Imperial sodality

Latest revision as of 19:54, 22 May 2026

The Rune of Loyalty is often used as a symbol for the idea of an Imperial sodality, and evoked in the creation of a Mark of Fellowship.

Overview

There are countless organisations in the Empire that have grown in influence and membership beyond the confines of a single nation. These groups and institutions are commonly referred to as sodalities. Most of them do not benefit from any formal recognition by the Imperial Senate and those with subversive or criminal intent have every reason to avoid it. However, if a group wish to wield legal powers collectively, they must petition the Senate to pass a motion to recognise them as an Imperial sodality.

To be recognised in this way, a fellowship must have a manifesto, a clear statement as to its purpose and responsibilties, and a known symbol. Creating a sodality requires a constitutional vote, so it is only possible to do so when there is an occupant of the Throne who can ratify the vote.

A new Imperial title is automatically created when a sodality is recognised by the Senate. The position must be elected by members of the sodality and it is their responsibility to represent their sodales' views to other parts of the Empire and to be responsible for recruitment of new members and for advancing the sodality's goals and the member's interests.

Role within the Empire

A sodality has primacy within the remit of its responsibilities
Creating a new sodality constrains the other houses of power
A sodality cannot have concerns and responsibilites that overlap unneccessarily with another branch of government

Imperial sodalities exist to allow the Senate to create new bodies of state, ones that have responsibility for a distinct area of concern. A group only becomes an Imperial sodality when its existence is formally recognised with a Senate motion with a clear manifesto.

A sodality must have a responsibility for a distinct area of concern. Each sodality has primacy within the remit of its own area of responsibility. If the Senate approves a specific purpose for a sodality, then only that sodality can employ legal powers within that area of responsibility. It is unconstitutional for any other house to employ powers that transgress on the sodalities responsibilities.

Because only a single body may have primacy, creating a sodality removes that concern from any other house of power. At the point where the Empire created the Imperial Apothecaries Guild - with responsibility for the arts of the apothecary, then the Imperial Conclave can no longer exercise power over potions or similar consumables. Each sodality must be clearly unique - the Senate cannot create a second sodality with competing responsibilities, since then it would be impossible to determine which sodality had primacy.

Sessions

A sodality can only wield its powers during a formal session
The civil service will arrange for at least one session for each sodality at every summit

A sodality must be in session to wield its powers. The time and location of a formal session of every Imperial sodality is set by the civil service, just as it is for the Imperial Senate. They arrange each session and publish the time and location in advance of each summit. By default, sessions take place in the Sodality Chamber, if scheduling allows. The civil service will arrange additional sessions if they determine they are appropriate.

The sodality can only wield any powers they possess during this session, and only while there is a civil servant present to notarise the outcome. A civil servant must be present at the beginning, but they are only required to attend for sufficient time for the sodality to enact any powers they hold. If the sodality do not discharge their legal business in a timely manner, taking any formal votes first and after an appropriate amount of discussion, then the civil servant is under no obligation to remain present.

Participation

Any Imperial citizen who is a member of a sodality, or is a civil servant, is free to enter the chamber and speak therein while the sodality is in session. The sodality is free to permit citizens who are not otherwise eligible to enter and to speak if they choose to do so. Such guests may be asked to be quiet at any point, and treated as unwelcome guest if they refuse.

In addition, the right of witness ensures that every member of the Synod is entitled to observe the session. As with other bodies of state, members of the Synod may not participate in the session unless they are also a member of the sodality, and can expect to be expelled if they are disruptive.

Limitations

Manifesto

Each sodality much have a manifesto
A valid manifesto makes three concise assertions of the things that members believe
A valid manifesto has three clear statements expressing what the sodality exists to do

A sodality only becomes an Imperial sodality when its existence is formally recognised with a Senate motion that explicitly names the sodality and lists its goals. The goals enumerated in the Senate motion must encapsulate the sodality's purpose. To ensure that the purpose is clear a sodality is expected to provide a clear, concise manifesto that makes three assertions and three statements, in a similar format to those adopted by the orders of the Conclave.

All Senate motions are subject to scrutiny by the Constitutional Court who study the wording to ensure that it is compatible with Imperial law and the Imperial Constitution. The Court pay special attention to the enumerated goals of any sodality and are likely to reject anything that is overly long or broad or which tramples on the responsibilities of an established part of the Imperial government or even another sodality.

It is not possible to grant legal powers to a sodality that do not naturally accord with the responsibilities outlined in the group's manifesto.

