicted, uncertain whether the bond with his banner outweighs his oaths to Navarr and the Empire. A general's heart cannot afford such a division; An Inquisitor's mind cannot abide to see this go unquestioned. I call Rhisiart Dancewalker to Inquisition on Saturday at 7:00pm, at Mhorish, where we will discuss the truth of his Loyalty.
• Outcome: Upheld (158-0)

Judgement 107

Alric, coven leader of the Starlit Council, has performed research into Night Eternal under Enmity, the Whisper Gallery, in agreement with the Archmage of Night past and present. Wisdom knows all knowledge is incomplete, but this should not risk the souls of Imperial citizens to complete said knowledge. The inquisition aims to find if the research is of value with all risks considered to be held Autumn Equinox 386YE.
• Outcome: Upheld (228-0)

Judgement 141

• Assembly: Dawnish
• Raised By: Galahad Avolcia
• Judgement: To those who would shirk their virtue, conscience appears as tyranny. Valentin Orzel has challenged the Pride of all members of Dawn's National Assembly, labelling us "Political Zealots". I call him to inquisition alone after battle on Sunday, so that we may begin to heal the rift in our nation. If he is truly virtuous, let him prove it
• Outcome: Upheld (174-0)

Judgement 143

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Sebastiano

Sanction

The following judgements of sanction were raised during the summit.

Judgement 23

• Assembly: Way
• Raised By: Morwenna Witheredrose
• Judgement: (Vindication) After much deliberation the Inquisitorial Court believes Sadogua has performed numerous virtuous deeds, but we cannot be sure if those deeds were deliberate and prosperous choices, or the product of his essential magical nature. We therefore challenge Sadogua to undertake a pilgrimage of spirit, and prove he can change his nature through deliberate and virtuous choice. If successful his case for Exemplardom will be incredibly strong. Should he require assistance in this task the Sevenfold Path of course stands ready to offer guidance.
• Outcome: Upheld (200-42); Margin of 158

Judgement 24

• Assembly: Way
• Raised By: Morwenna Witheredrose
• Judgement: (Vindication) Mud, rain, and a half dozen other fuck-ups have this vindication arriving seasons late with sincere apologies to Claudia Remys. Her only failing is that she allows the judgement of others to dull her own Pride. Of course people act weird around successful winter mages, few comprehend the realm properly and assume its foremost practitioners in some way foul. It is our job as more enlightened pilgrims to sing of our successes anyway, and in defiance of such pretenders find transcendent pride.
• Outcome: Upheld (154-0)

Judgement 45

• Assembly: Marcher
• Raised By: Sam Wych
• Judgement: (Penance) As you sow you shall reap. Brother Harvest. You have a year to redeem your evil ways. Accused Idolator and Murderer. A year in which you must reject hospitality. Refuse rest in spare rooms, church halls, and lofty barns. Stay vigilant outside, till you learn - what lesson? You shall know when you know. And when you have answered correctly, I will free you from this penance. If you do not have the answer in a year your throat will be cut and your blood will feed the next harvest.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (194-0)

Judgement 50

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Sam Wych
• Judgement: (Penance) I charge Fintan with dedicating his full focus to his true ambition, to share the wisdom, encourage discussion and the promotion of the Way across the Empire. He must spend the next year ensuring the New Scions is a robust, vigilant organisation aware of the damage it has the potential to cause and equipped to forestall it. This must be done without an Imperial position. It is not my belief that his testimony is due to any failing on Virtue on his part. His journey has only just begun to the great legacy he will leave behind.
• Outcome: Upheld (158-66); Margin of 92

Judgement 54

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Luca i Taziel i Riqueza
• Judgement: (Vindication) It cannot be said that Constanzi i Kalamar i Guerra is without Pride, and does not seek to inspire it in others. At her best, she is a testimony of Virtue, and (as well as this Prosperity can tell) lives and breathes it. But we are not always at our best. Sometimes it is hard to untangle the Virtue from the politics, politics which in this case have long since passed the point of being sleeping dogs who need to lie. But, during her inquisition when discussing what had happened in elections long gone, I believe her actions spoke to her. They spoke of a distance, between Constanza at her best and Constanza as she has acted. The Labyrinth can forgive a mistake, as long as it is one we learn from, and I trust it is a lesson she will carry forward as she and her Assembly move on, whatever those next steps may be. A formal Penance is unwarranted, Constanza reach her own verdict within the Inquisition. It is up to her to live up to her best.
• Outcome: Upheld (962-32); Margin of 930

