385YE Summer Solstice Synod judgements

Overview

During the Summer Solstice 385YE Summit, the Imperial Synod raised TBC judgements.

Considerations

This is a placeholder page for content that PD are actively working on.

The following considerations should be borne in mind when bringing judgements before the Imperial Synod during the Summer Solstice.

• All Assemblies: Statements that prioritise the greater good over personal loyalties are less effective. This is permanent effect of the Eyes of Loyalty.
• All Assemblies: Statements that try to compel Loyalty will fail. This is permanent effect of the Eyes of Loyalty.
• All Assemblies: Revocations and Excommunications for disloyalty to the nation or Empire would risk causing dissent. This is permanent effect of the Eyes of Loyalty.
• All Assemblies: Any mandate that does not pass with a greater majority will have limited or no effect on Urizen or Varushka. It is not impossible that a mandate might lead to a response in one of the two nations, but it won't lead to any immediate consequences for the people of the nation. This lasts until some new turn of events changes things. Urizen Link. Varushka Link.
• Partner of Greatness: The National Assembly of Highguard can submit alternate mandates to mandates presented in any National Assembly. The National Assemblies of Urizen, The League, and Varushka are able to submit alternate mandates to those presented to the Highborn National Assembly. Lasts until the the end of the Winter Solstice 385YE. Link
• A Peerless Kinship: The Highborn National Assembly can pass a statement of principle to call on their nation to support Dawn, Imperial Orcs, the Marches, Wintermark, or Varushka. Lasts until the end of the Winter Solstice 385YE. Link

Change of Doctrine

The following change of doctrine was proposed during the Summer Solstice.

Judgement 52

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Kennett the Mummer
• Judgement: In light of historical research indicating that the Doctrine of Human Destiny was born of historical political convenience rather than spiritual truth, the Doctrine of Human Destiny has no place among the Doctrines of the Faith. Remove it.
• Outcome: Not upheld (539 - 1464)
• Notes: Refers to both the Doctrine of Human Destiny and the recent On the Doctrine of Human Destiny report compiled by the Department of Historical Research.

Statement of Principle

Judgement 3

• Assembly: Pride
• Raised By: Genoveva Barossa d'Apulian
• Judgement: The Apulian Orcs' virtue of Audacity says that "Power is a crown, learn to put it on." It teaches about self-belief, about knowing that you have the guts to follow through on your plans and make them manifest as virtuous action. This self-belief is core to the Imeprial Virtue of Pride. Pride teaches us to despise the half-hearted, the uncommitted, and the pretender. What is Audacity if not committing yourself fully to your goals and knowing you have what it takes to achieve them? Therefore we recognise that Audacity is Pride by another name and we welcome the Apulian ORcs to the Empire and the Way of Virtue.
• Outcome: Upheld (245 - 137)
• Notes: Contributing to the discussion around the Grendel "virtue" of Audacity.

Judgement 4

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Alfredo Barossa
• Judgement: The Freedom Heresy has repeatedly raised its head in the Empire, and I propose we cut that head off. Let us bring together interested parties from across the Assemblies of the Synod, as a special council reporting to the Assembly of Nine, to example: 1) Why Freedom is a Heresy not a Virtue. 2) Whether the actions of the Empire have, or have not, promoted Freedom. 3) Recommend to the Senate, Synod, and Conclave such measures as may be necessary including any clarification of Doctrine that may be needed. Let us publish these findings, teachings, and recommendations across the Empire, for all to see, and without fear or favour within the next year.
• Outcome: Upheld (1920-255)
• Notes: Contributes to the discourse around the malign spiritual presence of Anarchy.

Judgement 5

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Pickers Blackleaf
• Judgement: In response to Kimus' challenge the earliest records of people passing through the Labyrinth date back to the fall of Terunael.
• Outcome: Upheld (847-401)

Judgement 9

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Hector of Tropaion
• Judgement: Medea Ruth of Urizen. Zaccai of Highguard. Friar Robin of Whittle. Santana of the Kohan. No nation is immune to the temptations of Purity. Severus Blinding Sun and his blasphemous ilk are the poison in our fields, the danger within. Reject Purity; thwart these blasphemers before their teachings can take root.
• Outcome:
• Notes: Contributes to discussion of the malign spiritual presence of hatred. The four people mentioned have all faced serious accusations of spreading the "false virtue" under various names. The most recent is the Urizen priest Severus of the Blinding Sun offered to contribute to the proposed creation of an inspirational tomb for the sword scholar founder, Sulemaine i Taziel.

Judgement 11

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Tarquinius Ankarien
• Judgement: The most basic duty of the Empire is to ensure that the cultures that it consists of are not destroyed. The Spiral Urizeni are a culture formed before the Empire existed and if nothing is done while individuals will survive that culture will no longer exist. The Empire's first instinct upon finding this to be the case was not to ask "How can we prevent this?" but to debase ourselves with "Can we rename their home to erase their history too?" The Empire must correct its course before it makes a terrible mistake. We ask "How can the Spiral Urizeni exist alongside the League without sacrificing or assimilating their culture?" Nothing is off the table: new laws, great works, appraisals, rituals, constitutional change, eternals and more. We should consider any viable solution.
• Outcome: Upheld (1647-545)
• Notes: The statement talks about the situation in Spiral, and the status of the Urizeni citizens still living in the new League territory.

Judgement 14

• Assembly: Wintermark
• Raised By: Artis Greyholm
• Judgement: Hail to you General of the second army. Long has the Green Shields been the proving ground of the Steinr. From spiral to Sermersuaq, from empress to interregnum, heroically have you championed the nations boldest ideals. It is time we proved that heroism is the shield that holds, not just the blade that strikes. A heroes name can be forged in a single moment, or in a hundred seasons the hammer of the North (?) strikes a thousand blows to temper our skein. Iron Osric, you name is called into the Book of Heroes.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority(329-0)
• Notes: The Chronicle of Heroism is a list of heroic individuals maintained by the Wintermark National Assembly.

Judgement 17

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Solas of the Spire of the Waxing Sun
• Judgement: We recognise the importance of the work of the High Exorcist in combatting spiritual threats in the Empire and beyond. We call on the Senate to reinstate their stipend at the previous level unless and until a suitable long-term sponsor for regalia for this position comes forward.
• Outcome: Upheld (1932-219)
• Notes: The High Exorcist advises the Military Council on the use of liao ceremonies on the battlefield. They were one of the titles effected by the Constitutional Court ruling that automatic rewarding was not constitutional, and that the Imperial Senate might consider reinstating their seasonal stipend.

Judgement 18

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Earl Galeas du Maurisol
• Judgement: The Eyes of Loyaltyshould be reworked such that any member of the Loyalty Assembly can raise a judgement requesting the Eyes of Loyalty be focused on a mandate. This will allow the entire assembly to be involved in the decision and allow for competing opinions where currently there can only be one option.
• Outcome: Not upheld, withdrawn.
• Notes: The Eyes of Loyalty (in this context) is a unique power wielded by the Cardinal of Loyalty, to encourage the Loyal to support a specific mandate should it call to the truth of their hearts.