Veto

A resolution to employ a legal power must be announced to the Senate
Legal powers employed by a sodality are subject to veto by the Synod and the Throne

All resolutions by a sodality to use a legal power must be announced in the Senate before they can be effective. At that point they are subject to veto by the Throne if they are present.

The same remit governs the actions of sodalities, so the Synod can veto the announcement of any legal power enacted by a sodality. Any legal power that would have constitutional implications could be vetoed by the General Assembly or by the Assembly of Nine, and any normal legal power could be vetoed once per summit. A decision that is vetoed cannot be revisited before the start of the next summit.

Dissolution

The Imperial Senate can dissolve a sodality with a a constitutional vote of the Senate

The Senate can dissolve an existing sodality with a constitutional vote of the Senate. If a sodality is dissolved, than any Imperial titles that are appointed by that sodality that are not explicitly resigned to new appointment methods are abrogated.

Upkeep

The cost to the Imperial treasury is four thrones per season per sodality

The civil service are required by law to keep careful records of which citizens are members of an Imperial sodality so that they can support the sodality's ability to elect a speaker and enact any other powers they have. The more sodalities that exist, the more expensive this operation becomes. By default, the upkeep for each sodality is four thrones a season.

An opportunity to grant an existing Imperial sodality additional new legal powers or abilities may explicitly include an increase in the sodality's upkeep to reflect the benefits.

 ==Overview==
-There are countless organisations in the Empire that have grown in influence and membership beyond the confines of a single nation. These groups and institutions are commonly referred to as sodalities. Most of them don't benefit from any formal recognition by the [[Senate]], and those with subversive or criminal intent have every reason to avoid it. However, if a group wishes to wield power within the Imperial government, they must petition the Senate to pass a [[senate motion|motion]] to recognise them as an Imperial sodality.

-To be recognised in this way, a fellowship must have a clear manifesto in the style of those expressed by any [[Conclave order]]. This must consist of three concise claims that the sodality believes to be true followed by three clear statements expressing what the sodality exists to do. In addition they must have a known symbol that can clearly represent the sodality. This is a constitutional vote, as the creation of a new Imperial sodality can have significant ramifications. This means it is only possible to create a new sodality when there is an occupant of [[the Throne]] who can ratify the vote.

-A new Imperial title is automatically created when a sodality is recognised by the Senate. It is a mistake to assume the title-holder is "in charge" of the sodality: it would be unconstitutional to create an Imperial title that had any power of that kind. Rather, the position is expected to be a mouthpiece for the sodality, with the responsibility to represent their sodalities' views to other parts of the Empire, to recruit new members, and to advance the sodality's goals and the members' interests. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the Senate motion, the title is traditionally named, "Speaker for ''the sodality''".

-In most cases, anyone can be part of a sodality, but to be recognised as a voting member requires a casting of the Autumn ritual, [[Mark of Fellowship]]. Like [[Arcane Mark]] this ritual places an enduring magical mark on the target character which can be perceived with magical detection. A character can only have one such Mark of Fellowship in place at a given time. Other than the Throne, an individual citizen can only ever be a ''voting'' member of a single Imperial sodality at once.
 ==Role within the Empire==
-There are countless sodalities in the Empire that do not have and would not benefit from the formal legal status of Imperial sodality. These organisations are free to set their own rules and to do as they please within the limits of the law. Becoming an Imperial sodality is onerous, and brings significant restrictions that most groups eschew.
+* '''A sodality has primacy within the remit of its responsibilities'''
+* '''Creating a new sodality constrains the other houses of power'''
+* '''A sodality cannot have concerns and responsibilites that overlap unneccessarily with another branch of government'''
+Imperial sodalities exist to allow the Senate to create new bodies of state, ones that have responsibility for a distinct area of concern. A group only becomes an Imperial sodality when its existence is formally recognised with a [[Senate motion]] with a clear manifesto.
-Imperial sodalities exist to allow the Senate to create new bodies of state, ones that have responsibility for a distinct area of concern. Just as the Imperial Conclave is charged with oversight of magic across the Empire, the Senate can create a new Imperial sodality to promote specific goals. Once that has happened, then the Senate can use further motions to grant legal powers to the sodality to enable it to better discharge its responsibilities.
+A sodality ''must'' have a responsibility for a distinct area of concern. Each sodality has primacy within the remit of its own area of responsibility. If the Senate approves a specific purpose for a sodality, then ''only'' that sodality can employ legal powers within that area of responsibility. It is unconstitutional for any other house to employ powers that transgress on the sodalities responsibilities.
-A sodality only becomes an Imperial sodality when its existence is formally recognised with a [[Senate motion]] that explicitly names the sodality and lists its goals. The goals enumerated in the Senate motion must encapsulate the sodality's purpose. To ensure that the purpose is clear a sodality is expected to provide up to three statements, in a similar format to those adopted by the [[Conclave order|orders]] of the [[Conclave]].