Judgement 108

• Assembly: Prosperity
• Raised By: Luca i Taziel i Riqueza
• Judgement: (Vindication) Having spoken to debtor and debtee alike I can find no failing of Prosperity in the deal between Freeborn senators and Words, Numbers, Figures, Knots, and Deeds. All met in trust and good faith.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (238-0)

Judgement 128

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Lenarius Ankarien
• Judgement: (Condemnation) Belial of Ebon's Hold has admitted to excommunicating an Imperial citizen in an act of retribution (They confessed to me as Imperial Inquisitor). While they were motivated by Loyalty to their fellows, and not fully aware of the implications of their actions, this is still an abuse of priestly powers.
• Outcome: Upheld (1058-30); Margin of 1028

Judgement 144

• Assembly: Varushkan
• Raised By: Yevanshka
• Judgement: (Penance) Following Sławomir's inquisition into Desilav, the senator for Volodmartz in Winter 385, he finds that although Desilav is clear in his selfless need to do what is necessary to protect Varushka, he is failing dramatically in the understanding and enacting of the Empire's ultimate destiny. To cede land permanently subverts the purpose of the Way to encompass all of creation. He is committing Senate to make an oath they cannot keep, putting everyone at risk. I declare his penance to be a freezing brand to ensure he does not forget this lesson and aiding those who have been freed by the Empire's expansion, so he does not forget why the Empire strives forwards. Should he fail to uphold this, a stronger curse shall be called down and his revocation put before Varushka NA.
• Outcome: Upheld (86-12); Margin of 74

Judgement 158

• Assembly: Dawnish
• Raised By: Earl of Fools
• Judgement: (Penance) Dame Aurum, a rift has been formed thus a rift must be healed. Two tales lay before you; you must choose. Villany with Aura, perhaps of hate or Virtuous would be hero of Dawn. For a year you must choose and convince me.
• Outcome: Upheld (160-0)

Judgement 160

• Assembly: Way
• Raised By: Morwenna Witheredrose
• Judgement: (Castigation) While facilitating the inquisition run by Tunic of the Barrens I asked Vesna to choose between enlightenment for the world and the Empire. She chose the Empire. This, along with an uninspiring commitment to the "virtue of the hearth" over every other kind of virtue, speaks to a lack of conviction and a mediocrity of faith. The Empire serves virtue, not the other way around. The Way assembly calls on the throne to remember this, striving for enlightenment for all, not a scant Imperial minority.
• Outcome: Not Upheld (124-124)
• Notes: Custodian of Virtue was used on this judgement

Judgement 179

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Rinnah of the Shattered Tower
• Judgement: (Vindication) Following the revocation of Acseh of the Sentinels Tower as general after blind faith and a lapse in virtue led to her dedication to purity she volunteered to undertake penance. Under the guidance of Keziah of the Suns of Couros she has undertaken acts of penance, pilgrimage, and study. For the last year she has worked tirelessly so she can never be led astray again. Veikko Bondforger and I inquisited her in Winter 385 as to her rehabilitation and penance and she is no more a risk to virtue then any other Imperial citizen. The loyal raise each other up.
• Outcome: Upheld (204-46); Margin of 158

Judgement 192

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Ardens of the Wanderer
• Judgement: (Vindication) After inquisiting Elagabala, it is my considered view that she is truly a virtuous soul, who would be a strong Grandmaster of the Sevenfold Path in the future. Should she gain the role, I would ask that she concentrate on developing the tools the Order needs to protect magician's souls and how to leverage the Synod to this goal.
• Outcome: Upheld (98-24); Margin of 74