Judgement 19

• Assembly: Urizen
• Raised By: Herminius House of the Wanderer
• Judgement: Interrogate the world through your blade and your mind. You are in constant dialogue with the world around you, and it is from this dialogue that you improve yourself. By studying the reactions of others in response to the proposal of consecrating Sulemaine's tomb, I have come to question the legacy of her personal beliefs and how she enacted them. Wisdom is finding the right questions. Does Sword Scholar philosophy have value when separated from the woman who inspired it? It is clear to me that the time has come to separate the woman from the teachings. I call on all virtuous Sword Scholars to no longer venerate the actions of Sulemaine. If you love a thing, be prepared to destroy it. Only then can you be truly strong enough to protect it.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (374-16)
• Notes: Refers to the teachings of Sulemaine, the founder of the sword scholar movement, and the question of whether to consectrate an inspirational tomb in her name.

Judgement 20

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Alessi of the Navigators
• Judgement: Despise that which threatens what you watch over - there is no virtue in hoarding information that could be used to keep souls from harm Disseminating information to those who can appropriately use it is important and should be persued with any means at our disposal.
• Outcome: Upheld (1446-257)

Judgement 25

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Sister Julliette of Balthazar's Vineyard
• Judgement: The vallorn remains a persistent spiritual threat to the souls of the Empire, therefore Vigilance demands that Highguard remain vigilant and watchful of its growth in our lands and beyond. Virtue demands that we construct the Greenwatch to aid in this fight.
• Outcome: Upheld (220-0)
• Notes: The Greenwatch is a "watchtower" against the threat of the Brocéliande vallorn, proposed by the eternal Lord Rain during the Spring Equinox.

Judgement 26

• Assembly: Imperial Orcs
• Raised By: Skywise Gralka
• Judgement: We are born of blood and sand the liberated people of Dubtraig and Beoraidh and we are here, witness our pride. See the worth of our sept as we claim a name to represents our people from this day forth known us as the Sannite sept. This word is of our ancestors born in the gladiator's collsieum it represents us all.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (78-13)
• Notes: This statement addresses the orc slaves of the Grendel, liberated during the raid on Dubhtraig following the Autumn Equinox 391YE, and the attack on Beoraidh following the Winter Solstice 382YE.

Judgement 30

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Rafael Barossa di Tassato
• Judgement: The vallorn is a significant spiritual threat to the Empire. It traps human and orc souls, dooming those who die in battle. The Winter Eternal Kaela has offered her Gift to the Empire, and it has been used to good effect by those captured by the Druj, letting them escape torment through painless death. She offers to extend that boon to those facing the horrors of the vallorn, keeping them from an eternity trapped as a husk. She will not do so unless the General assembly invite her with a greater majority, sending the message that this intervention is welcome. The Archmage of Winter and the Grandmaster of the Sevenfold Path have investigated Kaela's Gift, as have many others. It is their firm view, and that of the Conclave, that accepting Kaela's Gift does not prevent one from entering the Labyrinth or crossing the Howling Abyss. We should accept her offer.
• Outcome: Upheld (1935-249)
• Notes: The Gift of Kaela is a power offered by the Lady of the Grim Host to any Imperial citizen fighting the Druj, allowing them to choose painless death if they fall into the hands of the Mallum orcs. In Winter 383YE, the eternal offered to extend her gift to those fighting the vallorn in the four territories where it dwells so they could avoid becoming vallornspawn husks.

Judgement 32

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Mel Bleak
• Judgement: The whole of the Empire is at war with the Whisper Gallery, and anyone who helps them needs rooting out in any nation. Marcher threshers are experts at finding wrong'uns, but shouldn't stop at the borders of their nation. The General Assembly agrees all righteous folk of the Empire should bring themselves to bear in this virtuous battle. Take example from the inspired Vigilance of the threshers and work with them to hunt down the vermin of the Shadow Courtiers - across the entire Empire.
• Outcome: Upheld (1024-436)
• Notes: The Whisper Gallery are a group of eternals from the Night realm who have a long history of threatening Imperial scholars. They are under the enmity of the Imperial Conclave, and recent developments in the Marches have seen the threshers of that nation express an interest in dealing with them that goes beyond the current war of whispers.

Judgement 34

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Corey Wayfinder
• Judgement: A key part of the Vigilance of all Navarr is to be ever ready to fight the vallorn at any point. Let us strive to be ready and focus on preparing ourselves. We call on Navarr to work to grow the army, Isaella's Dance
• Outcome: Upheld (296-30)
• Notes: Isaella's Dance is a Navarr army with a quality that (among other things) gives it an advantage to fight the vallorn.

Judgement 36

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Brother Lysimachus
• Judgement: A judgement of rewarding should be to reward Virtuous actions that have been done, not to pay someone for things they haven't yet done, and may never do. It should be used for the purpose intended and not to fund whatever scheme people want Thrones for, often leaving the virtuous unrewarded from an empty fund. The constitutional court has stated title holders can no longer withdraw from it to fund their future actions, we should follow this example and only reward the virtuous actions that have already been accomplished. Or to put it bluntly, the virtue fund is not your sugar daddy, money mommy, prosperity parent, or petty cash fund, so stop treating it as such!
• Outcome: Upheld (1246-622)
• Notes: This statement discussed the virtue fund, and touches on the Constitutional Court ruling that the automatic rewarding previously used by certain titles was not constitutional.

Judgement 38

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Yevanshka
• Judgement: The General Assembly endorses the creation and appointment of National Inquisitors to the Inquisitional Court. In Summer 383 the General Assembly concluded that national beliefs and customs that fall outside of, but do not contradict, the Doctrines of the Faith are acceptable expressions of the Way. Where practice of these national customs threatens or enhances a citizen's path on the Way of Virtue, it is the Priests of the National Assembly that are best placed to investigate. The General Assembly thus believes that National Inquisitors should be appointed by National Assemblies to the Inquisitorial Court and tasked with ensuring that inquisitions around national matters are performed with accountability and transparency.
• Outcome: Upheld (1724-529)
• Notes: The Inquisitorial Court is a body established by the Senate consisting of the Imperial Inquisitor and the eight virtue inquisitors. The General assembly concluded during the Summer 383YE summit that certain practices in each nation brought into question by Grey Pilgrims were not in conflict with the Doctrines of the Faith.

