===Appraisal: Armoury of Hercynia===
===Abrogate Dissemination of True Liao Visions===
The Navarr are mobilising for War. Now is the time to relight the forges of Treji and draw what we can from the forests and mountains of the great vale. We ask Elian Sweetwater to consider how Hercynia can become the Armoury of Navarr allowing artisans to better equip our armies and heros for the fights to come.
*'''Motion:''' To abrogate the dissemination of True Liao Visions and save the Imperial treasury 10 thrones per season.
===Appraisal: Remove Uncooperative Quality from Mareave===
*'''Proposed:''' Sarvos
*'''Seconded:''' Segura
*'''Failed'''
 
===Allocate Fundindelve===
*'''Motion:''' To make the Fundindelve mithril mine an Imperial Bourse Resource

===Amend Crystal Architect===
*'''Motion:''' To amend the position of the Crystal Architect of the Spires to become an Imperial position allowing the holder to build a vis or mana sinecure in any imperial territory instead of just Urizen. To be auctioned on the public bourse auction.

*'''Passed'''
*'''Outcome:''' The [[Crystal Architect of the Spires]] will have its method of appointment and eligibility amended.
* '''Notes:''' As the title will be auctioned this will reduce the number of commissions available to the Imperial Senate by one. As this was not communicated to the Senate at the time there will be an administrative motion during the Autumn Equinox to confirm the method of appointment and eligibility for this title.

*'''Motion:''' To amend the election of the [[Delver of the Depths]]. This Bourse title shall be auctioned at the spring Equinox where it will assist with the ilium gap

*'''Outcome:''' Changing the season in which a title is elected is not within the power of the Imperial Senate. The civil service will take this motion under advisement.
* '''Constitution:''' The Constitutional Court note that it is not always possible to alter the schedule of an election. For the most part, the schedule for an election is set by the Civil Service based on the need to create and maintain a manageable election schedule. In this case, it ''is'' possible to move the election date without affecting the schedule, so it is fine for the Imperial Senate to do so, but any title would be considered on a case-by-case basis.
 
===Amend Virtue Inquisitors===
*'''Motion:''' The inquisitions of the Arcane Inquisitor and Imperial Inquisitor can be called without delay; as no vote is required. This motion restores the same procedure to Virtue Inquisitors they may then raise any judgments of escalation for vote as usual afterwards.

Latest revision as of 17:10, 22 September 2024

Overview

The Imperial Senate governs the Empire, and its authority extends to all areas of Imperial life not already covered by the other houses of government. Each summit the senators meet several times to deliberate and vote on the motions they have raised.

After the summit the civil service enact those motions, and ensure a public record of each is made available to the citizens of the Empire. This page lists all the motions raised during the summit, along with the announcements made by citizens with Imperial titles. In each case, the motion and its effects are summarized including the wording; who proposed and seconded it; whether it passed or not; whether any funds were disbursed to support it; and what the outcome of the motion will be.

Many motions (especially the commissions) also have a Further Details section that provides a link to a wiki page dealing specifically with that motion in more detail, any commentary from the Constitutional Court, progress on commissions, or expanded information about the outcome of the motion.

Following the mandate enacted by Luca i Taziel i Riqueza after the Winter Solstice 385YE the number of commissions available has been reduced as the faithful have been convinced to withdraw their labour. This will continue until either the Imperial Senate uses a motion to assign fines from the magistrates to the Virtue fund or the Prosperity Assembly uses a clearly worded Statement of Principle upheld with a greater majority to encourage the faithful to once again take up their tools. More information can be found in the Forwards and Rewards wind of fortune.

  • Passed
  • Outcome: The Crystal Architect of the Spires will have its method of appointment and eligibility amended.

Click Expand to see the wording of this treaty

This treaty is an expression of mutual respect and cordiality between the Skouran Consolidation and the Casinean Empire. These two parties are the signatories to this treaty. Both signatories acknowledge the Empire's recent conquest of the territory now known as Mareave and welcome the nation of Imperial Orcs to the territory. With the resumption of Imperial and Skouran land borders, both parties recognise the appropriateness of signing a treaty of cordial relations at this time.

The Consolidation celebrates the defeat of the Grendel, and awaits with interest new of the future intentions of the new occupants of the territory. As a people who reject enslavement in practice and principle, the Consolidation welcomes the Imperial Orcs, scions of freedom, as suitable stewards and owners of the lowlands.

The Consolidation acknowledges the establishment of hopes of safe harbour and homeland in the land they themselves once called home. In order to provide security and the foundation of a lasting peace, all Skouran historical claim to territories on the Bay of Catazar, including Mareave, is formally renounced in perpetuity.

The Consolidation respects and acknowledges the ambitions of the Empire to defeat the orcs of the Broken Shore and Attar, and formally states that they regard the Empire as a more suitable and responsible steward of these lands. The Consolidation will not attempt to interfere in the politics or military affairs of the orcs of the Broken Shore or Attar, both neutral parties and those that align themselves with the Grendel nation, without consultation with the Empire. Both parties state an intention for future successful negotiations regarding the deployment of Skouran mercenaries in this theatre of war.

The Empire acknowledges the history of the Skouran people in Mareave that was once Mahal, and will attempt to return, at reasonable costs, any cultural and historical artifacts of the Skouran people that are uncovered as they developed the territory. The Empire acknowledges the profound wish of the Skouran people to live in security and to enjoy the fruits of the labour of their hands in peace. They reject territorial claim to the lands in which the Skouran people now dwell, known to some as "the Deepholdings" or "the Spine of the Creator". The Empire respects the friendship of the Skouran people with the people of the Mountains of the Moon who call themselves Tsark, and acknowledges the risks to the Consolidation that destabilisation of this society could bring. Therefore, the Empire commits themselves to consulting with the Consolidation on substantive matters pertaining to Tsark.

This treaty has been approved and signed by the guiding council of the Consolidation, and hence takes effect on the notification of the Consolidation's representative by the Imperial Consul that the Imperial Senate has indicated its own approval.

Ratify Treaty with the Iron Confederacy

  • Motion: To Ratify a Treaty with the Iron Confederacy.
  • Proposed: Segura
  • Seconded: Sarvos
  • Passed
  • Outcome: The Iron Confederacy have been granted free trade by the Empire. More information on this treaty can be found in the The price of peace wind of fortune. There was some confusion over the format of this treaty so there will be an administrative motion at the Autumn Equinox to apply the three year period to both free trade and the criminalisation of the sale of narcotics to the Suranni. The three year period is a statement of intent as part of the treaty, it will require motions to remove the status of free trade and to legalise the sale of narcotics to the Suranni.
