Overview
During the Autumn Equinox 386YE Summit, the Imperial Synod raised 216 judgements.
Veto
Mandate
Judgement 14
- Assembly: Urizen
- Raised By: Herminius of the House of the Wanderer
- Judgement: Be alert to all dangers; within and without. We send Herminius of the House of the Wanderer with 50 liao to encourage the Vigilant to watch for the evil that seeks to enter our lands. Let us thwart malice before it strikes against us.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (306-0)
- Enacted: Defends the borders of Morrow and Zenith, increasing the number of victory points required by the Druj to claim a beachhead, but also reduces taxation to the Imperial treasury by ten thrones. If a new Urizen territory gains a border with the Druj for some reason, the National Assembly can use the same mandate to ask the people of that nation to take up a new patrol. If a territory ceases to share a border with the Druj then the citizens will stop their patrols. As detailed in the You could be happy wind of fortune.
Judgement 23
- Assembly: Dawn
- Raised By: Earl Cerys de Rosier
- Judgement: Be alert to all dangers; within and without. We send Ser Tunic of the Barrens with 50 liao to encourage the Vigilant to watch for the evil that seeks to enter our lands. Let us thwart malice before it strikes against us.
- Outcome: Upheld (352-38)
- Enacted: Defends the border of the Barrens, increasing the number of victory points required by the Druj to claim a beachhead, but also reducing taxation to the Imperial treasury by five thrones. If a new Dawnish territory gains a border with the Druj for some reason, the National Assembly can use the same mandate to ask the people of that nation to take up a new patrol; if the Barrens ceases to share a border with the Druj then the citizens will stop their patrols. As detailed in the You could be happy wind of fortune.
Judgement 38
- Assembly: General
- Raised By: The Fool of Glory
- Judgement: The Virtuous face unwelcome truths. We send the Fool of Glory with 100 liao to reassure everyone that Vardas' story still contains important lessons about virtue. The virtuous apply what they have learned.
- Outcome: Not upheld (584-2502)
- Not enacted. Would have caused people to accept that the real purpose of paragons and exemplars is to teach people how to live a Virtuous life, so it ultimately doesn't matter if they are real or not. See the True faith wind of fortune.
Judgement 60
- Assembly: Highborn
- Raised By: Icarus of the Sepulchre of the Red Suns
- Judgement: There is no sacrifice so great that we cannot meet it to defeat this terror. We send Hazelelponi with 200 liao to urge every Highborn to prepare for the coming battle. No price is too high to realise our dreams.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (510-110); Margin 400
- Enacted: Commits the Highborn to fighting the vallorn. The grey pilgrims will stop walking the trods; the number of armies that the Highborn can support increases from three to four. In the seasons to come, there will be fewer opportunities like the recent proposal to convert the Asaveans; instead every effort will be made to find new opportunities to gain the upper hand in the struggle against the vallorn. As detailed in the Summer Solstice wind of fortune The final countdown.
Judgement 80
- Assembly: Varushka
- Raised By: Amris Johan Merikovich
- Judgement: Know your heart and what commands its devotion above all else. We send Amris Johann Merikovich with 50 liao to urge the Iron Helm to abandon cruelty and focus on the dark magics and curses of Varushka. Embrace your past; never be ashamed of it.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (342-0)
- Enacted. The Iron Helms cease to be cruel, and can no longer carry out merciless onslaughts or any similar orders designed to break the enemies will. Next season, they will gain the opportunity to embrace one or another new qualities that focus on dark magics and curses. As detailed in the You could be happy wind of fortune.
Judgement 81
- Assembly: League
- Raised By: Ortenzia di Sarvos
- Judgement: The greatest assets of the League are our ambition and ingenuity. We send Ortenzia di Sarvos with 50 liao to urge every citizen to commit everything to finding new ways to fight the vallorn. Even the most impenetrable forest may fall one tree at a time.
- Outcome: Upheld (272-16)
- Enacted: Commits the League to aid the Navarr in their fight against the vallorn, leading to one or more opportunities, and sets the tone for the League's participation in that campaign. For the next year, at least, no statement of principle raised by the League Assembly that calls on citizens to support another cause, be that civil or military, will produce an effect beyond Anvil. As detailed in the The Synod speaks wind of fortune.
Judgement 97
- Assembly: Marches
- Raised By: Grey Stone
- Judgement: Our mastery of farming is unsurpassed in the Empire, but we know our worth. We send Grey Stone with 50 doses of liao to urge the virtuous and prosperous farmers of the Marches to visit Mareave and see how the land there might be made green.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (272-16)
- Enacted. Persuades virtuous Marcher farmers to visit Mareave. Fewer pious farmers in the Marches applies a 1 rank penalty to every congregation in Mitwold and Upwold. The Marchers who travel to Mareave will present an opportunity to help build up agriculture there, but part of their opportunity would require they be repaid in some way for their efforts. As detailed in the We all stand wind of fortune.
Judgement 110
- Assembly: Freeborn
- Raised By: Annalaya del-Toro
- Judgement: The Freeborn are experts in drawing forth prosperity from arid lands. We send Maria I Espiri I Guerra with 75 doses of liao to ask Freeborn farmers to go to Mareave, to aid our friends in the Imperial orcs to make their lands flower.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (190-0)
- Enacted. Encourages Freeborn experts in dealing with the kind of conditions found in Mareave to travel there and see what aid they can offer in dealing with the arid conditions in the northern parts of the territory. Every congregation in the Brass Coast will experience a 1 rank penalty to production in the coming season, and the Freeborn farmers will expect suitable recompense before they put any solution into action. See the We all stand wind of fortune.
Judgement 122
- Assembly: Navarr
- Raised By: Oleander Ashwood
- Judgement: Be alert to all dangers; within and without. We send Oleander Ashwood with 50 liao to encourage the Vigilant to watch for the evil that seeks to enter our lands. Let us thwart malice before it strikes against us.
- Outcome: Upheld (306-10)
- Enacted: Defends the borders of Therunin, once the territory is reclaimed and assuming it is assigned to Navarr. This increases the number of victory points required by the Druj to claim a beachhead, and reduces taxation to the Imperial treasury by five thrones. If another Navarr territory gains a border with the Druj, the National Assembly could use the same mandate to ask the people of that nation to take up a new patrol; if a territory ceases to share a border with the Druj then the citizens will stop their patrols. As detailed in the You could be happy wind of fortune.
Judgement 131
- Assembly: Loyalty
- Raised By: Anastasiya Lukashovna Volkov
- Judgement: The virtuous lift up their fellows, they do not tear them down.