Judgement 44

• Assembly: Ambition
• Raised By: Corrin Arrowsbane
• Judgement: The Aeslings of Wintermark have the bold ambition of being the first to explore and map the sea of sorrows. I believe this is a great and worthy endeavour of much virtue, that would greatly support the Empire.
• Outcome: Upheld (258-0)

Judgement 45

• Assembly: Dawn
• Raised By: Ser Aldwyn of House Rondell
• Judgement: Dawn and the Marches, together we recognise our commonality in our Loyalty. Long have we been allied in the military council. Yeofolk all, be inspired by our bonds to create something great between our nations.
• Outcome: Upheld (199-16)

Judgement 49

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Ashborn Atla
• Judgement: Mana the orc asks thatwhy is the Empire making profit off slavery? Without looking after the newly freed. Spoils of war should fund a named priest to greet and support newly arrived liberated (individuals or groups) in Anvil. Let the Senate know this is the will of the Synod!
• Outcome: Upheld (1183-392)

Judgement 50

• Assembly: Freeborn
• Raised By: Martha i Guerra
• Judgement: Riqueza taught us that living a life in pursuit of decency, integrity, and justice is more important than living a life obsessed with virtue.
• Outcome: Not upheld (68-134)
• Notes: Riqueza is one of the historical founders of the Brass Coast whose ideals continue to inspire Freeborn to this day.

Judgement 53

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Elkiah
• Judgement: At 385 Spring Solstice, public claims were made that the Shattered Tower is in thrall to eternals. We have always stood against the eternals, and our proud of our history of thwarting their machinations. However, Vigilance and Pride demand we prove it. Therefore, the Tower opens its doors to Synod for inquisition to prove we are free of eternal influence and cleave to the Way and its promise of salvation. The following Tower members submit to scrutiny with Pride: Synnis, Elkiah, Solomon, Nekoda, Rinnah, Dago, Vashti, Gideon, Anaea.
• Outcome: Upheld (999-101)
• Notes: The Shattered Tower are a prominent Highborn chapter from Reikos.

Judgement 54

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Derwyn Tendfallen
• Judgement: The Navarr national assembly recognises the efforts made by Wyl Brackensong, Brocéliande's Broker, to ensure the creation of the artefact 'The Broker's Tear' to be provided as regalia to the General of Isaella's Dance. Let this item serve as an inspiration to the Navarr in the hands of our Generals, and a testament to the virtue and the legacy of the Brokers of Brocéliande.
• Outcome: Upheld (246-0)
• Notes: Both the Imperial Senate and the Imperial Conclave can declare an item as regalia of a specific title via amendment or endowment, respectively.

Judgement 55

• Assembly: Marches
• Raised By: Creighton Blackewater
• Judgement: The Marches and Dawn, together we recognise our commonality in our Loyalty. Long have we been allied in the military council. Yeofolk all, be inspired by our bonds to create something great between our nations.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (160-0)

Judgement 58

• Assembly: Dawn
• Raised By: Lady Eleanor Novarion
• Judgement: Dawn admires the Courage, Pride, and Prosperity of the Free Folk. When their pilgrimage across the Empire comes to an end, Dawn would welcome them, should they choose to settle in our nation.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (273-0)
• Notes:The Free Folk is the name taken on by a group of refugees from the Asavean Archipelago, who claim to be followers of the Way, but their particular take on the religion, and their peculiar paragons and exemplars, have caused some tension in the Empire. Their [Folklore|recent pilgrimage]] across the Empire is nearing an end.

Judgement 60

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Irada von Temeschwar
• Judgement: The inspiration of Berechiah drives Vigilance pilgrims and priests to actively tear out the poison that threatens the Empire. We the Vigilance assembly encourage the creation of an inspirational monument consecrated with true liao at his Basilica in Bastion so that his inspiration in rooting out threats can be felt across the Empire.
• Outcome: Upheld (230-0)
• Notes: Berechiah is a sometimes controversial exemplar of Vigilance. A greater majority is usually needed for there to be any chance of an opportunity to use true liao to create an inspirational location such as this.

Judgement 62

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Allana Thurnweaver
• Judgement: The Navarr national assembly recognises the efforts made by Wyl Brackensong, Brocéliande's Broker, to ensure the creation of the artefact 'The Broker's Tear', to be provided as regalia to the General of Isaella's Dance. Let this item serve as an inspiration to the Navarr in the hands of our Generals, and a testament to the virtue and the legacy of the Brokers of Brocéliande.
• Outcome: Withdrawn

Judgement 64

• Assembly: Wintermark
• Raised By: Aethelric the Grounded
• Judgement: Heroism takes many forms and should be acknowledged and celebrated. One such example was during the Spring summit of 385YE, where Henrik Hearts Keeper led multiple covens from multiple nations to undertake a spectacular arcane projection. The prosperity since experienced by the entire Empire is a direct result of this arcane projection, and it is most definitely Heroic to demonstrably practice Virtue as well as encourage it in others (in this case, Ambition, Pride, and Prosperity). The names of the covens and individuals involved are numerous but the Stormcrows and the Priests of Wintermark wish to congratulate them all and encourage them to speak to their Crows and Scops so that their deeds may be skein-woven and toasted in song and story.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (309-0)
• Notes: This judgement appears to refer to the Bounty of the Brilliant Broker enchantment that fell across the entire Empire following the Spring Equinox.

Judgement 65

• Assembly: Pride
• Raised By: Vespasian of Tropaion
• Judgement: The Virtuous do not demean others, they inspire them to greatness. The current system of military council commendations is unfit for purpose. It demeans the martial achievements of Heroes through the Sentinel Gate by being used by the Military Council for self-congratulatory purposes, and by entire nations being commended at once, rather than highlighting individual acts of battlefield Virtue. It fails to inspire Citizens beyond Anvil as said commendations are not recorded by the Civil Service. We call upon the Empire's Pride Priests, the Civil Service, and the wider Imperial population to strive for excellence in developing a better system of acknowledging martial achievements through the Sentinel Gate on both major and minor Conjunctions, by creating an Imperial title that is responsible for celebrating martial excellence, and ensuring it is properly recorded.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (341-35), Greater Majority threshold for this judgement was 339

Judgement 70

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Lady Josephine of Adina's Charge
• Judgement: The Highborn Anti-lineage sentiment is based on distrust of the Realms, but there are countless examples of how these attitudes have driven people into the arms of those they claim to protect them from. We have a long tradition of swearing a duty of service. Let us take inspiration from our Navarri friends, and officially add swearing to be vigilant against the threat of the Realms to the Magister's training and trust them in dealing with the realms. This will ensure we keep our vigilance and deal with the actual concerns instead of catching bystanders in the crossfire. Lineaged are Imperial Citizens and treating them as pawns of the Realms is part of the problem.
• Outcome:
• Notes: Thanks to the actions of the Highborn assembly, prejudice against the lineages is significantly declining among their people.

Judgement 77

• Assembly: Marches
• Raised By: Jedediah Boon
• Judgement: The Jotun raided the Mournwold, sending the ferocious Banner of the Howling Bear to take our Mithril. The miners of the Singing Caves dug in their heels; outnumbered, they fought a viscious and bloody battle in the dark, grueling tunnels of their home. Miners do not just work the land: they defend it with Pride. Their calls for suffrage have long fallen on deaf ears, but when the Marches calls, they rise! The Marcher National Assembly exalts the miners of the SInging Caves for their Pride, Courage, and Loyalty to the Nation. We are the guts of the Empire, and we have Iron in our Veins!
• Outcome: Upheld (150-20), the threshold for a greater majority for this judgement was 157.
• Notes: The Banner of the Howling Bear raided the Mournwold after the Spring Equinox this year. The question of "miner suffrage" is being extensively discussed in the Mourn this season.

