Change of Doctrine

one changes of doctrine were presented to the General Assembly during the Spring Equinox

Judgement 97

Assembly: General
Raised By: Tom Keeper of Copperhill
Judgement: Remove the Doctrine of the Creator. "The Creator", we claim one but is this proven? Can you prove this if challenged as another Vardas, a work of fiction? "Seeks no control, dominion or communication". All attempts fail, some harmfully, but is not a refusal to speak potentially a form of control or dominion? Should the vigilant ignore claims of Axos, that the Creator is a threat.
Outcome: Not Upheld (120-952)

Statement of Principle

One hundred and one statements of principle were presented to the assemblies during the Spring Equinox

Judgement 11

Assembly: Loyalty
Raised By: Dagon of the Shattered Tower
Judgement: Loyalty is displayed not by words or deeds alone, but by the unity of both. The Faraden have asked for us to join them in preaching to their citizens, we must rise to the occasion and in Loyalty we will help build them up and stand strong. We must take action and work together in resisting the deplorable influence of Asavea. The chains of Loyalty reach across borders and together we will show the Plenum just how strong those chains truly are.
Outcome: Upheld (322-28)
Notes: Endorses members of the Synod visiting Faraden to preach Loyalty, as per the A pillow of winds wind of fortune

Judgement 16

Assembly: Courage
Raised By: Damascius
Judgement: The Assembly of Courage calls on priests of our path to join in pilgrimage to Faraden, there to preach Courage to those Virtuous souls we find there. We must bolster our cousins who have found - or are ready to find - True Virtue in Faraden as they face the insidious lies of Asavean heretics. Every soul set upon the Paths of Virtue is our victory!
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (218-18)
Notes: Endorses members of the Synod visiting Faraden to preach Courage, as per the A pillow of winds wind of fortune

Judgement 42

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: Lenore Hearthweaver
Judgement: Kaisa Denmother, thane of the Fellowship of the Broken Willows should have her name added to the Chronicle of Heroes. She earned her name, taking in many wanderers from all traditions, even nations, and gave them a home. Ambition thrives in the pursuit of the betterment of oneself, and Denmother selflessly extends that through the encouragement and betterment of others. When the Oathwright reported lies about Helgunn Chargebringer, Denmother wasted no time in seeking council from the Stormscrows. She acted with wisdom before taking ambitious action to call on the Wolves of the Pale Raven. Those cold words could not compromise her conviction. Denmother's perseverance through hardship is like no other. Despite losing multiple hallmates in one battle, her strength bore her through the pain of loss. As a thane and grminir, keeping a strong heart is just as important as any warrior's victory. She is a true hero and inspiration to all!
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (228-20)

Judgement 61

Assembly: Pride
Raised By: Kaywenn de Orzel
Judgement: Do not be complacent; ever stride for excellence in that of which you are Proud. We cannot be complacent in spreading the Way, and preaching Pride to the citizens of Faraden. We send priests of the Assembly to support these efforts, to bring the light of the Way to all.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (236-10)
Notes: Endorses members of the Synod visiting Faraden to preach Pride, as per the A pillow of winds wind of fortune

Judgement 78

Assembly: Prosperity
Raised By: Darian Numbers
Judgement: The Prosperity Assembly should support Faraden attempts to resist Asavean preaching. Their cleaving to vengeance may be heretical for those that follow that path, but they're closer to the true Way now than they would be if the Asavean Idolators get a grip on their theology. Not one step back, even if it means the next step forward is harder.
Outcome: Upheld (292-20)
Notes: Endorses members of the Synod visiting Faraden to preach Prosperity, as per the A pillow of winds wind of fortune

Revocation

Judgement 26

Assembly: General
Raised By: Emmeline Weaver
Judgement: I have had it up to here with these fucking careless Generals: General Rhisiart Dancewalker of the Black Thorns is also culpable for our tragic losses in Therunin. As a commander with two years experience, he should have damn well read the scrying reports that are ON THE BOARD IN THE MILITARY COUNCIL TENT for fuck's sake, instead of listening to hearsay and rumour from Zoran Orzel about the strength and location of the Druj armies. I believe this colossal failure of Vigilance poses a continuing threat to our war readiness, and I call for his revocation, as I will for any Imperial General who can't walk six feet to do their bloody homework before they put their orders in.
Outcome: Upheld (1068-278)

