|14|| General || According to Imperial Record, Inquisition is “investigate and publicize behaviour the Synod considers to potentially unvirtuous.”, however the current powers of Inquisition and Condemnation only allow for the effective and efficient publication of only religious crimes. To this end the Synod believes that the following powers should be added to the existing powers of the Synod to enable it to publicise the outcomes of Inquisitions and investigations: The powers of Castigation, Vindication and Penance are escalated from Inquisition in the same manner as Condemnation and the powers and responsibilities are detailed below: Castigation: The target is believed by the Assembly to be guilty of Unvirtuous deeds and nature and is formally rebuked. (The details of these acts and punishments are expected to be detailed within the Castigation statement but are not legally bound to do so).  Vindication: The target is believed by the Assembly to be innocent of any accused Unvirtuous acts levelled against them and/or to be of a Virtuous disposition and is formally lauded as Virtuous. (The details of their Virtue and actions undertaken are normally expected to be detailed within the Vindication statement but are not legally bound to do so). Penance: The target is believed by the Assembly to have engaged in both Virtuous and potentially Unvirtuous behaviour. The judgement formally states that the target must correct their behaviour and is considered “Under Penance” (the details of the target’s behaviour and future actions of Penance to undertake are expected to be detailed within the Judgement however the raising priest is not legally bound to do so). Please note: the language of these powers is worded in a manner that the Constitutional Court of the Empire has approved.

6 Marcher Condemnation. Escalation of Judgement 17 of Autumn Equinox 379YE. As seen by the people of Anvil a season ago, the villagers of Alham, Bregasland, are too unaware of the process of the Synod, such that they, in names: Mother Alice, Calum Roberto, Mary Bregasland and Blood Jack committed crimes of Blasphemy, and heresy, in the Wise and Vigilant attempt to increase the Empire's understanding of the Way of Virtue. It should be noted that they did show insight and understanding during the' formal Inquisition, but by then they had already publicly preached heretical and Blasphemous facts as Truth to the public.

Statements of Principle

The Imperial Synod made the following Statements of Principle:

Number Assembly Statement of Principle Priest Outcome
11 General That each individual Sign on the path to Exemplar or Paragonhood can be formally recognised by the Synod. This does not make them an Exemplar but recognises their achievements on their journey and can help inspire others to greater virtue. Agnieszka Prochnost Upheld 379 - 153
12 Dawn The Dawnish National Assembly supports actions taken by Nobles and Military Units in defence of The Barrens. Frederik Novarion Upheld 82 - 0
This statement of principle relates to the Crusade winds of fortune event.
13 Highguard We the people of the Highguard National Assembly believe that any National Bourse position holder in our Nation should use the resources they receive to support Imperial projects to ensure the ongoing Prosperity of the Empire. We will hold National Bourse position holders to account for how their resources are used. Zephram Upheld 254 - 0
14 General According to Imperial Record, Inquisition is “investigate and publicize behaviour the Synod considers to potentially unvirtuous.”, however the current powers of Inquisition and Condemnation only allow for the effective and efficient publication of only religious crimes. To this end the Synod believes that the following powers should be added to the existing powers of the Synod to enable it to publicise the outcomes of Inquisitions and investigations: The powers of Castigation, Vindication and Penance are escalated from Inquisition in the same manner as Condemnation and the powers and responsibilities are detailed below: Castigation: The target is believed by the Assembly to be guilty of Unvirtuous deeds and nature and is formally rebuked. (The details of these acts and punishments are expected to be detailed within the Castigation statement but are not legally bound to do so). Vindication: The target is believed by the Assembly to be innocent of any accused Unvirtuous acts levelled against them and/or to be of a Virtuous disposition and is formally lauded as Virtuous. (The details of their Virtue and actions undertaken are normally expected to be detailed within the Vindication statement but are not legally bound to do so). Penance: The target is believed by the Assembly to have engaged in both Virtuous and potentially Unvirtuous behaviour. The judgement formally states that the target must correct their behaviour and is considered “Under Penance” (the details of the target’s behaviour and future actions of Penance to undertake are expected to be detailed within the Judgement however the raising priest is not legally bound to do so). Please note: the language of these powers is worded in a manner that the Constitutional Court of the Empire has approved. In addition, the Imperial Inquisitor and the Cardinals fully support this. Jorma Steelhail Upheld 307 - 20
17 General After discussion on the subject over the Summer and Autumn summits, the Synod believes that there is value in spreading the Way of Virtue to the Magical Realms. Antonio di Sarvos Upheld 290 - 170
19 General The Pride Assembly acknowledges that a gatekeeper and cardinal from the same nation is unorthodox, but has faith that our chosen gatekeeper; Josephine Novarion will carry out her duties with diligence and probity. Franco i Sol Deverador i Erigo Upheld 101 - 86
24 General Humans are the greatest beings in all creation because of their Immortal Soul. It is the final destiny of all Human Souls to perfect their Virtue and transcend the Labyrinth of Ages. To destroy a Human Soul is therefore to deny that soul its true and rightful destiny. There is currently no law in the Empire which forbids the destruction of a Human Soul. In accordance with the points above, the Synod supports the creation of a new religious crime of Annihilation defined as Destroying, or endangering with destruction, a Human Soul. Isaac di Sarvos Upheld 358 - 36
25 Wintermark Thanmir, former Senator of Skarsind, has been so thorough in protecting the former Wintermark denizens of Skarsind, heeding our voices and concerns; he has been proud of his station and the people he represented, Vigilant in his conduct and shown great loyalty to the people of Wintermark. We the National Assembly recognise Thanmir's wisdom and wish to encourage his and our Prosperity. If we are awarded the Virtue Fund we entrust it to him to distribute to affected halls. Veikko Upheld 111 - 0
26 Dawn The Dawnish National Assembly supports actions taken by Nobles and Military Units in Glorious Battle and Crusade in The Barrens. The National Assembly appoints Frederik Novarion to lead this and support the military units using liao. Frederik Novarion Upheld 82 - 0