We send Anastasiya Lukashovna Volkov with 25 doses of liao to urge the Iron Helm to abandon cruelty and focus on the dark magics and curses of Varushka. Embrace your past; never be ashamed of it.
- Outcome: Upheld (384-6)
- Enacted: Directs the Eyes of Loyalty toward Judgement 80.
Judgement 138

- Judgement: It is the Empire's destiny to unite the world under the Way. We send Friar John of the Mourn with 25 doses of liao to urge every citizen to contribute what resources they can spare to support the creation of a new Holy City at Bastion. The road ahead is hard, but we are walking it together.
- Outcome: Upheld (86-10)
- Not Enacted: The events surrounding the paragon Vardas mean no new mandates will encourage anyone to support the Grand Inspiration of the Way in Bastion. As detailed in the True faith wind of fortune.
Judgement 156
- Assembly: Varushka
- Raised By: Vaclav Mladenovich Kosti
- Judgement: The greatest assets of Varushka are our Wisdom and resolve. We send Vaclav Mladenovich Kosti with 50 liao to urge every Varushkan to use our knowledge of the dark powers to choose the lesser of two evils. The virtuous apply what they have learned.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (280-12)
- Enacted: Commits Varushka to aid the Navarr in their fight against the vallorn, leading to one or more opportunities, and sets the tone for Varushka's participation in that campaign.

As detailed in the You could be happy wind of fortune.
Judgement 211
- Assembly: Imperial Orcs
- Raised By: Bloodcrow Pip
- Judgement: We are a nation, woven from six strong strands. Each sept has its own expertise, that will help us show the people of Mareave we are not their enemies. We send Skywise Tulva with 25 doses of liao to urge the Illarawm to seek ways we can make Mareave a home for our people by approaching the Brine Turtles peacefully and open negotiations. The Brine Turtles are now foreigners; let us in common pride of Mareave move forwards together.

The following considerations should be borne in mind when bringing judgements before the Imperial Synod during the Autumn 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 |
| All Assemblies | Statements that stress the need to follow Imperial law rather than virtue will be unlikely to lead to a mandate. | Knocking on every door. | Ongoing |