Judgement 193

• Assembly: Freeborn
• Raised By: Azir i Shartha
• Judgement: (Castigation) Ramos took a contingent of kohan and marched on the dhomiro's meeting with the intention of killing some or all of the participants. Only the courage of those barring the way whilst the situation was deescalated prevented a massacre. A defence of vigilance is undermined by a lack of credible evidence presented regarding any potential threat. A defence of wisdom is undermined by the fact that neither Ramos nor any under their command knew which individuals within presented that threat. A defence of loyalty is undermined by the fact that several of those that may be slain were those with whom Ramos claims to share a bond. I fund this action wholly unvirtuous. Wholesale violence against our own has no place in Freeborn affairs.
• Outcome: Upheld (80-18); Margin of 62

Judgement 195

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Kellin Embercast
• Judgement: (Penance) Rhisiart Dancewalker attended inquisition in the company of his thornborn, and seemed to be wholly convinced of his heart's loyalty to Navarr. He made it clear that he does not see a distinction between Blackscar, Navarr, and the Empire. I commend his dedication to his kin, and theirs to him. However, in this time of great change for Navarr, I feel that he needs to consider the distinction between family, banner, nation, and Empire. I ask him to consult a priest of every nation on this matter, and report his findings to me before next summer's summit.
• Outcome: Upheld (230-0)

Judgement 196

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Kellin Embercast
• Judgement: (Penance) Aerowen Embercast displays her virtue openly, but clearly struggles with Pride. She should remember that her striding cares for her deeply, and that she needs to open her heart to them. I ask her to spend some time with a guide of Pride before the year is out, to hear their advice on kindling her own pride, and to report her findings to me once per season for the next year.
• Outcome: Upheld (159-0)

Judgement 198

• Assembly: Marcher
• Raised By: Father Edmund
• Judgement: (Vindication) Amberlain is a most Virtuous citizen, and her Loyalty to the Marches could not be more clear. Wherever she has fought she has sown Inspiration, and reaped victory for the Empire. I have recognised her Loyalty with a testimony of "Devoted Marcher", but she deserves far more. Bregasland Stands!
• Outcome: Upheld (146-0)
• Notes: The greater majority for this judgement was 159

Judgement 204

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Lenarius Ankarien
• Judgement: (Penance) As Imperial Inquisitior, in the case of Finna of the Brass Coast I find the accusation that they have used excommunication inappropriately to be false. Despise some confusion over the exact effects it was a desperate situation and an attempt to deal with cursed Imperials who were close to death. Finna's attitude towards excommunication however is dangerously blasé and risks inspiring unvirtuous behaviour. As penance Finna must refrain from jokes, threats, or frivolous suggestions regarding the rite. Also they must stop tormenting Daigon of the Brass Coast.
• Outcome: Upheld (598-52); Margin of 546

Recognition

The following judgements of recognition were raised during the summit.

Judgement 4

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Rafael Barossa d'Apulian
• Judgement: We recognise Amika Acciai, sixth child of the House of Steel, as an Exemplar of Ambition. He reached out to Rafael Barossa d'Apulian, seeking help with his goal to "engulf Asavea in a firestorm of change". Pilgrimage:Amika travelled to the Temple of the Way in Nemoria and studied there under Sumaash and Imperial priests. Benevolence: Amika turned his family estate into a safe haven for followers of the Way fleeing persecution by the Plenum. Salvation: Amika freed his family's slaves and taught them the Way. These pilgrims infiltrated other estates and spread the Way to the slaves there. Amika led the attack on the Tarquinius family estate, killing the oppressors there and giving his life for the cause. Inspiration: Amika's death inspired his cousin Alberto, who led the attack on the city of Marlien that freed all the slaves there, and started the wave of unrest that is currently crashing across Asavea.
• Outcome: Upheld (1610-162); Margin of 1438
• Notes: Amika Acciai will be added to the list of known exemplars

Judgement 5

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Eevi of the Gadrai
• Judgement: Dogri Thulebane is an Exemplar of Loyalty. The signs are clear. Inspiration: Dogri's words inspired more than 200 fighters to stand with him in defence of Crow's Keep and Skarsind. in 385YE Spring, Dogri's story was added to Wintermark's Chronicle of Heroism as a national inspiration. Benevolence: Dogri opened Crow's Keep to all Skarsind winterfolk who did not want to leave. When the battle of Crow's Keep was lost, he ordered his followers to escape with their lives rather than lead them to their death. Miracle: Upon his death, a spontaneous aura of Loyalty manifested on the amulet he was wearing with no intervention from practitioners of Liao ceremonies. Legacy: Crow's Ridge is the region where Crow's Keep is found. After Dogri's stand, Crow's Ridge was taken by the Thule but the scars of Thulebane remain. Crow's Ridge is Dogri's legacy and for that legacy we have been granted an opportunity in 385YE Sumer to create an inspirational tomb for him, in his final resting place; the Sovevann, Kallavesa with true liao
• Outcome: Upheld (1751-464); Margin of 1287
• Notes: Dogri Thulebane will be added to the list of known exemplars

