The appointment of the Cardinal of Loyalty was later challenged as Jared was not present at the summit and he was nominated by a proxy.  
The appointment of the Cardinal of Loyalty was later successfully challenged as Jared was not present at the summit and he was nominated by a proxy. The Cardinal of Loyalty reverts back to the incumbent; Jared and the Gatekeeper of Loyalty reverts to the incumbent Oberon. Appointment of the Virtue Inquisitor stands as valid by the proxy of the Cardinal.
The challenge was upheld at Anvil but the Constitutional Court has since confirmed that proxies are able to stand for election of Virtue Titles and there is no need for the re-election announced by the Civil Service at the 379YE Winter Solstice summit. The Civil Service apologies for the prior announcement of the re-election. The appointment of Gatekeeper and Virtue Inquisitor are likewise considered valid.
The Constitutional Court will clarify the validity of proxies in Synod elections and the election for Cardinal of Loyalty will be held again at Winter Solstice 379YE.

The creation of the Imperial Titles of Virtue Inquisitor required the immediate appointment of all eight Virtue Inquisitors..

A virtue inquisitor retains their title until they die, step down, are revoked, or until a new cardinal of their assembly is appointed and chooses to name a replacement.

Cardinal Olek appointed Serrusto Caeli Rezia di Tassato of the League as Virtue Inquisitor of Ambition.
Cardinal Asher appointed Lady Eleanor de Rondell of Dawn as Virtue Inquisitor of Courage.
Veli Garwulfson, the unchallenged proxy of Cardinal Jared appointed Julius Cavita of the League as Virtue Inquisitor of Loyalty.

Cardinal Agnetha appointed Ana-Marina Ferreira da Mestra of the League as Virtue Inquisitor of Wisdom.
Cardinal Beodun appointed Yarrick Ursan of Wintermark as Virtue Inquisitor of The Way.

Synod Judgements

At the Summit, the following judgements were made by the Assemblies of the Synod:

Number Assembly Judgement Raised By Outcome
1 Loyalty Appointment of the Cardinal The Civil Service Jared of Highguard was reappointed
2 Pride Appointment of the Cardinal The Civil Service Ozren of Dawn was appointed
3 General Rewarding. The Court of Inquisitors request 10 thrones for the payment of informants who are currently investigating three fear cults within the Empire. Cuthbert Upheld 412 - 128
4 General Rewarding of the Indomitable Sun coven. In the last year the Indomitable Sun coven have summoned over 9000 warriors from the Summer Realm, raised seven frozen fortresses and magically enhanced warriors to fight for the Empire - an offensive force of, on average, a medium strength army every season and an additional defensive force of twice that (7000) every season. To maintain this magic, the coven consumes over 200 resources for rings and staves, costing over 25 Thrones, every season. Nadezhda Nadyovna Gremani leads the coven's artisans and raises the money for materials. Without her exceptional artisanry and determination this magical support would not be possible. This rewarding acknowledges her achievements and will allow the coven to continue this inspirational work. Elka Upheld 288 - 208
5 General Rewarding to recognise the Courage shown by Marad the Steel Wind, of Jekal and Garad, commander of the Ten Banners and scion of House Ogudai of Faraden. He knew the risks of a True Liao vision for him and faced them with Courage. May virtues guide his soul. His contribution to the knowledge of the Way will not be forgotten. Agnieszka Katrinova Prochnost Upheld 126 - 0
7 General A rewarding of 4 Thrones to purchase liao for use in the virtuous endeavours that face the priests of the Way in various nations, for example combating the Vyig in League cities. Tabor the Fool Not upheld 236 - 272
9 General As Imperial Chaplain Consular I exercise my power of Rewarding to withdraw 5 Thrones to fund the activities of my office: Purchase of liao and mana and hire of services. Hywel Summercrow Upheld automatically by power of the Imperial Chaplain Consular
10 Vigilance Recognition of Abraham of the Shattered tower for his extraordinary deeds and acts, his inspiration to others, and many other reasons. Azmon Not upheld 98 - 40; Greater Majority not achieved.
The Civil Service incorrectly declared this judgement to be upheld at the summit, however it was later confirmed that a greater majority of the Vigilance Assembly (estimated to be a total voting strength of 270) had not been achieved. The Civil Service apologises for this lapse of Vigilance.
15 General Veto of the motion to ban trade of Bourse materials with Asavean Archipelago: the motion is half-hearted and unprosperous, banning only the trade we most need, and not all trade, inflating the price of forts. Whilst banning trade with the slavers would damage the empire's economy, but would at least send a consistent message, this harms the economy without benefit. Soratio Not upheld 196 - 100 Greater Majority not achieved.

17 Marches The villages of Alum, Bregasland, represented by Mary Bregasland, Bloody Jack, Calum Roboto their physick and their mother, on suspicions of Heresy, Blasphemy and idolatry (the latter Mary only) for preaching the existence of the virtue of "Peace", and an "exemplar" of this false virtue. James Appleseeder Upheld 66 - 0
19 General Inquisition of the abnormally high number of civil servants under the Imperial Historical Research department that have retired early following the recent murders by the Whispering Gallery. The Inquisition will be held at the Winter Solstice. Celwyn Brackensong Not upheld 146-186
28 Courage The theoarchaeological evidence now tells us that the First Empress ought to be recognised as an Exemplar of Courage, while her precise doctrinal status is decided, in order to further inspire the Citizens to Virtue. Inspiration: Exemplars are defined above all by their capacity to Inspire. Whoever has been moved to strive for the Empire has been Inspired by the First Empress. Benevolence: Created the Imperial People. Salvation: Extension of the writ of the Synod. Legacy: Her Crown and Empire. Tullius Cascade Upheld 118 - 0 Greater Majority achieved.
This judgement has not yet been escalated to the General Assembly for the second step of the judgement of Recognition. Tullius Cascade may raise this judgement at a future summit.

Statements of Principle

The Imperial Synod made the following Statements of Principle:

8 General The Synod would benefit from being able to create, amend and remove "Articles of Faith".

22 Wintermark We wish to discourage aggressive mining of Skarsind land. It is understood that the people of Skarsind deserve to prosper from their holding. However, we believe that to continue mining is correctly being practices involves risks to Imperial lives that cannot be adequately justified.

Julius Cavita Upheld 74 - 54
