Statements of Principle

The Imperial Synod made the following Statements of Principle:

Number	Assembly	Statement of Principle	Priest	Outcome
11	Ambition	The Assembly of Ambition believes the Virtue Fund should be used to fund ambitious projects in addition to rewarding virtuous deeds.	Antônio Raul Calogne di Trivento	Upheld 54 - 0
13	Wintermark	The standard of Woven Rings Banner is an inspiration to Loyalty. It is a sign of our strength together, that the loyalty to each other as a nation is stronger than any curse.	Veli Garwaltiosn	Upheld 112 - 0
17	Pride	The Assembly of Pride recognises the greatest work of magic of Imperial magicians in casting the permanent enchantment "Bound by the Common Cause" and recognises the Pride of all those who contributed crystal mana for this achievement.	Nikodemus	Upheld 72 - 0
22	Highguard	Highguard, as part of the Empire, should give to the Imperial Orcs recognition for their virtuous efforts on behalf of the Empire, and offer them material reward at least as large as the full output of the Vigilant Swan. We should prioritise conquering them a home of their own, as all Imperial Citizens should have.	Ephron	Upheld 98 - 27
27	Varushka	A patriarch or matriarch should be elected by the National Assembly. They will organise and chair meetings of the Varushkan National Assembly.	Nikolovich Drakov	Upheld 126 - 0
28	Varushka	That Chernobog of Varushka, for his courage on the battlefield, his prosperity in sharing with and strengthening his nation, his loyalty for carrying the Mark of the Wolves. For this and acting as an example to others he is to be commended.	Vukomir	Upheld 136 - 0
32	General	An Exemplar is an individual demonstrating exceptional virtue, and fulfilling at least 4 of the 8 signs of the paragon, but without doctrinal status. While it may be the first step to transcendence, the Exemplar is defined above all by their capacity to inspire.	Yael of Felix's Watch	Upheld 339 - 30
33	Brass Coast	No individual or group has the right to sign a contract that is binding to individuals who are not yet born, as this is tantamount to slavery.	Soratio	Upheld 26 - 0
34	Prosperity	The Virtue Assembly of Prosperity, with the consent of the National Assembly of Wintermark, invites Soratio Seseer Del Toro to extend the spontaneous aura of prosperity known as the miracle of Hahnmark to all mines in that region and the adjacent region of Skarsind, using liao generously donated from the supply of Soratio Seseer Del Toro, Pendrad of Bjornholt and Jorma Steelhail of the Saker.	Ealstan	Upheld 64 - 0
35	Loyalty	The recognition of the virtuous acts, behaviour and conduct of Atla, Orc Chaplain of The Way, and her understanding and propagation of Loyalty within the Empire.	Lunetta Sanguineo	Upheld 131 - 10
36	General	The Gatekeepers Council feel very strongly that Imperial Orc Citizens should be recognised for their virtuous conduct and actions. As they are unable to experience a past-life vision through the allocation of a dose of Imperial Liao, we feel that they should be recognised for their Virtue by the appropriate assemblies.	Oberon Caeli Rezia di Tassato	Upheld 418 - 78
37	The Nine	The Assembly of Nine supports the creation of an embassy of the Sumaah Republic.	Elka Nadyanova Gremani	Upheld 7 - 0
41	Prosperity	That the Imperial Crown, in the absence of an Empress to wear it, should remain available to be seen and used by the citizens of the Empire to Inspire them to greater Virtue and for use in service to the Empire. We reject the Conclave's interdiction that the Imperial Crown be placed in the Conclave Vaults, as this would remove its availability to citizens, and magic going unused is unprosperous.	Edythe Dunne	Upheld 60 - 24
42	General	Rewards from the Virtue Fund should be made with a public announcement or presentation ceremony.	Palladius	Upheld 264 - 48
43	Varushka	To recognise the outstanding loyalty shown by the Winterfolk to the Orcish nation by their benevolent offer of Skarsind as a home nation for the Orcs.	Rooslan Stanvich Prochnost	Upheld 116 - 0