Judgement 19

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Sufyan i Zuhri i Erigo
• Judgement: We recognise Alberto Acciai, Martyr of Marilen, as an Exemplar of Loyalty, with the following signs: Benevolence: Inspired by his cousin Amika, Alberto led a rebellion of slaves in the mines surrounding Marilen. Alberto was a vintner, and freed these slaves solely in pursuit of Virtue rather than riches. Inspiration: After the rebellion, Alberto led the liberated miners to the city of Marilen, where they took over the city and slew its rulers, resolving to destroy the two coming armies of the Plenum in Virtue. Salvation: In freeing these slaves, Albero was able to teach them and the people of Marilen the Way of Virtue and the use of liao, spreading our shared faith across the oppressed of the Archipelago. Legacy: Based on correspondence with Rafael Barossa d'Apulian, we know that Alberto could have fled. Instead, out of Loyalty to those he had freed, he gave his life to ignite Virtue across Asavea.
• Outcome: Not Upheld (288-68); Margin of 220
• Notes: A judgement of recognition in a Virtue Assembly requires a greater majority to be upheld.

Judgement 62

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Maurice
• Judgement: This judgement seeks to recognise the exemplarhood of Persephone Sage-Fletcher, Captain of the Harpy-Eagles. In an act of inspiration, she founded this brotherhood of archers, promoting solidarity and esprit de corps, both internally and with the archers of other nations. In benevolence, she did not profit from so doing, but strove instead to uplift her comrades. Whenver one marches to safeguard one's comrades, that is a pilgrimage of loyalty. The Harpy-Eagles marched often, and she stood with her comrades every time. In Broceliande she died, fighting in the army's rearguard to buy time for the wounded to be seen to safety. She has a legacy of unity: in her name, houses Orzel, Tallstag, Mortere, Griffinsong, Renard, Summerstrong and many others marched on Broceliande, putting the vallorn to the sword and bringing back her body.
• Outcome: Not Upheld (186-124); Margin of 62
• Notes: A judgement of recognition in a Virtue Assembly requires a greater majority to be upheld.

Judgement 142

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Rinnah
• Judgement: Doctor Tolame as demonstrated signs of Exemplar: Inspiration: Tolame helped anyone in need of healing and provided guidance on and off the battlefield, teaching me and others the art of healing. Pilgrimage: Tolame started learning how the way impacted his belief in the way, especially loyalty, upon his return home Tolame was dedicated to loyalty and started to learn how to heal the bodies and souls as a priest. Legacy: Doctor Tolame established the ministry hospital in Sybella Cross bastion which provides herbs to the Anvil Hospital needed for treatment. Benevolence: Doctor Tolame saved souls that were ensnared by the whispering gallery by making a deal, knowing he would be sentenced as a sorcerer, after the souls were released, Tolame made sure that the souls passed safely into the labyrinth. In conclusion, I firmly believe Doctor Tolame is indeed an exemplar of Loyalty.
• Outcome: Not Upheld (176-54); Margin of 122
• Notes: A judgement of recognition in a Virtue Assembly requires a greater majority to be upheld.

Rewarding

The following judgements of rewarding were sought during the summit.