Judgement 176

Assembly: Urizen
Raised By: Catena
Judgement: Due to the surprising and poorly attended nature of the Warmage election, this assembly revokes Octavius of the Wise Citadel. Such that the election can be run at its more expected time.
Outcome: Withdrawn

Inquisition

Twenty one inquisitions were presented to the assemblies during the Spring Equinox

Judgement 14

Assembly: General
Raised By: Galachin Garlot
Judgement: I call Frater Pontius of the Emberclad to inquisition. During the Winter Summit of 387 - Frater Pontius provided clemency defenses to many of the Imperial Captains who had pledged their soldiers to the illegal orders General Archavion in the Barrens. It is my understanding that none of the clemency defenses were successful in sparing the lives of the accused. Since none of these virtue arguments appeared to be compelling and all were ultimately condemned to death. I thereby call Pontius of the Emberclad to inquisition to examine his reasoning and motivation in offering and delivering his defense of the guilty in this case. Inquisition to be held at 10PM Friday Night (location to be arranged with the named)
Outcome: Upheld (218-16)

Judgement 17

Assembly: General
Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
Judgement: Gancio, and by extension the Golden Chalice. The reviews are in - it is a hit. Audiences are enamoured by your lurid claims of alternate histories. It is time for the critics to see what virtue there is in the truths you claim to spread. The play begins at 7PM at the Peacock Theatre. The work begins after the interval.
Outcome: Upheld Automatically as Inquisitor of Wisdom

Judgement 19

Assembly: General
Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost

Outcome: Upheld Automatically as Inquisitor of Courage

Judgement 77

Assembly: Vigilance
Raised By: Frater Pontius of the Emberclad
Judgement: Vigilance does not wait for the blow to fall. It watches the hand that lifts the blade. The Archmage of Winter, Ematius Ankarian, has trafficked with the eternal Skathe, she who is the Doom of Sarvos, whose very nature is unalloyed malice. When one who bears such authority walks in shadowed company the unblinking eye of the basilisk must turn upon them. We therefore summon Archmage Ematius Ankarian, to Inquisition. We are given to understand that on the Saturday night of this summit, we will once more consort with that same foul eternal. Accordingly, the inquisition shall be held on the following day, Sunday at noon. The inquisition shall be convened at Ebon's Hall, in the Highborn encampment. It shall be presided over by Frater Pontius of the Emberclad, with the assistance of Earl Edmund Reaver, and the counsel of both the Inquisitor of this Assembly and the Arcane Inquisitor

Sanction

Nineteen sanctions were presented to the assemblies during the Spring Equinox

Judgement 21

Assembly: Wisdom
Raised By: Kalina Jadwigowna Piosnkowa Prochnost
Judgement - Vindication: Dag Kinnad. You have served your assembly well. You have learned well the lessons from your inquisiting and wish to perform further investigations in to the Wisdom of your fellows. Good. Keep up the good work.
Outcome: Upheld (238-16)

Judgement 35

Assembly: Pride
Raised By: Olyvar of Esther's Sanctum
Judgement - Castigation: Following the inquisition raised at the Summer Solstice 386YE (205), I castigate Vasili of the Woven Path for knowingly undertaking a past life vision with a potential aura of Anarchy. This endangered both you and your guide priest, and drew Labyrinth spectres to you. Let this be a lesson - you have faced the consequences of your actions, you stepped off the road. Do better.
Outcome: Upheld (50-0)

Judgement 44

Assembly: Vigilance
Raised By: Brother Geoffrey Orchard
Judgement - Penance: Half the responsibility of the Shadowed Torchbearer is "to serve as a go-between for (Janon) and the Conclave as they need it.". The Regalia of the Torchbearer includes no means to send messages to Janon - though such boons are known to exist. Vanja Oddsbreaker was involved in negotiating the creation of this office before being elected to it - and so has put herself in the impossible position of being a go-between without the means to convey messages from Conclave to Janon unless Janon opts to send Heralds, which it often does not. For this lapse of Vigilance, I suggest this penance: that Vanja seek the means to amend the Regalia of the office, that it may include such boons as require to actually perform the role of go-between. Let her be the last Torchbearer to deal with this absurdity. For more details see the 2-page leaflet (copes on opposite wall) "Vanya Oddsbreaker Inquisition Report".
Outcome: Upheld (320-20)