This statement of principle relates to the Crusade winds of fortune event.
27 Navarr We, the guides of the Navarr people, believe that the holder of a Navarr Bourse position must use the resources it provides for the Prosperity of the Empire as a whole. The Navarr National Assembly reserves the right to hold the holder of a position to account and revoke the position should we feel it is warranted. Madog Upheld 50 - 0
29 Courage The Assembly of Courage calls for a campaign of preaching in the territory of Reikos, teaching how the Virtue of Courage stands alongside the other Virtues as an inspiration against fear and ruin. The campaign will be led by Nina of Cantiarch's Hold and be supported by at least 25 vials of liao to inspire virtue through virtuous auras. Nina Upheld 142 - 0

This statement of principle relates to the A heap of broken images winds of fortune event.
34 General The General Assembly understands concerns amongst Jarmish Officials relating to freeing of slaves from the port of Rigia to the Empire.

38 Marcher The Marcher National Assembly sends the Loyalty priest Robert Wheelwright of Bregasland to the village of Alham, Bregasland, in order to weed out remains of a peace cult and to educate the villagers in the proper conduct of the Way of the Virtues and the' proceedings of the Synod. The priest will bring 10 liao to spread virtuous auras in the' area and remove peace auras. James Appleseeder Upheld 40 - 0

40 Wintermark Whilst we commend the courage and conviction of Dogri Thulebane and his fellows, we cannot condone the gathering of forces.

This statement of principle relates to the Falcon in winter winds of fortune event.
44 General Golan the Wanderer is false in his preaching that purifying the Empire to Courage will cause the First Empress to Return.

I shall come among the Citizens of Reikos to tell them of my vision of the Labyrinth and of the Land Without Tears. Yael of Felix's Watch Upheld 295 - 20
This judgement relates to the Conviction and The Courageous Priest Winds of Fortune events.
45 General The Imperial Synod recognises, with Pride, the efforts of the Hierro Clan in learning so much about The Way in just one season. We also acknowledge, with Vigilance and Wisdom, that the Hierro do not yet fully understand The Way and call upon them to embody Pride, Ambition, and Courage in aspiring to improve their interpretations of the Virtues. Elka Nadyanova Gremani will support them in this using the Experience of Pride and the example of the Paragon of Kethry. We look forward to seeing how the Hierro rise to this challenge and further earn the respect of the Empire. Elka Nadyanova Gremani Upheld 174 - 48
This statement of principle relates to the A heap of broken images winds of fortune event.

18 General An eternal who threatens us with a boon to harm the Empire is practising extortion. Those who pay an extorter with dragonbone lack Vigilance.