Judgement 78

• Assembly: Urizen
• Raised By: Leonarius Ankarien
• Judgement: The Urizen national assembly reject the offer made by Severus of the Blinding Sun. The false virtue of "inviolate perfection" is just that. False. Ambition is the third pillar of our nation, we seek the perfection of this world and know that we will achieve perfection when we finally ascend. The false virtue of "Purity" is a trap, it restricts the mind turning only inwards for inspiration and rejecting the wisdom of other nations or peoples. It has no place in Urizen. While it is true that in dire circumstances some citizens have found solace in this false virtue, they should be guided back to the Way, not tolerated or venerated.
• Outcome: Upheld (188-0)
• Notes: A rebuttal to the Urizen priest Severus of the Blinding Sun, this statement also contributes to discussion of the malign spiritual presence of hatred

Judgement 79

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Telyn Stormtree
• Judgement: The Gardens of Glory in Therunin allows followers of Anarchy a regular supply of liao and creates a potential threat to our Nation and Empire - it should never have been repaired. We call on Vigilant Navarri to follow Berechia's excample and end this threat before it can harm the Empire. Tear down the Gardens so thoroughly that it may not be repaired again.
• Outcome: Not upheld (96-222)
• Notes: The Garden of Glory is a contentious commission overseen by the Keeper of the Garden. A lost garden used for creating liao, there are concerns that some of the liao may be going to the briar allies of the Great Forest Orcs in Therunin, open practitioners of the malign spiritual force of Anarchy. The briars have thus far shown little interest in spreading their teachings with the Empire.

Judgement 80

• Assembly: Marches
• Raised By: Nigel Hornbeam
• Judgement: You don't pick a patch of dirt and just start digging for ore; you get an experienced miner to guide your hand. The Marcher National Assembly supports Jedediah Boon's undertaking to examine the events of the Ore Hills Rebellion of 326YE - and the Proud Marchers who lead it, with the intent of revealing their names to the Empire. Only then can we know what Signs they may have shows, and perhaps recognise them for their Virtue.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (194-0)
• Notes: Both the Minister of Historical Research and the Lepidean Librarian have the ability to commission historical research into past events such as this.

Judgement 81

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Teleri Thornweaver
• Judgement: The Navarr national assembly recognises the efforts made by Trystan Brackensong, Brocéliande's Broker, to ensure the creation of the artefact 'Trystan's Lament', to be provided as regalia to the General of the Black Thorns. Let this item serve as inspiration to the Navarr in the hands of our Generals, and a testament to the virtue and the legacy of the Brokers of Brocéliande.
• Outcome: Upheld (282-0)
• Notes: Both the Imperial Senate and the Imperial Conclave can declare an item as regalia of a specific title via amendment or endowment, respectively.

Judgement 83

• Assembly: Prosperity
• Raised By: Alexei
• Judgement: The assembly recognises Fidelity is a route to Prosperity. We invite the Apulian Orcs to visit our congregations of Prosperity in the Empire, so that they may further their understanding of Prosperity.
• Outcome: Upheld (259-60), the greater majority threshold for this judgement was 276.
• Notes: Contributing to the discussion around the Grendel "virtue" of Fidelity.

Judgement 85

• Assembly: Prosperity
• Raised By: Vera
• Judgement: We call upon the Apulian Orcs to visit prosperity congregations across the Empire. They should use this opportunity to reflect on their undestanding of Prosperity and the learn from our understanding which is informed by centuries of evidence and access to liao which has always been unavailable to them.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (335-0)
• Notes: Contributing to the discussion around the Apulian Orc understanding of the virtue of Prosperity.

Judgement 86

• Assembly: Freeborn
• Raised By: Luca i Taziel i Riqueza
• Judgement: A spark, from family hearth and pyre. Carried by voice on wind to kohan's fire. Becoming flame. Burning honest to everything they will ever be. Terrifying, splendid, incandescent, free. A thousand words a thousand thoughts writhing grasping struggle forth to bind an inferno to form it can never take. Until embers. A memory where fires shone. Warmth for those who linger on. Hotter still than what was gone. And finally, ash. Ash a claw for jealous throats, ash a scent to linger with the loved, ash a new voice carried on the wind. Let Hanon's true conviction inspire the kohan to burn as Falcons ever brighter Sparks, flames, embers, and ash.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (186-16)
• Notes: Relates to the eternal Janon's interest in the Burning Falcon.

Judgement 88

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Nathair Autumngale
• Judgement: Navarr, we are the blood of the Empire. Once more has new territory and new peoples been brought into the fold of the Empire. As with our Varushkan cousins in Ossium, now too with the Barrens should we seek ways to aid our Dawnish allies in exploring new lands and reaching out to the peoples who inhabit them. Consider how we might help people traveling to and living within the Barrens find their place in the Great Dance, in the Empire, and within the way of Virtue.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (308-0)
• Notes: Refers to the situation for the people of Dawn in the Barrens.

Judgement 91

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Exarch Luke of the Navigators of Virtue
• Judgement: We, the Highborn have sent our magisters and wayfarers to aid the Suranni refugees in settling in the Empire, but we know the job is not complete until all are brought into the Empire and the Way. There are many still suffering under the tyranny of the Iron Confederacy. We must seek people and opportunities that allow us to create safe escape routes for these refugees.
• Outcome: Upheld (508-12)
• Notes: The Suranni wizards who have escaped the Iron Confederacy to the Empire have begun to set up new homes with the aid of the Navarr. They remain resistant to efforts to encourage them to embrace the Way.

Judgement 93

• Assembly: Prosperity
• Raised By: Chaunticleer Words
• Judgement: In Winter 384YE this assembly unanimously provided a greater majority to Viviane Knotes' request that we seek out ways to spend money to increase the reach of our congregations and strive for greater efforts in salvation. Unfortunately, this was still during the period that sword scholars stiffled the ability of virtue assemblies to operate. Now, free from their influence, we once again ask the question of the Prosperity assembly: If foresters and miners can find those willing to work their properties for coin to gather more materials - surely this assembly should be able to find the ways and means to do do the same for efforts to spread the virtues! The Words, Numbers, Figures, and Knotes organisation remains prepared to purchase the salvation of souls.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (307-0)
• Notes: Seems to refer to a statement of principle from the Winter solstice, and the situation with sword scholar and devotees of Wisdom which was broadly resolved following the Winter Solstice 383YE.

