Assembly of Highguard	The proposed Cursing of the whole territory of Reikos is a barbaric practice, that is unacceptable because it would indiscriminately kill, not only Druj, but also our own fellow citizens of Highguard.	Lilian of the Unbound Chapter	Defeated 147 - 43
General Assembly	This Statement of Principle calls for the removal of the word Freedom from the Senate Building; Freedom is the false virtue of Anarchy, and is unvirtuous	Abraham of the Shattered Tower, Highguard	Defeated

General Assembly	Each National Assembly should convene at least once every festival	Morgan Brokenbone, Navarr	Defeated 222 to 138
General Assembly	As the Empire has expanded in influence and Virtue, so too has the way in which we should recognise the Sign of Pilgrimage. Any journey with enough spiritual meaning can change the soul. Therefore when appropriate conjunctions arise, future opportunities ought to be created for pilgrims to journey out from Anvil.	Helena di Sarvos, League	Defeated 320 to 281
General Assembly	The Synod invites those Senators who wish to formally ally their works with those of the Imperial Priesthood to create a political band of Senators - The Bannerpeople of Virtue.	Rurik Von Linden	Defeated 456 to 111
Assembly of Courage	An Open List of aspirants to the Throne should be created through the appropriate channels to allow aspirants to publically and widely show their Courage and Ambition as such.	Isaac di Sarvos	Upheld by Greater Majority, 74 to 34
Assembly of Loyalty	This Statement of Principle recognises the actions of Diego i Guerra in the battle fought in Karsk; his assistance rendered to the soldiers of the Marches show his return towards walking the Virtuous path	Tancred de Rondell, Dawn	Upheld 74 - 0