Judgement 49

Assembly: Vigilance
Raised By: Alastair of Esther's Sanctum
Judgement - Castigation: Following the inquisition of Sam Wych-Elm at the Autumn Equinox 386YE, I formally rebuke them for encouraging the behaviour of Hugh Farrier that auras of Hatred were produced at this inquisition. Sam Wych refused to take this case of false virtue seriously because it was their friend involved, and encouraged and abetted their behaviour. Be aware to all dangers, within and without.
Outcome: Withdrawn

Judgement 51

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Aemon
Judgement - Castigation: Jack "Twice Drowned" has been inquisited. His Virtue has been weighed, it has been measured, and it has been found wanting! During inquisition he was unrepentant of his words and actions culminating in a public insistence that Achseh is a Hate cultist; contracting and subverting the Judgement of the Loyalty Assembly (Judgement 179, Summer 386YE), a fact that was a key factor which influenced and led to the fracturing of Highguard's forces. Penance: 1) Jack will carry an item on him with the Hallowing of the Favour that he may use, when needed, to support him in trying to heal the division in Highugard he once helped widen. 2) Jack will feel the cost of his words. He will be subject to a Freezing Brand of Irremais stating "I thought I knew better than the Synod".
Outcome: Upheld (196-190)

Judgement 82

Assembly: General
Raised By: Earl of Fools
Judgement: The former spymaster Dugdale with great aplomb did stand before Empire and did accuse the Throne of crimes heinous; collaboration with traitor general in illegal massacre in Barrens then of darkest crimes did accuse the Throne a claim she was cultist of Agramant. His sources for her supposed crimes - the apostate general Archavion and Pickers Goldleaf, a self-proclaimed traitor. In truth these leave something to be desired before witness he swore foolish oath to assess his own thoughts and words and the truth and before Empire with as much aplomb and as much show as he did accuse proclaim his errors, untruths, and mistakes. His lack of wisdom in accusation. Go forth Dugdale, your audience awaits.
Outcome: Upheld (-)

Judgement 91

Assembly: Urizen
Raised By: Halkyon of the Myriad Stream
Judgement - Vindication: I find that Letho Southshore has behaved with admirable virtue in the reckoning between Urizen and the League. In doing so they have divided themselves in parts to satisfy the great demands of Loyalty, Wisdom, Ambition, and Vigilance. Things divided come together. I urge Letho to seek the Leitmotif in their symphony: spend each of the next four seasons dedicated to explore these virtues to find which will be your focus.
Outcome: Upheld (188-26)

Judgement 99

Assembly: General
Raised By: Vauraus "Prosperity's Forge" Korppitkotka
Judgement - Vindication: Following my inquisition of Giuseppe von Temeschwar, Senator Temeschwar, it is clear that they deliberately acted outside of the norm for Senate, driven by their pride and ambition. It was neither illegal nor unvirtuous. It was politics. I commend their pride and ambition.
Outcome: Upheld (782-30)

Judgement 106

Assembly: Pride
Raised By: Ludwig Marginiki
Judgement - Castigation: We the Pride Assembly, castigate our former Cardinal, Zadkiel, for his acceptance of the false virtue, Peace. Though he took immediate action to remove himself from the role of Cardinal. This should not have happened, nor have been considered.
Outcome: Upheld (170-48)

Judgement 113

Assembly: General
Raised By: Heilyn Bronwen's Rest
Judgement - Vindication: Bartimaeus Zenith Ascendant has consistently acted to defend the Prosperity of the Empire. The situation in the Bourse is complex, and economic factors are pushing prices down. However, Bartimaeus is one of the major reasons why prices have not crashed to truly catastrophic levels
Outcome: Upheld (718-42)

Judgement 120

Assembly: Loyalty
Raised By: Galachin Garlot
Judgement - Vindication: Pontius, under inquisition you have fully demonstrated the virtues under which you undertook your onerous task, and we fully accept that event a grain of virtue is worthy of clemency from a virtuous priest of the Imperial Synod. We find no cause for complaint or criticism of your actions and that you are a virtuous priest.
Outcome: Upheld (138-12)

Judgement 125

Assembly: Varushkan
Raised By: Father Drakov
Judgement - Vindication: Our national warchest is a boon to Varushka and we thank and praise Sigismund Vladislav Kestovia for creating and managing it. He acts with Vigilance & Loyalty to ensure our national prosperity helps those who lack the resources for magical arms and armour but still fight for Mother Varushka. Let it be known by all Sigismund has received the Testimony of "Virtuous Schlacta" and the thanks of a grateful nation for all his hard work. He has made the hard choice to go without magical arms and armour so others may be so armed.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (306-0)

