==Overview==
==Overview==
The [[Imperial Senate]] governs the Empire, and its authority extends to all areas of Imperial life not already covered by the other houses of government. Each summit the [[senator|senators]] meet several times to deliberate and vote on the [[Senate motion|motions]] they have raised.
After the summit the civil service enact those motions, and ensure a public record of each is made available to the citizens of the Empire. This page lists all the motions raised during the summit, along with the [[Senate announcement|announcements]] made by citizens with [[Imperial title|Imperial titles]]. In each case, the motion and its effects are summarized including the wording; who proposed and seconded it; whether it passed or not; whether any funds were disbursed to support it; and what the outcome of the motion will be.
Many motions (especially the [[commission|commissions]]) also have a ''Further Details'' section that provides a link to a wiki page dealing specifically with that motion in more detail, any commentary from the [[Scrutiny|Constitutional Court]], progress on commissions, or expanded information about the outcome of the motion.

Creating at the request of healers and herbalists of Wintermark a position for its holder, recognised and acknowledge across the Mark via the new Imperial Title - the "Woundbinder of the Mark." The Woundbinder of the Mark would have a responsibility to inspire the grimnir and healers of the nation and ensure the wounded heroes of Wintermark are well tended to.

"The Pelican Tower is the fifth project of Red Raven Holdings, a building society specialising in the construction of sinecures.
Sinecure Title: Curator of The Twilight Demesne (Pronounced ‘Deh-Mean’)


Places: The Nocturnal Gardens, The Corcuscate Bathhouse (colloquially ’the Baths’), The Shadowglass Pit
Upstream from Rodez and along the banks of the tranquil Gancio, the Pelican Tower stands like a lonely lighthouse, to guide travellers by both boat and road. The white-washed walls gleam in the sunlight and can be seen for miles amongst the vineyards and olive groves of northern Sarvos. Situated as it is along a natural ley line, it serves as both a source of natural mana and also as comfortable lodgings for the Carta Bellamarina, one of the most ancient of Caricomare Guilds. Carved above the entrance is Bellamarina’s Crest, a white pelican on a shield of Burgundy and Turquoise, representing the Carta’s motto “By Blood and Brine”.


Located in the woodlands of Skogei, famed for its mystical and mysterious nature, The Twilight Demesne is a partially curated garden adjoining a large bathhouse and containing an orc fighting pit.
The ground floor hosts a spacious meeting place for the Carta, filled with memorabilia from its past, leaving visitors in no doubt that of their exquisite handiwork in chandlery, sailmaking, ironwork, ropemaking and their history of investing in shipping. A beautifully hand-crafted model of one of the Carta’s largest ships adorns a table in the centre of the main lobby, carved with nautical patterns of compasses and distant shores. Within the back chambers, an old, stone fireplace dredged from the Bay of Catazar, dominates the room. It originally belonged to the old Guild Palace from the Caricomare which sank during the flooding 45 years ago and now stands as a monument to persistence. Paintings of the new Guild Palace embellish the walls.


The main structure of the estate is Coruscate Bathhouse (Coruscate meaning shining or twinkling), a broad single-level wooden building arranged around a central open space, with an open-air firepit. The building houses a structure unlike any other in Skarsind: public heated baths, filled with dimly-lit rooms of sunken mithral basins, into which hot water is poured and kept warm by controlled under-floor hearths. The purity of the mithril is crucial here, as many hot baths are supplemented with minerals and salts to scent the water and promote relaxation (kept in unreactive mithril urns). The baths can be small for private use, or large enough to hold entire households and groups of bannermates. The atmosphere here is relaxing but also convivial and lively, and groups are encouraged to make conversation with other attendees, meet new people and strengthen relationships. Here there is a feeling of reflection, transformation and change, as one feels revitalised by their time here, and many say they experience more vivid dreams and deeper sleep afterwards.
The upper levels can be reached by a graceful spiral staircase that winds its way along the inner walls, brining the weary traveller to the sleeping quarters. On the first landing visitors have to navigate their way past the watchful eye of Madame Delphine Emmanuelle Svorsa, the grand dame of the guild, within a floor to ceiling portrait. A cambion, she has an unmistakeable countenance. The sleeping quarters are comfortable and serviceable, a welcome retreat for Carta members to escape from the bustle of the city.


The Nocturnal Gardens themselves consist of many winding paths and copses of alpine trees, and while it is pleasant during the day, it comes alive at night. Iridescent Gloaming lanterns and light crystals strung across the boughs and scattered amongst the flowerbeds cast diffuse light across raised wooden walkways, deep dark pools, night-flowering plants and fragrant trees. In the crisp cold nights of Skarskind, when the temperature drops it carries with it the scent of pine and evergreens over the grounds, and perfumes the air. Rather than being a working herbal garden, it is a therapeutic place, designed to inspire the soul and instil creativity and inspiration as one navigates the mysterious winding paths and hidden alcoves..
Further still can be found the quarters of the custodian of the tower, responsible for its maintenance and collecting the valuable mana that can be found within. At the top of the tower, gleaming foci of mithril stream light blazing into a chamber at the very heart of the uppermost room. A constant glow emits from the chamber, christening its local name as the lantern room and further enhancing its image of a lighthouse. The mana pools within the central chamber and crystalises in a pure white variant, almost as if it had captured the sun."


Adjoining the baths and central to the garden is the Shadowglass Pit, a large obsidian standing-stone ritual pit open to the heavens, constructed of polished black stone and inlaid with mithril runes and constellations. Visitors can use this space for rituals, pit-fights, ceremonies and to commune with their ancestors however they see fit. Knowledgeable shaman and attendants of the Demesne provide guidance and coaching to enter a receptive state, and tutor visitors in the art of Night Magic. Passion, (particularly that of combat and conflict) and strong emotions in all their forms are vital triggers for experiencing the voices of the ancestors.


The combined magical energies produced by the interaction of the demesne with its visitors coalesce in the deep still pools of the Nocturnal Gardens, where mana and Vis precipitate in large iridescent crystals around the banks.
Cheers,
 
Jim

Sunday Senate SE384.jpg
The Imperial Senate is to govern the Empire.

Overview

The Imperial Senate governs the Empire, and its authority extends to all areas of Imperial life not already covered by the other houses of government. Each summit the senators meet several times to deliberate and vote on the motions they have raised.

After the summit the civil service enact those motions, and ensure a public record of each is made available to the citizens of the Empire. This page lists all the motions raised during the summit, along with the announcements made by citizens with Imperial titles. In each case, the motion and its effects are summarized including the wording; who proposed and seconded it; whether it passed or not; whether any funds were disbursed to support it; and what the outcome of the motion will be.

Many motions (especially the commissions) also have a Further Details section that provides a link to a wiki page dealing specifically with that motion in more detail, any commentary from the Constitutional Court, progress on commissions, or expanded information about the outcome of the motion.

Treasury

  • Imperial treasury during this season announced by the civil service at 2612 thrones and 2 crowns

Administrative Motions

Two administrative motions raised by the Constitutional Court were presented during the Spring Equinox.