Judgement 95

• Assembly: League
• Raised By: Prince Bishop Jonah von Holberg
• Judgement: We are rightly Proud of our cities and defined by our universities, but it is time to recognise our academics, our curators, our engineers, our philosophers, and our experts. Let us elevate the title of scholar to sit alongside Bishop, Bravo, Mountebank, et al. All with the purpose of promoting this as a route out of the academy that would sit proudly alongside all the arch-typical careers in the League.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (321-61)

Judgement 96

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Fintan Nighthaven
• Judgement: Benson's Orchard is now home to an inspirational tomb for Joshua Benson, Exemplar of Vigilance. Navarr know the merits of practical, communcal, Vigilance to protect the Empire; every tarry, striding, wayhouse and steading is testament to this. The Navarr Assembly encourage all Vigilant Navarr to make a pilgrimage to the tomb and be inspired by Major Benson; may our spears of Vigilance respond to his ringing shield of alarm.
• Outcome: Upheld (284-16)
• Notes: The inspirational tomb of Joshua Benson - Benson's Orchard - was established near Pickham Monastery during the Summer Solstice.

Judgement 98

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Eirlys Blackhawk
• Judgement: The Gardens of Glory in Therunin allows followers of Anarchy a regular supply of liao and creates a potential threat to our Nation and Empire. We encourage Navarri citizens to be alert to this danger. The promotion of Anarchy is Blasphemous and any auras should be reported, removed, and their creator identified for condemnation.
• Outcome: Upheld (284-26)
• Notes: The Garden of Glory is a contentious commission overseen by the Keeper of the Garden. A lost garden used for creating liao, there are concerns that some of the liao may be going to the briar allies of the Great Forest Orcs in Therunin, open practitioners of the malign spiritual force of Anarchy. The briars have thus far shown little interest in spreading their teachings to the Empire.

Judgement 102

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Fenrys Whiteshroud
• Judgement: Despise that which threatens what you watch over. The construction of the "Gardens of Glory" by the Senate has allowed access for Anarchy cultists to liao. In doing so the Senate are allowing the spread and promotion of anarchy in Therunin and across the Empire. We call upon the Senate and Imperial citizens to tear down these gardens until such tie that none of them follow the blasphemous teachings of Anarchy.
• Outcome: Upheld (169-20)
• Notes: The Garden of Glory is a contentious commission overseen by the Keeper of the Garden. A lost garden used for creating liao, there are concerns that some of the liao may be going to the briar allies of the Great Forest Orcs in Therunin, open practitioners of the malign spiritual force of Anarchy. The briars have thus far shown little interest in spreading their teachings to the Empire.

Judgement 103

• Assembly: Dawn
• Raised By: Lorelei DuFroste
• Judgement: A condemnation in the Synod is a powerful tool with serious repercussions, potentially charges by magistrates and excommunication. In judgement number six this summit Genevova in their final paragraph utilises supposition and false deductions to further their agenda. Dawn strongly believes a condemnation should only be presenting facts of an allegation as "might" does not suffice.
• Outcome: Upheld (209-0)
• Notes: Refers to Judgement 6.

Judgement 104

• Assembly: Imperial Orcs
• Raised By: Bloodcrow Knott
• Judgement: The souls of the Mourn orcs are in danger. While the Marchers' efforts to accept the Mourn orcs as their own are praiseworthy, more has to be done. The Mourn orcs are still suffering under the lies of the Jotun, deceived into throwing their souls into the Abyss. The Mourn orcs do not need to lay down the plough to pick up a sword if this is not in their nature - a Legend soaked in rhubarb is as much a Legend as one soaked in blood. However, a Legend not sought is a Legend not to be. To cross the Abyss we get no second chances. We encourage the Marches to throw away the lies of the Jotun instead o the souls of their orc siblings. We encourage the Mourn orcs to listen to their ancestors for guidance and seize their Legend for themselves in this, their - one life.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (78-0)
• Notes: The Mournwold Orcs are former Jotun thralls who disagree with the Imperial Orcs and Doctrineon the matter of reincarnation.

Judgement 105

• Raised By: Kaspar Yakovitch von Holberg
• Judgement: The raising of the walls of Holberg which is currently in progress offers a chance to create as part of the walls spaces for citizens to remember their dead, those who have given their lives for their city, nation or the Empire. We, the Bishops of the League, endorse and support the creation of such memorial spaces as part of Holbergs walls, whether through memorial arches, statues, inscriptions, or plaques.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (481-0)
• Notes: The improvement of the Walls of Holberg fortification is ongoing.

Judgement 106

• Notes: Relates to the questions around Urizeni citizens remaining in the new League territory of Spiral.

Judgement 107

• Assembly: Ambition
• Raised By: Sefia von Holberg
• Judgement: he League holds Spiral. It is thought, in the League and in Urizen, that this requires a Reckoning from the League to Urizen and the people of Spiral. Defining and Resolving this Reconking would be an Ambitious act. This is a fraught state with no quick and no easy solutions. However the greatest forest is felled one tree at a time. Both nations should make it their Ambition to solve this obligation.
• Outcome: Upheld (204-12)
• Notes: Relates to the questions around Urizeni citizens remaining in the new League territory of Spiral.

Judgement 109

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Merrari of the Navigators of Virtue
• Judgement: For one reason or another, lineage hasbeen removed from our stories to focus on the lesson at the centre. In doing so we have unintentionally taught a far different lesson - that Lineage has no place in our history or virtue. I call upon the Stewards of the Dead, Archivists, and chapters to search their journals and histories for virtuous Highborn, who bore their lineage with pride, and restore the Lineage that has been erased from our history to show that the Lineaged have a place in our Empire and the Way.
• Outcome: Upheld (451-82)

Judgement 110

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Caoimha Tendfallen
• Judgement: The National Assembly calls on all Navarri heading into Sarangrave to hunt down the vile Druj Het Serra Grubfeast. Any attempt to weaponise the taint of the Vallorn cannot be allowed to stand.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (378-0)
• Notes: Serra or (Sarra) Grubfeast was the former Druj governor of Dawnguard before the Dawnish rebellion drove the orcs of the Mallum out the region. Their wherabouts are not commonly known.

Judgement 113

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Abrham
• Judgement: The Highborn national assembly appeals to the citizens of Necropolis. We call citizens to come forward to tell the Seventh Wave and accompanying priests what information was given to the Grendel. We need to knowthe level of danger we are in. The National Assembly want to assure the people they will be treated fairly and in accordance to Imperial law. Some Highborn priests will accompany the army to ensure this loyalty to your siblings is worth more than coin in your pocket. There is a path for redemption for unvirtuous deeds though recognising your loyalties.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (695-0)
• Notes: Refers to the Grendel espionage ring uncovered by the Seventh Wave in Necropolis.

Judgement 115

• Assembly: Wintermark
• Raised By: "Shacklebreaker" Thanmir Hrafnar
• Judgement: The people of Wintermark are familiar with the pain and challenges associated with the transfer of a territory to another Imperial nation.

