Change of doctrine
No change of doctrine was proposed during the Winter Solstice summit.
Veto
The veto was not sought during the Winter Solstice 383YE.
Statement of principle
The following statements of principle were presented to the assemblies of the Imperial Synod. Those statements which achieved a Greater Majority will be distributed to appropriate assemblies.
Judgement 5
- Assembly: Highguard National
- Raised By: Tabris, Son of Armisael
- Judgement: Bloodcrow Udoo and the Imperial Orcs have sounded the call, and Tobias Field of Hoe Orel the rest of Dawn will no doubt soon throw down the gauntlet; a race to claim the Barrens from the Druj, and free the slaves held captive there. Highguard stands prepared to answer. Out Unconquered are a match for the soldiers of the Winter Sun, and our Caraphracts will match any Dawnish knight! In the name of the further extermination of the Druj, and in the name of the greater shared understanding between our nations, Highguard accepts Dawn's challenge, let the greatest Cathleon the world has ever seen commence!
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (388 - 0)
Judgement 7
- Assembly: League National
- Raised By: Genoveva Barossa di Tassato
- Judgement: Like the idolatrous beliefs of the Asaveans, the false virtue of Hatred is an affront to all Imperial citizens. Pride teaches us to despise the half-hearted, the uncommitted, and the pretender and so there is no place for those who only pretend to follow the Way of Virtue within the EMpire. We recognise the shared history of Tassato and the Marches and call on all citizens of Tassato, including those of Little Mournwold, to work together and strengthen their bonds by rooting out those who cling to the blasphemous teachings of Hatred.
- Outcome: Upheld (241-20)
Judgement 9
- Assembly: Wintermark National
- Raised By: Aethelric the Grounded
- Judgement: For over two years, Isolde Tempest-Shield, Thane of Hearthfire Hall, has been working tirelessly to create a new national sinecure exclusively for Wintermark's three armies. Our generals have asked for a new source of mana to power the rituals that are essential for victory and, as Hearthfire Hall is a popular and welcoming destination for Winterborn travellers and refugees, Isolde is offering them an opportunity to demonstrate their Heroism and Virtue by laying the physical and administrative foundations of this sinecure. The Stormcrows of Wintermark therefore acknowledge and commend Isolder Tempest-Shield for her work thus far and urge all citizens of Wintermark, of whatever standing and means, to heartily support the endeavour by scouting the Mark for suitable sites.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (199-0)
Mandate
The following mandates were passed during the Winter 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.
Some mandates were upheld by their respective assemblies but failed to receive a Greater Majority. These mandates might have failed due to the intervention of the Wisdom assembly and the sword scholars, but the pilgrimage of spirit encouraged during the Autumn Equinox meant they were enacted regardless. Without the pilgrimage in the name of Imperatrix Lisabetta, judgement 6 (chastise the Wisdom assembly) would have failed to be enacted.
Judgement 4
- Assembly: Vigilance Virtue
- Raised By: Lochais
- Judgement: Seek out the poison in your neighbour's fields. To defeat the Druj we must see through their deceptions and see past their lies. We send Lohaias of Oblivion's Edge with 50 liao to urge those who would claim the Barrens and defeat the Druj to be vigilant to their every ruse.
- Outcome: Upheld (128 - 0). Awaiting Liao
- Notes: The opportunity is detailed in Seize the moments. If enacted, the Imperial Orc campaign to claim the Barrens will have the explicit blessing of the Assembly of Vigilance. By providing auras of Vigilance to those forces fighting in the Barrens, the Assembly could enable them to be alert and attentive to every detail, allowing them to surveil the territory even as they attack the Druj. In the following season, any Imperial Orc army or army that is supporting them can attack the Barrens by issuing the order to gather intelligence in the same way as an army with the scouting quality.
Judgement 6
- Assembly: General
- Raised By: Rafael Barossa di Tassato
- Judgement: The priests of the Assembly of Wisdom were wrong to tell citizens to question every mandate the Synod passes. While it is virtuous to despise folly, Wisdom knows that all knowledge is incomplete. By urging the virtuous to oppose the mandates of the Synod, the Wisdom Assembly has overstepped its authority. Debate and discussion are tools of the Wise, but they must not be wielded to impede the Synod in its duties. We send Rafael Barossa di Tassato with 200 doses of liao to remind the Wise that they are part of the Empire, not above it.
- Outcome: Upheld (927 - 419) with a margin of 508. Awaiting Liao
- Notes: The opportunity is detailed in The price of wisdom. If enacted, the mandate ends the requirement for other mandates to achieve a greater majority going forward, and changes the relationship between the General Assembly and the Virtue assemblies for the next year at least.
Judgement 10
- Assembly: Dawn National
- Raised By: Lady Eleanor Novarion
- Judgement: The House of the Proffered Hand was created to offer sanctuary and succour to liberated slaves while giving them guidance in The Way. It is the ideal place to welcome our distant cousins recently liberated from slavery in Asavea, who we invited to Dawn. We send Lady Eleanor Novarion with 15 doses of liao to encourage the Maracossan refugees to seek sanctuary at the House of the Proffered Hand.
- Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (184 - 12). Awaiting Liao
- Notes: The opportunity is detailed in Between wind and water. If enacted it will encourage the followers of the Way among the Marracossan refugees to move to the House of the Proffered Hand in Astolat.

Judgement 8
- Assembly: Way
- Raised By: Earl of Fools
- Judgement: Inquisition. I call Yulia Kasimirova Voronova / presents for Throne's sake and virtue's gain / herself to the test of Inquisition / The Way to the Throne is paved by virtue / And as candidate she shall walk this path / Her soul ungirded to the Earl of fools / At 6 on Saturday's eve in Glory's Square
- Outcome: Upheld (71 - 0)