The Court pay special attention to the enumerated goals of any sodality and are likely to reject anything that is overly long or broad or which tramples on the responsibilities of an established part of the Imperial government or even another sodality.
-For example, a sodality that was created with three goals; "to support the Empire, to help citizens prosper, and to promote Virtue" would be instantly rejected as being far too broad. The Constitutional Court expects every citizen to pursue goals such as these, they don't express anything about the purpose of this sodality. Likewise a sodality that claimed that its goal was "to ensure the sound use of magic in the Empire" would be rejected because that is the responsibility of the Imperial Conclave.
-These checks are important, because a sodality's purpose is crucial to any legal powers that the Imperial Senate might grant with a subsequent motion. If the Senate creates an Imperial title whose responsibility was to organise message-runners on the battlefield, they could choose to have a sodality appoint that title. That decision would be constitutional, if the sodality existed to facilitate communication between the field marshal and their allies in battles. It wouldn't be constitutional if the sodality's purpose was to boost trade with foreign nations.
 ==Sessions==
-A sodality must be in session to wield its powers. If a sodality has one or more legal powers that they can exercise, then the Imperial civil service will arrange a meeting for members of the sodality and publish the time and location of this session in advance of each summit. By default, the session will take place in the Senate chamber, if scheduling allows. The sodality can only wield any legal powers they possess during this session, and only if there is a civil servant present to notarise the outcome.

-The speaker of the sodality can ensure there is a chair for the session, if one is needed. A civil servant must be present, but they are only required to attend for sufficient time for the sodality to enact any legal powers they hold. If the sodality do not discharge their legal business in a timely manner, taking any formal votes first and after an appropriate amount of discussion, then the civil servant is under no obligation to remain present.

The civil service will arrange additional sessions if they determine they are appropriate.
-A formal session of a sodality is only scheduled if there is a legal power that the sodality could wield. This happens automatically whenever a sodality is due to elect their speaker or other Imperial title they control, at the coming summit. If a sodality has been granted legal powers they can use at every summit, then the civil service will ensure that there is always at least one session scheduled. A sodality may meet where and when they choose, but the time and location of a formal session of any Imperial sodality, is set by the civil service, just as it is for the Imperial Senate.