Judgement 132

Assembly: Varushkan
Raised By: Velko Perunovich Razoradze
Judgement - Penance: Upon inquisition of Svlatapolk, Oligu,a nd Veleslew of Kestov we, the inquisiting priests declare that they have done virtuous and unvirtuous things in their time under the Druj but we see a path forward in virtue for Ketsov's relationship to the freed people of Ossium and the Empire. We set the Kestov the penance to build their fellow Varushkans up and they will be built up in return, share all that is worthwhile and more may be shared with them. Water flows, the wheel turns, and we will build Ossium together, an Ossium where they will never need to turn to the Druj as their ancestors did
Outcome: Upheld (254-0)

Judgement 133

Assembly: Loyalty
Raised By: Kellin Embercast
Judgement - Penance: Percival Summerstrong has dedicated his life to the fight against the vallorn. He has a passion for this fight that is rare to find outside Navarr. I have made him aware of the reality that his zeal and charismatic leadership could drive others to swear an oath to the Vallorn Guard without understanding the full implications. Percival does know the value of an oath, and the weight it carries. To prove this, and to help him remember the line between personal glory and the oath he has asked others to swear, Iask him to wear the hallowed item 'A Promise Remebered' for a year when leading the Vallorn Guard
Outcome: Upheld (230-0)

Judgement 157

Assembly: General
Raised By: Martin Orchard
Judgement - Penance: Alastair of Esther's Sanctum acted with vigilant intent in raising a condemnation before inqusiting. However, they lacked vigilant means. An inquisition would have brought the truth to light. Revocations would have immediately removed any suspect cardinal from power. After a useful one hour of discussion, I believe Alastair knows the tools they need. Their penance is to hold public inquisitions, and act on them.
Outcome: Upheld (884-90)

Judgement 164

Assembly: Marcher
Raised By: Bryce the Hare
Judgement - Penance: Winch the Winnock was present at a ritual den belonging to Agramant cultists known as the Circle of Stones. It was a lack of wisdom and prosperity that compelled Winch to undertake criminal activity as a smuggler. Upon recognising the signs of cultism, they decided to choose a more virtuous path but were unable to escape servitude until the group was attacked. Winch's decision to flee, seek striving, confess and ask for the judgement of the Synod via inquisition shows great courage and vigilance. Winch's statements will be invaluable in the efforts to save souls from Agramant's corrupting influence. Which is to seek inspiration at Good Walder's Orchard and meditate upon prosperity and helping others.
Outcome: Upheld (42-0)

Judgement 167

Assembly: Varushkan
Raised By: Katya Vasillova Reznikov
Judgement - Vindication: I find Vesna virtuous in their actions of the Empire and Varushka. Her prosperity holds no bounds. However, she needs to enjoy the fruits of their labour. As a reward I have gifted Vesna the hallowing of the Overflowing Cup, a cousins love.
Outcome: Upheld (132-0)

Judgement 170

Assembly: General
Raised By: Sam Wych-Elm
Judgement - Condemnation: I condemn Silas of the Cenotaph for the crime of Blasphemy - in having a false hallow created and agreeing to bear it wholeheartedly. This action harmed the moral authority of the Synod, setting a dangerous precedent and endangered his immortal soul.
Outcome: Not Upheld (454-572)

Judgement 172

Assembly: Prosperity
Raised By: Bronomir
Judgement - Castigation: I've had it up to here with these fucking careless priests. Emmeline Weaver of Dawn is responsible for political and economic damage to both Navarr and Varushka. We have lost the support of the Black Thorns army in Ossium, and they jeopardised a newly commissioned Wayhouse. This Wayhouse is critical for accessing forests to fund another Navarri army, and protecting our territory from the Druj. This is all because Emmeline Weaver succumed to hearsay and couldn't be bothered to walk 6ft before submitting Judgement 26. They should've called for Inquisition, not Revocation
Outcome: Not Upheld (84-154)

Recognition

Two recognitions were presented to the assemblies during the Spring Equinox

Judgement 4

Assembly: General
Raised By: Dagon
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: Upheld (1302-178)

