Recognition

The following judgements of recognition were raised during the summit.

Judgement 11

• Assembly: Ambition
• Raised By: Rafael Barossa d'Apulian
• Judgement: We recognise Amika Acciai, sixth child of the House of Steel, as an Exemplar of Ambition. He reached out to Rafael Barossa d'Apulian, seeking help with his goal to "engulf Asavea in a firestorm of change". Pilgrimage:Amika travelled to the Temple of the Way in Nemoria and studied there under Sumaash and Imperial priests. Benevolence: Amika turned his family estate into a safe haven for followers of the Way fleeing persecution by the Plenum. Salvation: Amika freed his family's slaves and taught them the Way. These pilgrims infiltrated other estates and spread the Way to the slaves there. Amika led the attack on the Tarquinius family estate, killing the oppressors there and giving his life for the cause. Inspiration: Amika's death inspired his cousin Alberto, who led the attack on the city of Marlien that freed all the slaves there, and started the wave of unrest that is currently crashing across Asavea.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (320-10); Margin of 310
• Notes: The recognition of Amika Acciai will be escalated to the General Assembly for evaluation at the Summer Solstice.

Judgement 19

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Eevi of the Gadrai
• Judgement: Dogri Thulebane is an Exemplar of Loyalty. The signs are clear. Inspiration: Dogri's words inspired more than 200 fighters to stand with him in defence of Crow's Keep and Skarsind. in 385YE Spring, Dogri's story was added to Wintermark's Chronicle of Heroism as a national inspiration. Benevolence: Dogri opened Crow's Keep to all Skarsind winterfolk who did not want to leave. When the battle of Crow's Keep was lost, he ordered his followers to escape with their lives rather than lead them to their death. Miracle: Upon his death, a spontaneous aura of Loyalty manifested on the amulet he was wearing with no intervention from practitioners of Liao ceremonies. Legacy: Crow's Ridge is the region where Crow's Keep is found. After Dogri's stand, Crow's Ridge was taken by the Thule but the scars of Thulebane remain. Crow's Ridge is Dogri's legacy and for that legacy we have been granted an opportunity in 385YE Sumer to create an inspirational tomb for him, in his final resting place; the Sovevann, Kallavesa with true liao
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (473-36); Margin of 437

Special Considerations

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

Assembly	Consideration	Link	Duration
All Assemblies	Statements that prioritise the greater good over personal loyalties are less effective.	Eyes of Loyalty	Ongoing
All Assemblies	Statements that try to compel Loyalty will fail.	Eyes of Loyalty	Ongoing
All Assemblies	Revocations and Excommunications for disloyalty to the nation or Empire risk causing dissent.	Eyes of Loyalty	Ongoing
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.	Urizen Link, Varushka Link.	Ongoing

Alternative Mandates

Prior to the summit, the following alternative mandates were proposed by members of the Synod.

Member	Link to mandate	Notes