• Outcome: Upheld (204-10)
• Notes: Seems to refer to both the situation in Spiral, and the status of the Urizeni citizens still living in the new League territory. and the recent history of Skarsind

• Assembly: The Way
• Raised By: Levi of the Navigators
• Judgement: In light of the revelation undergone by Prince Vanja of Votika, of the Principalities of Jarm, we encourage priests of the Empire to work with Ambassador Ariadne to travel to the Principalities of Jarm to further spread the way amongst it's citizens. "The virtuous inspire others to greateness," fourth tenet of Pride.
• Outcome: Upheld (189-0)
• Notes: The Principalities of Jarm embrace religious freedom but see spiritual matters as highly personal. Diplomatic relations with the Principalities are very strained at this time.

Judgement 118

• Assembly: Pride
• Raised By: Lucianna Valesi di Sarvos
• Judgement: The Pride assembly recognises Audacity as a noble quality that combines elements of both Pride and Ambition. After discussion with the Apulian Orcs, we believe Audacity can be a lens through which they can start to engage with the virtue of Pride.
• Outcome: Upheld (304-0)
• Notes: Contributing to the discussion around the Grendel "virtue" of Audacity. See also Judgement 126

Judgement 119

• Assembly: Dawn
• Raised By: Thomas deGauvin
• Judgement: The conquest of the Barrens was not solely a Dawnish achievement, nor should the celebration be. Dawn wishes to extend our gratitude to all those nations whose armies formed the Steel Causeway and subsequent campaign, as well as those that fought with us in Spring - and in particular our cousins the Marchers who chose to head to battle from Dawn. As long as the Barrens remains Dawnish we ask the households of Dawn to welcome visiting soldiers of those nations; as they rest between campaigns, with a spirit of celebration and extend a welcome to them into our tournies. They should partake of our festivities and try themselves against us. We hope the experience improves their prowess, and whatever prizes they win assist them in the future. Let them leave Dawn with any advantage we can give them in their next battle, better prepared than if they rested anywhere else.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (227-0)
• Notes: The Steel Causeway was the path through the middle of the Barrens secured following the SPring Equinox 384YE.

Judgement 120

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Sister Keziah of the Suns of Couros
• Judgement: Since promoting false virtues is blasphemy and Anarchy, also known as freedom is a false virtue and potential blasphemy is grounds for inquisition therefore we the Synod affirm the promotion of Anarchy is Blasphemous and therefore those who exult or glorify Freedom should be called to Inquisition to account for their words.
• Outcome: Upheld (1267-305)
• Notes: Contributes to discourse around the malign spiritual presence of Anarchy.

Judgement 124

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Olyvan of Esther's Sanctum
• Judgement: Lineaged of the Highborn do not be complacent - ever strive for excellent in that which you are proud. Each day, we walk the paths of Virtue, shining as examples to all of the Empire as we can counter the demands of our blood with virtue and certainty. Lineaged siblings, we were not meant for inaction, apathy, or the idea virtue is eaasy. We were meant for greatness and that is the path we must choose.
• Outcome: Upheld (338-0)

Judgement 126

• Assembly: Ambition
• Raised By: Lia Adelaar von Holberg
• Judgement: The Ambition assembly recognises Audacity as a noble quality that combines elements of both Ambition and Pride. After discussion with the Apulian ORcs, we believe Audacity can be a lens through which they can continue to engage with the virtue of Ambition.

• Notes: Contributing to the discussion around the Grendel "virtue" of Audacity. See also Judgement 118.

Judgement 128

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Raewyn Eternal
• Judgement: The Loyalty Assembly finds that Fidelity has commonalities with Loyalty. There is no conflict if the expression of that Loyalty is a true reflection of what is in that person's heart.

Judgement 132

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Jared of the Suns of Couros
• Judgement: Highborn| Recognise the benevolent vigilance of your general of the Seventh Wave, brother Barachiel of Adina's Charge.

• Outcome: Upheld (399-24)
• Notes: The Seventh Wave recently uncovered a Grendel espionage ring in Necropolis.

Judgement 134

• Assembly: League
• Raised By: Serrusto Caeli Rezia di Tassato
• Judgement: The actions that the League takes at this pivotal moment will set a precedent for the future of orcs joining the nations of the Empire. This assembly believes that new citizens of the League join with the political rights and representation that the League prides itself on. Appointing a Senator to Spiral who does not represent and respect the culture and identity of all residents of Spiral risks political slavery. It is vurtuous for the League to encourage candidates with a history and connection to the territory.
• Outcome: Not Upheld (156-200)
• Notes: Appears to refer to the [Windfall#Senator_for_Spiral|complex political situation]] in the new League territory of Spiral.

Judgement 136

• Raised By: Neala Blackhawk
• Judgement: The Navarr national assembly recognises the efforts made by Dan Brackensong, Brocéliande's Broker, to ensure the creation of an artefact to be provided as regalia to the general of the Quiet Step. Let this item serve as an inspiration to the Navarr in the hands of our Genereals, and a testament to the virtue and legacy of the Brokers of Brocéliande.
• Outcome: Upheld (289-0)
• Notes: Both the Imperial Senate and the Imperial Conclave can declare an item as regalia of a specific title via amendment or endowment, respectively.

Judgement 140

• Assembly: Marches
• Raised By: Bryce Tanner
• Judgement: Abbott Thomas was a proud and courageous man, a priest of Pride, who practiced vigilance through "proactive counsel" - he believed that bringing people back to a virtuous path was "easier" than preventing them from straying, and dedicated himself to that more arduous and difficult work with unbridled passion. His death in Spring 385YE is mourned by his house and by his widower, and the Marcher religious community. The Marcher assembly recognises the virtuous life of Abbott Thomas, and the inspiring legacy of chaplaincy he leaves behind.

Judgement 141

Judgement 210

• Assembly: Freeborn

• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (194-0)
• Notes: Restoration of the roads of Kahraman, and establishment of watchtowers modelled after the Faraden Bataguin Kamkrag is well underway. The Gilded Peak is a famously unscalable mountain peak between [Kahraman#Braydon's Jasse|Braydon's Jasse]] and Serra Briante.