 ==Participation==
-Any Imperial citizen who is a member of a sodality, or is a civil servant, is free to enter the chamber and speak therein while the sodality is in session. Other citizens may not enter the sodality chamber while it is in session without the express permission of the sodality. Where necessary a civil servant may quickly check the wishes of the sodality members who are present if it becomes obvious that there is someone participating in the session who has no right to do so.
+Any Imperial citizen who is a [[member of a sodality]], or is a [[Civil Service|civil servant]], is free to enter the chamber and speak therein while the sodality is in session. The sodality is free to permit citizens who are not otherwise eligible to enter and to speak if they choose to do so. Such guests may be asked to be quiet at any point, and treated as [[List_of_Criminal_Offences#Crimes_against_the_Person|unwelcome guest]] if they refuse.
-In addition, the [[Member_of_the_Synod#Witness|right of witness]] ensures that every member of the [[Synod]] is entitled to observe the session. To facilitate this, the Senate has a large viewing are that adjoins the main chamber. If the civil service are forced to schedule the session in another location, the sodality is required to ensure that members of the Synod have sufficient physical access to the chamber to witness the proceedings.
+In addition, the [[Member_of_the_Synod#Witness|right of witness]] ensures that every member of the [[Synod]] is entitled to observe the session. As with other bodies of state, members of the Synod may not participate in the session unless they are also a member of the sodality, and can expect to be expelled if they are disruptive.
-===Elections===
-* '''Sodalities can elect national or Imperial positions'''
-* '''The citizen elected need not be a member of the sodality'''
-The [[New_Imperial_titles#Well_Worn_Paths|well worn path]] for any sodality to elect a position or to vote on the legal use of a power is to grant each member one vote and to conduct a vote using [[Navarr_leadership#Leading_a_territory|the approach employed by the Navarr]]. For an election, each candidate is usually granted a few minutes to make their case, then those present move to stand behind their preferred candidate for the position. Citizens are free to move until the Overseer of Imperial Elections calls time, allowing individuals and groups to move to coalesce support where it appears to be most effective.
-It is possible for a sodality to appoint titles that are Imperial or national. If a position is national, then only a citizen of that nation may be appointed, but every member of the sodality is still eligible to vote on the title. In most cases, the chosen citizen need not be a member of the sodality - the one exception is usually the sodality's Speaker
-===Legal Powers===
-To use a legal power devolved to the sodality by the Imperial Senate, a citizen would present the case for the proposal and another would make the case against. Once each had had an opportunity to state their position and answer any questions, members of the sodality would move to stand behind either candidate to indicate their support.
-===Bequests===
-* '''A single bequest can only be endowed in its entirety and must be given to a member of the sodality'''
-* '''A citizen cannot receive the same bequest again until a year has passed'''
-It is common for a sodality to receive regular donations from outside groups who want to support their aims and goals. These gifts are called bequests, and the civil service keep track of all resources donated to a sodality in this way.
-If a sodality is in receipt of a bequest then they can endow all the resources to a single citizen with a simple vote. The citizen who receives the bequest may do as they like with it, but the sodality can only choose a single citizen to receive it - it is not possible to split an individual bequest up.
-A citizen who receives a bequest may not receive the same bequest again until a year has passed, otherwise they are subverting the agencies of state. They may receive other bequests from the same sodality, or from different sodalites, but they may not accept a specific bequest from a sodality if they have already received that bequest in the past year.
-If a bequest is not endowed on anyone from the sodality at a summit, then the resources available are added to the value of that bequest at the following summit. The total amount must still be endowed on a single member of the sodality.
 ==Limitations==
-The most common power that the Senate can grant to an Imperial sodality is the ability to appoint an Imperial title, either one that already exists and is being modified or a [[New Imperial titles|new Imperial title]] is being created. Usually, such titles are arranged in close cooperation with a sodality, but there is no legal requirement for that to happen. If the Imperial Senate finds the appointment of a title burdensome for any reason, they can use a Senate motion to empower an appropriate Imperial sodality to appoint that title if they chose.
+===Manifesto===
+* '''Each sodality much have a manifesto'''
+* '''A valid manifesto makes three concise assertions of the things that members believe'''
+* '''A valid manifesto has three clear statements expressing what the sodality exists to do'''
-An Imperial title that is appointed by vote of a sodality ''must'' either be appointed on an annual basis on a set date or have [[New_Imperial_titles#Tenure|tenure]]. An important title, like the sodality's speaker or their equivalent, cannot have tenure. The title must be [[revocation|revocable]] by the [[Assembly#General_Assembly|General Assembly]] - and by the national Assembly, but only if it is a national position. The Senate can opt to allow an ''appropriate'' Virtue assembly to revoke a title appointed by a relevant sodality.
+A sodality only becomes an Imperial sodality when its existence is formally recognised with a [[Senate motion]] that explicitly names the sodality and lists its goals. The goals enumerated in the Senate motion must encapsulate the sodality's purpose. To ensure that the purpose is clear a sodality is expected to provide a clear, '''concise''' manifesto that makes three assertions and three statements, in a similar format to those adopted by the [[Conclave order|orders]] of the [[Conclave]].
-In theory it is possible for the Imperial Senate to divest one or more legal powers to an Imperial sodality. For example, the Imperial Senate could choose to given an Imperial sodality the power to instruct the civil service to conduct [[historical research]]. Any legal power that the Imperial Senate could exercise that could be [[veto|vetoed]] by the Imperial Synod can still be vetoed even if it the power is ceded to an Imperial sodality to enact.