Judgement 5

Assembly: General
Raised By: Edward Watcher
Judgement: We recognise Eleanor Novarion, the Lady of the Proffered Hand, as an Exemplar of Pride. Once a slave, she dedicated her life following her freedom and recovery to helping others who had suffered the same, demonstrating her Benevolence. Her work served as Inspiration to others, resulting in the creation of the Proffered Hand Network across the Empire. She was pivotal in securing the Salvation of the Free Folk of Asavea, reconciling their beliefs with the Way, an event marked by a miraculous aura of Pride. In her final months, she undertook Pilgrimage to Bastion, where she summarised her life with these words, a lesson to be shared across the Empire: "The greatest threat to Pride is shame. The greatest weapon against shame is Compassion."
Outcome: Upheld (1126-416)

Exaltation

Judgement 75

Assembly: Loyalty
Raised By: Veikko Bondforger
Judgement: We recognise the deeds of Aurum: Winter 382 - Leading the evacuation of Zenith; Spring 383 - Enacting a mandate to house refugees from Zenith; Summer 383YE - The consecration of the Watchers; Spring 384 - Enacting a mandate to call upon survivors to take up arms against the Druj; Summer 384 - Enacting a mandate to anoint the armies in Zenith against the Druj miasma. The actions of Aurum were "pivotal to turning the tide of the war in the Empire's favour." Without his Loyalty, many more would have suffered under the Druj and Zenith may not have been reclaimed. We recognise these deeds, and we exalt Aurum, "Loyalty's Zenith"

Rewarding

X rewardings were presented to the assemblies during the Spring Equinox

Judgement 41

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: Trencher Smoulder in the Cold
Judgement: Let all citizens bear witness to the name of Kaisa Denmother, who exemplifies the Wintemrkar nature through both deed and vision. Kaisa has worked tirelessly to guide those lost to the blood on the snow, rekindling the indivisible spirit of three peoples and uniting them without compromise or faltering in principle. In her unwavering pursuit in demonstrating that the cold cannot compromise, she both voyaged far to aid the former slaves of Rachensgrab and came to the defence of the Rahvin in a time of great need and suffering, not for coin or reward, but through the strength of her virtue and her belief in the greatness others can achieve. Let the Capodomus Cathedral uplift her hero's name, as a beacon for all who strive. Kaisa Denmother inspires us to rise above what we are, her ambition to exalty artists throughout the empire and recognise them as heroes encourages those to dream not only for ourselves, but for a stronger Empire.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (210-10)

Judgement 50

Assembly: General
Raised By: Halwyn Splitroot
Judgement: Idwyn Splitroot is the voice of Navarr and an inspiration of Pride for all who attend Navarr songs and stories. In her virtuous mission to rebuild First Voice Glade School, which was desecrated by the foul scions of Cold Sun, Idwyn has inspired the many participants of songs and stories to contribute over 15 thrones to the cause. An effort that will continue until this wrong is righted. But, this effort is not without sacrifice as it marks a break from the traditions of songs and stories which was created by the exemplar Gerallt Brackensong to provide a free exchange of artistry. A tradition Idwyn has expressed she is keen to return to swiftly. Let us recognise her accomplishments, her sacrifice, and her virtuous cause with the reward of 20 thrones.
Outcome: Not Upheld (414-482)

Judgement 54

Assembly: League
Raised By: Jonah Yakovitch von Holberg
Judgement: As a member of the Recognisers Sect, I ask for your support in recognising the ambition and deeds of Gabrieli Di Tassato. With ambition to lead the soldiers of the Empire to great victories, Gabrieli has proved themselves a true rival to the most successful League General of recent years, Gabriel Barossa. It is the nature of the League that all that we do is a competition, and with Gabrieli making a name for themselves across the Empire as the League Strategos, how much longer will people remember Gabriel before they start crediting his work as theirs? In challenging for the General of the Towerjacks at the last festival, Gabrielle made clear their ambition. They were only stopped by Gabriel securing his legacy and coming out of retirement. We call for the citizens of the League and specifically Tassato to recognise Gabriele di Tassato as the ambitious, rightful challenger to Gabriel's Legacy, to build up their reputation and appoint them as Grand Diktat at the Five Cities Military Academy!
Outcome: Upheld (140-138)
Note: The judgement was in competition with Judgement 117

Judgement 76

Assembly: General
Raised By: Athiel Westernborn of the Cenotaph
Judgement: With the blessing of the Assembly of the Nine (Judgement 212, Autumn 386YE), I request 62 thrones to be disbursed to the Imperial treasury to offset income lost to Asavean piracy. Consequences are the price of Ambition. We are willing to pay the cost.
Outcome: Upheld (1035-268)