Judgement 211

• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (322-0)

Judgement 214

• Assembly: Dawn
• Raised By: Lucille Balladeal
• Judgement: The Cold Sun promises to extinguish all that makes us Dawn; our Love, our art, our glory. We call on the questing knights of Dawn take up arms against their heralds. These are recognisable as being those and similar that attacked the Harps of Astolat.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (287-0)

Judgement 216

• Assembly: Vigilance
• Raised By: Lenochka
• Judgement: The Cold Sun and its heralds walk among us. The heralds are sashed with blue. Their eyes are pits and they have no mouths. In the hot summer, on the dry ground, cold and ruthless fires are breaking out. They spread the unvirtuous purpose of purity and bring this to our places of great feeling. When they are seen by the Vigilant citizens of the Empire, urge your congregations to run. Do not engage them. Do not let them take one more from us.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (270-0)

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Hazelelponi of the Shattered Tower
• Judgement: The Highborn Assembly sends Hazelelponi of the Shattered Tower with 50 doses of liao to lead the Wayfarers and Pilgrims to Sulemaine's Tomb. We embrace our past and acknowledge that the Sword Scholars once met Wayfarers with the blade. But now we see the commitment from Urizen in their assurance that "Sulemaine's enemies are not our enemies" (Judgement 47, Winter 383YE). They have not been complacent in their words and met our Grey Pilgrims with spiritual debate. Inspired by Sulemaine's example, we will test what we've learnt and continue inspiring excellence in each other. As such, we have come to bear witness to Urizen's decision and spread word of it through Highguard.
• Outcome: Upheld (443-265) this was a margin of 178
• Enacted: The mandate ensures that everyone in Highguard will be aware that Urizen have been venerating someone who is widely considered to be murderous villain among the Highborn. It will likely result in a strongly negative response from the citizens of Highguard towards Urizen as a whole. As detailed in the Deepest Cut Wind of Fortune.

Judgement 28

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Isaac of Silent Tide
• Judgement: Vigilance teaches us to seek out falsehood and reveal the truth. We send Isaac of the Silent Tide with 50 doses of liao to urge the unconquered and the priests of our nation to help the Seventh Wave root out the poison in our fields.
• Outcome: Upheld with a greater majority (834-0) this was a margin of 834

• Raised By: Starac Orzel
• Judgement: We have aimed high and pursued our dreams, now they are within our grasp at last. We send Starac Orzel with 50 doses of liao to urge Dawnish citizens to come to the Barrens and help rebuild this broken land. Cleave to what you know is true, even where others wish you to doubt..

• Outcome: Upheld with a greater majority (170-30) this was a margin of 140
• Enacted. The Marches will find what white granite and funds they can spare and donate them to support the construction of a sacred city in Bastion. Every Marcher territory that is affected by this mandate will donate 4 wains of white granite and 8 crowns to support the commission each season for the next year. For the same period if it impossible to use a mandate to urge the Marches to support another commission or similar project that needed help. Any mandate in the Imperial Synod that urged Marchers to provide financial support to a different commission or cause will fail to affect the nation. Likewiseany statement of principle in their national assembly that asks the nation for their support in this way will fail to produce a mandate. As detailed in the Blood will thicken Wind of Fortune.

Judgement 57

• Assembly: Urizen
• Raised By: Lochias of Oblivion's Edge
• Judgement: The Virtuous build up their fellows. We send Lochias of Oblivion's Edge with 50 doses of liao to encourage those Urizen magicians who with to stay to embrace a new future in the League.

• Outcome: Failed (22-171)

Judgement 59

• Assembly: Marcher
• Raised By: Brother Geoffrey Orchard
• Judgement: Better seek out the toadstool before it poisons the cattle. We send Brother Geoffrey Orchard with 25 doses of liao to encourage pilgrims of Vigilance who visit the consecrated orchard of Benson the Bellringer at Pickham to seek out the poison in their neighbour's field.
• Outcome: Upheld with a greater majority (162-0) this was a margin of 162
• Enacted.Citizens of Upwold who are dedicated to Vigilance will start to proactively seek out blasphemers, desecrators, heretics, idolators, traitors, and other threats in the territory. Within six months the civil service would be able to compile a report of all active dangers in the territory of Upwold and present it to Martin Orchard or his proxy, at the Winter Solstice 385YE. If a position was created that was responsible for leading and guiding the National Assembly then the report would instead be delivered to them. Assuming there is anything going on. As detailed in the Pruning shears Wind of Fortune.

Judgement 67

• Assembly: Urizen
• Raised By: Lepidina
• Judgement: All that is worthwhile is shared only with those who deserve it. The League has taken Spiral and even now discusses abandoning it's name and history. We send Lepidina with 50 liao to encourage citizens of Urizen to refuse to share the secrets of the block or provide any other aid to the League until they prove they are more than the pretty opportunists.
• Outcome: Upheld with a greater majority (358-0) this was a margin of 358
• Enacted. The Urizen of Spiral will refuse to share the secrets of the Block with the other residents of the territory; any construction will require blocks of mithril. The deliberate prevention of aid also sees any taxation gained from the territory dramatically drop as food and other supplies would need to be brought in via ship. As detailed in the Fate of the many Wind of Fortune.

Judgement 69

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Tabris, Son of Armisael
• Judgement: The Suumah are our cousins in Virtue and it behooves us to build up our fellows rather than let them languish under a blockade of idolators.

• Outcome: Upheld (591-31) this was a margin of 560

Judgement 74

• Assembly: Dawnish
• Raised By: Ser Dindrane
• Judgement: Pride exalts and uplifts those who have been laid low by the wicked; we come to the Barrens not to conquer, but to liberate and restore those who have been trod underfoot by the Druj. We send Ser Dindrane with 50 doses of liao to urge Dawnish citizens not to settle beyond Dawnguard, but to rather put their words, steel, and coin to the cause of protecting and aiding the many inhabitants of the Barrens who have thrown of the yoke of the Buruk Tepel.
• Outcome: Upheld with a greater majority (233-46) this was a margin of 187
• Enacted. those who had hoped to return to the lands they lost when they fled the Barrens will regain their estates in Dawnguard, but new settlers will hold back. There will be no benefits to Dawnish army support or to those looking to move to the Barrens, but it will ensure that the current hostilities with the septs who live here do not get any worse. It will shift the focus of the Dawnish in the Barrens towards appeasing the septs living there and will create an opportunities for ways the Dawnish might help and support the various factions. As detailed in the A glorious victory Wind of Fortune.

Judgement 75

• Assembly: Wintermark
• Raised By: Cynerik
• Judgement: Wisdom knows all knowledge is incomplete. We don't know what fate might befall us if Yulia Kasimiova Voronov enters the Sovevann, but we are not cowed by uncertainty. We send Cynerik with a single dose of liao to inter her body alongside those of Wintermark's greatest heroes.
• Outcome: Withdrawn

Judgement 76

• Assembly: Freeborn
• Raised By: Maria i Espiri i Guerra
• Judgement: The battle at Braydon's Jasse was hard fought and we honour the courage of those who remained behind to face us. We send Maria i Espiri i Guerra with 25 doses of liao and 5 thrones to urge the people of Kahraman to raise a burial mound over the dead Jotun. Our traditions are what define us, we believe all should be offered the opportunity to follow those traditions, especially in death.
• Outcome: Upheld (150-16) this was a margin of 134
• Enacted: The bodies of the orcs who fell in the Battle of Fort Braydon, their weapons, and their armour will be gathered and a burial mound in the Jotun style raised over them not far from the site. It will earn a degree of grudging respect from the Jotun, though it won't completely erase the impact of the deaths inflicted in the recent Winter magic-fuelled rampage carried out by the Freeborn army (the Jotun are known to view ritual war magic that increases casualties as beyond the pale for any civilised foe). In addition in encourages Freeborn to recognise the traditions of all their enemies, within reason. They would be unlikely to try learning and supporting the customs of the Druj but they would endeavour to recognise the traditions of other enemies. As detailed in the Questions of virtue Wind of Fortune.