Judgement 19

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Rafael Barossa d'Apulian
• Judgement: Silver Tongue of Virtue is a Night ritual created by Nathair Autumngale that swells Congregations by encouraging the passion of its members. It is a valuable tool in spreading the Way. Rafael Barossa d'Apulian had this ritual codified in the Loom of Spells at an equivalent cost of 5 Thrones and 10 rings, and then paid the 10 Thrones to have it entered into Imperial Lore so Virtuous magicians could master it and easily cast it on willing priests. We reward Rafael Barossa d'Apulian 15 for these actions.
• Outcome: Upheld (1038-256); Margin of 782
• Notes: Silver Tongue of Virtue is a Night ritual that affects congregations

Judgement 47

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Eska Harakkadottir
• Judgement: I request a rewarding of 6 thrones from the virtue fund to be given to Merolf, Captain of the Militia, for dispersal to those in the militia who worked on the Brighteyes case (investigating and making arests following the Netherwatch coven's casting of Bright Eyes Gleam in the Depths). This enormous undertaking was diligently performed with Vigilance, Courage, and Ambition, proving the miltia are a credit to the Empire. It must be noted, the militia are not paid for their services. This is an embarrassment to the Empire's Pride and Prosperity. Let this be the first step in correcting this oversight.
• Outcome: Upheld (845-264); Margin of 581

Judgement 61

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Albrecht von Holberg
• Judgement: It is prosperous both that no magic should go unused, and that the deserving should be rewarded with all that is worthwhile. The Summah Republic have requested access to two rituals in Imperial Lore, both of which enhance fortifications, to aid them in the ongoing war against the institution of slavery. To create these ritual texts to be shared, the sum of ten thrones each is required. The Synod awards Albrecht von Holberg of the Temple of Nine Fingers ten thrones to assist in funding the dissemination of the requested ritual texts.
• Outcome: Upheld (1068-246); Margin of 822

Judgement 66

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Sebastiano
• Judgement: When the Cold Sun threatened his people Ostrik Vulpe, last Keeper of Berislav's Rest, drew a line in the snow. He sacrificed coin, mana, blood, and f finally the mines and title to Berislav's Rest. Through these actions was the Cold Sun army The Shepherds of Ash destroyed. Let there be no mistake, this was an act of great virtue, one that has gone unheralded. But the Synod should recognise the sacrifice of a valuable tenured sinecure for the good of the Empire. Let us reward Ostrike Vulpe with 20 thrones to account for the loss in income, coin and mana. Let me be an example to all.
• Outcome: Upheld (596-340); Margin of 256

Judgement 78

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Khan i Erigo
• Judgement: While fighting in the service of the High Exorcist, Kohan Gael i Guerra and Liovani i Erigo demonstrated loyalty in using their personal resources to ransom fellow citizens from an overwhelming opponent. I propose they each be reimbursed 1 throne to compensate them for this expense. 2 thrones total.
• Outcome: Upheld (1090-96); Margin of 994

Judgement 132

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Iniska Ashwood
• Judgement: I seek a rewarding of ten thrones for Corwyn Spear of the Seven. In fighting the Cold Sun he has led skirmishes, paying out of his own pocket for rituals, supporting those who went on the skirmishes and led the defence of those who repaired the trods damaged by the Cold Sun. His Loyalty to the Navarr and the Empire is clear.
• Outcome: Upheld (574-158); Margin of 416

Judgement 148

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Rhisiart Dancewalker
• Judgement: Virtue requires action, action requires courage. A hero has a name, Fintan Nighthaven. Fintan worked tirelessly to secure the relic of Brawnwatch, showing courage, vigilance, and ambition. But action requires prosperity, so deserves recognition and rewarding. Brawnwatch cost twenty thrones, to be recovered from the the Axiou, so twenty thrones is sought for his virtue.
• Outcome: Upheld (702-198); Margin of 504

Special Considerations

The following considerations should be borne in mind when bringing judgements before the Imperial Synod during the Spring Equinox.

Assembly	Consideration	Link	Duration
All Assemblies	Statements that prioritise the greater good over personal loyalties are less effective.	Eyes of Loyalty	Ongoing
All Assemblies	Statements that try to compel Loyalty will fail.	Eyes of Loyalty	Ongoing
All Assemblies	Revocations and Excommunications for disloyalty to the nation or Empire risk causing dissent.	Eyes of Loyalty	Ongoing
All Assemblies	Any mandate that does not pass with a greater majority will have limited or no effect on Urizen or Varushka. It is not impossible that a mandate might lead to a response in one of the two nations, but it won't lead to any immediate consequences for the people of the nation.	Urizen Link, Varushka Link.	Ongoing

Alternative Mandates

Prior to the summit, the following alternative mandates were proposed by members of the Synod.