+All Senate motions are subject to [[scrutiny]] by the Constitutional Court who study the wording to ensure that it is compatible with [[Imperial law]] and the [[Imperial Constitution]]. The Court pay special attention to the enumerated goals of any sodality and are likely to reject anything that is overly long or broad or which tramples on the responsibilities of an established part of the Imperial government or even another sodality.
-==Joining a Sodality==
-* '''Any Imperial citizen may join a sodality at any time by being the recipient of the Mark of Fellowship'''
-* '''The Throne is automatically considered to be a member of all Imperial sodalities'''
-* '''Citizens may use the ritual to change sodality at any time'''
-* '''New characters cannot choose to start in a sodality, player-characters can only join a sodality in play'''
-A sodality can recognise the contributions of any citizen, but to be a full ''voting'' of an Imperial sodality, a citizen must be the recipient of the Autumn ritual [[Mark of Fellowship]]. This ritual places an enduring magical mark on the target character which can be perceived only with magical detection. The mark takes the form of the sodality's symbol and it allows the Imperial civil service to keep accurate records for each sodality of which citizens are eligible to cast a legal vote.
-If a citizen is the recipient of a second Mark of Fellowship, it will overwrite the first mark. Thus an individual citizen can only be a voting member of a single Imperial sodality at any given time. This restriction of the magic is deliberate and reflects the legal powers that an Imperial sodality can wield. Just as a citizen can only be part of one nation, one Conclave order, one Synod Virtue Assembly at any given time, so they can only wield power in a single sodality at once.
-Citizens may change sodality at any time, but a person who changes sodality cannot vote in the new sodality, if they were a member of a different sodality when that sodality conducted an official vote in the last year. The most common official vote is the election for a new speaker, but you would not be eligible in any votes if you were previously ''eligible'' to vote when the sodality you were part of conducted a vote at any of the previous three summits. Attempting to vote in a sodality when you are not eligible is electoral fraud and can carry harsh penalties.
+It is not possible to grant legal powers to a sodality that do not naturally accord with the responsibilities outlined in the group's manifesto.
-[[The Throne]] holds a unique position in the Imperial constitution which states that ''"Whenever the Throne sits in the great councils laid out in this constitution, then their voice shall carry the greatest weight."'' An Imperial sodality legally meets the definition of "a great council" and as such, the Throne is always considered to be a member of any sodality. While few empresses or emperors have the time to be attending a session of a sodality, legally they are able to do so, and they are able to speak and vote as a full member of the sodality, with or without an appropriate Mark of Fellowship.
+===Veto===
+* '''A resolution to employ a legal power must be announced to the Senate'''
+* '''Legal powers employed by a sodality are subject to veto by the Synod and the Throne'''
+All resolutions by a sodality to use a legal power must be announced in the Senate before they can be effective. At that point they are subject to veto by [[the Throne]] if they are present.
-The civil service keep records of who is a member of which sodalities and publish a list of members who have indicated that they are attending Anvil in the Hub.
+The same remit governs the actions of sodalities, so the [[Synod]] can veto the announcement of any legal power enacted by a sodality. Any legal power that would have constitutional implications could be vetoed by the General Assembly or by the Assembly of Nine, and any normal legal power could be vetoed once per summit. A decision that is vetoed cannot be revisited before the start of the next summit.
-It is theoretically possible for the Imperial Senate to limit who can legally join an Imperial sodality. Any attempt to limit who is eligible to join automatically attracts considerable scrutiny by the Constitutional Court - there is an inherent assumption that any such attempt is an unconstitutional attempt to control who can be a member of the sodality. Such limits would only pass scrutiny where they identify a group of citizens who could not reasonably contribute to the goals of the sodality.
+===Dissolution===
+* '''The Imperial Senate can dissolve a sodality with a a constitutional vote of the Senate'''
-==Extent==
+The Senate can dissolve an existing sodality with a constitutional [[Powers_of_the_Imperial_Senate#Conclave_Orders|vote of the Senate]]. If a sodality is dissolved, than any Imperial titles that are appointed by that sodality that are not explicitly resigned to new appointment methods are abrogated.
-The existence and purpose of an Imperial sodality is broadcast throughout the Empire, to ensure that every citizen has the opportunity to join if they wish. Under normal circumstances, the only NPCs who will join a sodality are those who are genuinely interested in advancing the sodality's official goals. It will be rare for any of these NPCs to attend Anvil. Instead, in common with other Imperial NPCs, they will look to the citizens at Anvil for leadership and guidance. NPCs will only work against such leadership if they have good reason to believe it conflicts with the sodality's stated goals.
 ==Upkeep==
 * '''The cost to the Imperial treasury is four thrones per season per sodality'''
-The civil service are required by law to keep careful records of which citizens are members of an Imperial sodality so that they can support the sodality's ability to elect a speaker and enact any other legal powers they have. The more sodalities that exist, the more expensive this operation becomes. By default, the upkeep for each sodality is four thrones a season.

-==Creation and Dissolution of a Sodality==
-* '''The Empire can dissolve existing sodalities or create new ones with a constitutional vote of the Senate'''
-* '''Senate can create any number of sodalities, but each new sodality has an upkeep of four thrones a season'''
-The Empire can create new sodalities and dissolve existing ones at any time by a constitutional [[Powers_of_the_Imperial_Senate#Conclave_Orders|vote of the Senate]]. If a sodality is dissolved, than any Imperial titles that are appointed by that sodality that are not explicitly resigned to new appointment methods are abrogated.
-A newly created sodality must have a clear statement as to its purpose, and a symbol, similar to those possessed by existing sodalities and orders, that is used with the [[Mark of Fellowship]] ritual.