Judgement 84

• Assembly: Urizen
• Raised By: Clytemnestra
• Judgement: Despise the thieving bandit and those who take without giving. We send Hector of Tropaion with 50 doses of liao to encourage citizens of Urizen to remain apart from Apulian until a reckoning is agreed upon.

• Enacted. Helps empower those botanists of the Bleak Tower afraid to return to Zenith. If the Gardens of Pallas are rebuilt, some of the horticulturalists living at the Bleak Tower would move there, and offer their expertise. If the Gardens of Pallas were not commissioned, it would still offer spiritual support to the Zenith refugees living at the Bleak Tower, but would have no game effect. As detailed in the Restoration and renewal Wind of Fortune.

Judgement 92

• Assembly: League
• Raised By: Liliana di Sarvos
• Judgement: Strive, toil and claim the just rewards of your labours. We send Lia Adelaar von Holberg with 50 thrones to lend to the Sand Fishers with which to buy the resources they need. No one knows what the morrow holds, but in this case it is a little under 8%.

• Outcome: Upheld with a greater majority (298-10) this was a margin of 288

Judgement 112

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Brother Aemon
• Judgement: Highborn! Our Marcher siblings have vigilantly raised the cry to defend our great Empire from the malignant operatives of the Whisper Gallery. We send Brother Aemon with 50 doses of liao to urge Highborn inquisitors and magisters to take inspiration of our Marcher siblings. Our nation's bed rock is founded on human destiny, the parasites of the Whisper Gallery will not stop our realisation of the fact!
• Outcome: Upheld with a greater majority (700-0) this was a margin of 700
• Enacted: Inquisitors and magisters work to seek out the cultists of the Whisper Gallery in Highguard. Every mana site in Highguard will suffer a loss of one crystal mana each season until the start of the Winter Solstice 385YE but at the end of it would see the Highborn magisters and inquisitors have a chance at ensnaring a major agent of the Whisper Gallery in Highguard. As detailed in the Pruning shears Wind of Fortune.

Judgement 114

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Wildfyre of Balthazar's Vineyard
• Judgement: Let us build up our fellows. We send Wildfyre of Balthazar's Vineyard with 25 liao to urge Highborn and Varushkan citizens to share what weapons and armour they can to spare the Dreamers of the Dark Forest. All that is worthwhile is shared with those who deserve it.
• Outcome: Upheld (351-164) this was a margin of 187
• Enacted. Citizens of Highguard will support the defence of Ossium by providing the Dreamers with any weapons and armour they can spare - as the Highborn once provided weapons and armour to the Imperial Orcs. For the next year, military units from that nation will be able to undertake the action to Train the Dreamers to train them how to use the new arms they have been given. If the Imperial Senate pass a motion declaring it is acceptable to arm the Dreamers and either Varushka or Highborn chose to arm them then the region would no longer be under threat. As detailed in the Culling the threat Wind of Fortune.
• Note: While the mandate attempted to urge Varushkan citizens to share weapons, it was raised in the Highborn assembly and has no ability to effect them. Even if it had, because it didn't achieve a greater majority, it would have been questioned and ultimately ignored by the Varushkans.

Judgement 121

• Assembly: Imperial Orc
• Raised By: Skywise Rykana
• Judgement: We are loyal to the core. As other septs to join us, we must never forget our own proud history. We send Skywise Gralka with 10 doses of liao to encourage all Imperial Orcs to embrace a new name as we become the Sunstorm sept.
• Outcome: Upheld with a greater majority (74-26) this was a margin of 48
• Enacted: a new identity will be forged among Imperial Orcs for those who embraced the idea of being part of the Sunstorm Sept, with all the Proud history that that name implies. By next year, the Imperial Orcs will be home to several distinct Septs. It will also beg another question: is now the time for the descendants of Thrace to find a new name for their entire nation? As detailed in the A lost king Wind of Fortune.

Judgement 125

• Assembly: Highborn
• Raised By: Eli of the Cenotaph
• Judgement: The holy city of Bastion is extraordinary, but nothing is beyond our grasp. We send Eli of the Cenotaph with 75 doses of liao to urge every citizen of Highguard to support this, and only this, until all the materials are provided.
• Outcome: Upheld with a greater majority (639-0) this was a margin of 639

Highguard will donate 25 wains of white granite and 50 crowns every season to pay for the construction of the new holy city, until the work is complete. Such devotion is not without cost however. Everything Highguard can spare will be devoted to this extraordinary project - there would be no resources available for other plans. As detailed in the Blood will thicken Wind of Fortune.

Judgement 127

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Veikko Bondforger
• Judgement: The Loyalty assembly sends Mazo with 25 liao to support the Urizen national assembly in their efforts to aid the Spiral Urizeni with the mandate reading: Despise the thieving bandit and those who take without giving. We send our priest with 50 doses of liao to encourage citizens of Urizen to remain apart from Apulian until a reckoning is agreed upon. The role of the Loyalty assembly in this is to reassure people that the Empire does not intend to endorse their destruction and to keep open the channels of communication necessary for a reckoning to be agreed upon. There is a future in which this results in stronger bonds within the Empire and it is upon those dedicated to Loyalty to achieve this.
• Outcome: Upheld with a greater majority (466-0) this was a margin of 466

• Outcome: Upheld (105-0) this was a margin of 105
• Enacted.Freeborn corsairs will be urged to fight the Asaveans in Sumaah coastal waters, to help break the blockade. This will remove the penalty to trade with Zemeh experienced by Imperial traders.

• Judgement: The prosperous are not selfish and the proud proclaim their virtue by actions not words. Let every Marcher yeoman and steward welcome to the orcs of the Mournwold, and treat them as they would any other young Marcher seeking hard work and fair pay. We send Aliss Thorn with 75 doses of liao to ensure everyone knows that it is our ambition to make one people out of two, and a job that never gets started never gets finished.
• Outcome: Upheld with a greater majority (200-0) this was a margin of 200
• Enacted. Welcomes the Mournwold Orcs to visit the northern Marcher territories. As detailed in the Sense and sensibility Wind of Fortune,

• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (336-10) this was a margin of 326

Shriving and clemency will both be available whenever they are needed.
• Outcome: Upheld (134-10) this was a margin of 124
• Enacted: Inquisitors and magisters work to seek out the cultists of the Whisper Gallery in the Marches. every mana site and farm with a monolith in the Marches will lose one crystal mana from its production each season until the start of the Summer Solstice 385YE. It will also hopefully encourage threshers who visit Anvil to turn their attention on their fellow Imperial citizens, scrutinizing them for signs of Whisper Gallery corruption and doing whatever is needed to deal with them once they are identified. As detailed in the Pruning shears Wind of Fortune.

Judgement 195
