The Imperial Synod did not make the following Statements of Principle:

Number	Assembly	Statement of Principle	Priest	Outcome
5	General	I, Ephreal of Zephaniah's Lament, beseech all proud and courageous citizens of the Empire to resist the corruptive influence of the Heralds of Lashonar that currently infest the Dawnish Nation and try to undermine the Barrens campaign. Their very presence is an affront to the great deeds of those who have bled to expand our borders and bring The Way to all human souls. We must drive these malign, inhuman forces out and destroy them before their presence drives souls from the paths of virtue. I will see to this matter personally, ensuring that every noble house in the area is suitably inspired to act in the name of national pride and exterminate them all.	Ephreal	Not Upheld 498 - 339 Greater Majority not achieved.
		Imperatrix Lisabetta invoked the Throne's Power of Custodian of Virtue, making this judgement require a Greater Majority to pass. This judgement relates to the Peace song winds of fortune event.

22	Dawn	The Troubadours of Dawn would encourage the people of our nation who have an interest in the Revelation of the Land Without Tears to go on pilgrimage to learn more of this new theology. If required I will take the liao to spread this message.	Marcus Drommond	Not Upheld 40 - 52
		This judgement relates to the Pilgrimage winds of fortune event.
27	Ambition	The Ambition Assembly declares that it is not Ambitious to create or encourage cults of personality; as opposed to using one's status to spread Virtuous messages.	Lucan Sepulchre	Withdrawn by raising priest at 82 - 26
43	General	True Liao visions are important and deserve respect. To respect the vision, no recipient should undergo a True Liao Vision while under the influence of any potion etc	Aniera	Not upheld 179 - 513
51	General	We refute that the first Empress is among us and that we must listen and learn from her. Should the heroes of Anvil see fit to raise 500 liao, Duke Ferrero will travel to Reikos to counter the teachings of Yael, to show Loyalty to The Way, and follow his examples and teaching as a person who has changed the world in this life, such as by his pan-nation sodality challenging slavery, as well as the past in his former life as the Alderman Jenny, who led the first Marcher territory to success in Stockland.	Mazo i Zabala i Erigo	Withdrawn by raising priest at 81 - 220
		This judgement relates to the Pilgrimage winds of fortune event.
55	General	The Empire and its citizens should demonstrate the Virtues by only making contracts that have been considered fully and made with the intent to keep them. Breaking such agreements is unvirtuous, jeopardise future Imperial negotiations and also endangers our ability to spread The Way in action.	Ferrero Sanguineo Rezia di Tassato	Not upheld 275 - 276