Judgement 117

Assembly: League
Raised By: Lia Adelaar
Judgement: Novella di Sarvos, coming recently to Anvil with her partner in ingenuity Dolce di Sarvos, has led the spiritual development of many a League citizen through liao dreams. She has demonstrated her loyalty and her understanding of reckoning, by paying forward to new citizens the help she received from the First Spark Carta to build that prosperous business. Furthermore, Novella has demonstrated her Ambition in supporting the Sand Fishers and used the rules of the game further than engagement.
Outcome: Upheld (138-66)
Note: The judgement was in competition with Judgement 54

Judgement 134

Assembly: Marcher
Raised By: Mel Bleak
Judgement: There are a whole fuckload o' folks in the Marches who've done great, inspirational things but I put myself forward f'r reward an' recognition right now. I spun the unspinnable wool o' the Mourn, and I grafted to see that miracle forged into the mask of the Mourn. I've won multiple commendations on the field o' battle, I've worked on the Military Council. When the Mourn sent me t'Anvil t' win us restitution, I saw the Singing Caves assigned t'us, and 'ave seen six years o' no fucking deadly curses on our land. I'm known across the nation and the Empire as a good 'un, an' right now, ask that my achievements be rewarded by an investment in the farms at my home in Bleak.
Outcome: Upheld (118-20)

Judgement 136

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Hazelelponi of the Shattered Tower
Judgement: We the Highborn National Assembly recognise the unwavering commitment to the nation and Virtue of Ambition of Eli of the Cenotaph. His hand has guided many of our accomplishments and he will lead us through many more. We recognise that his congregation should swell in numbers to exemplify his work. He started the Grand Inspiration, he will see it through
Outcome: Upheld (272-16)

Judgement 161

Assembly: Urizen
Raised By: Caduceus of Aureate Peak
Judgement: We seek to reward Arephanes of Tropaion Citadel, for their ambition to see the strengthening of Urizen sentinels that they may be used to see their full potential in the defending of, and progress towards the goals of the Empire & Nation. In accordance with Urizens values of living by reason and mastery of themselves and others around them. We encourage all inspired by the consecration of Capodomus Cathedral to aid as they are able.
Outcome: Upheld (162-20)

Judgement 162

Assembly: Freeborn
Raised By: Asier i Elia i Guerra
Judgement: We, the Freeborn Assembly, would want to grant the boon arising from the Capodomus Cathedral to aid the improvement of a personal resource to: Suna i Rincón i Guerra in recognition of her fanning the flames of Ambition in so many newcomers to Anvil. Let every individual be free, responsible, and ambitious unto themselves!
Outcome: Upheld (106-0)

Judgement 163

Assembly: Dawnish
Raised By: Tren Meals
Judgement: The National Assembly of Dawn seeks to recognise the twice national champion of Ambition, Catrina Words the Unbelievably Magical for continuing to strive to live up to their epithet, and the fact they are well on their way to leaving a legend behind them. From developing and being instrumental in enchanting the entire nation recently with the Golden Magician's Fayre; as well as being named a Golden Lion of Meraud for assisting his survival, Caterinae has already ensured her name will be remembered for the deeds already done. But, they do not intend to rest - their current ambitions are to enchant every Summer eternal (3 down, 5 to go), be awarded champion of virtue more times than the current most named (Enchantress Morien, 3 times), to somehow enchant more than just Dawn (without breaking the law) and to use her recent boon to codify for Dawn a ritual we will cast each summit more amazing than any we.
Outcome: Upheld (110-80)

Judgement 174

Assembly: Imperial Orc
Raised By: Bloodcrow Knott
Judgement: The Unshackled National Assembly see the Judgement of Rewarding born by the Consecration of Capodomus Cathedral as a unique opportunity. Not only to recognise the Ambition of an Imperial Orc but to uplift their Legend and help them on a path towards Ancestry. Who better to identify the most deserving Legend than the Ancestors, and who better to hear them than our Shamans? For the first time, the Shamans of Anvil have gathered under the name "Audience of the Ancestors". They have decided, and the Unshackled National Assembly echoes their decision. We name Sunstorm Nirrin and their Ambition to unite the orc people of the Empire to be recognised by all Imperial Orcs. Gather your strength and help them build up their resource. May their Legend carry them Across the Abyss
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (54-0)

Judgement 177

Assembly: Navarr
Raised By: Siân Eternal
Judgement: Silk Farkas embodies the natural Navarri psychology of "Actions have consequences". His Ambition is to restore the Empire's knowledge of History. We will learn from our past!
Outcome: Upheld (98-0)
