Statements of Principle

The Imperial Synod made the following Statements of Principle:

Number	Assembly	Statement of Principle	Priest	Outcome
6	General	As Followers of The Way, we have a duty to save souls even at the cost of lives. We support the actions of Urizen in Spiral.	Upheld 393 - 78
11	Highguard National	Providing the grave goods of Empress Britta to an inhuman entity within the Kallavesi Swamp goes against the Doctrine of Human Destiny, insults Imperial Pride, questions Imperial Courage, lacks Prosperity in the waste of Britta's tomb, and lacks Vigilance in agreeing to the demands of an inhuman and unknown entity	Esau of Felix's Watch	Upheld 196 - 0
12	Highguard National	The Nation of Highguard owes thanks to all those who assisted in the safe recovery of Permion the Navigator, Exemplar of Courage.	Asher of Felix's Watch	Upheld 208 - 0
14	Imperial Orc	When I see the Winter Sun battle, it is something for the entire nation to be proud of. I see in the heat of combat, every virtus displayed and it fills my heart with Pride. I feel the Winter Sun are a fine example of orc battle tactics and warfare and that it would be good to share this experience, wisdom, courage and vigilance with others so that our nation, our Empire, can prosper from our Loyalty. Our Ambition should be for all to benefit from our strength and ability, for what is knowledge if it is not used or shared.	Atla	Upheld 10 - 0
16	Pride	The Assembly of Pride would like to recognise the success of the Brass Coast in reclaiming their lost territory	Lilian	Upheld 47 - 10
17	General	Statements of Principle should only make one single point	Wyr of the Navarr	Upheld 196 - 96
18	General	When any person stands for a Synod position, on the judgment form where they put themselves forward for election, they must clearly state any condemnations that have been passed against them	Irada-Catchie Von Temeschwar	Upheld 367 - 70
19	General	The Denigration of a Relic is to be treated as equal to the denigration of the Paragon and is therefore blasphemy	Yael of Felix's Watch	Upheld 186 - 138
20	General	That which is good for the true pursuit of The Way of Virtue is good for the Empire. If revelations on the nature of The Way should come into conflict with the principles of the Empire, it is the Empire that must change	Isaac Carlino di Sarvos	Upheld 319 - 36
21	General	The claiming of souls by the Eternal Kaela must be acted upon by the Conclave	Harald Johnson	Upheld 259 - 56
23	General	In the interests of wisdom and vigilance within the Synod, experimental theologians are encouraged to inform the General Assembly of the results of their experiments	Noah	Upheld 245 - 23
25	Marcher Assembly	It is commonly held that some briar burials taint the land, yet a Marcher must be buried in Marcher soil. These conflict. We declare that this taint is not inherent to briar nature. Instead, it is the product of malign spiritual presences of Hatred and Vengeance, which are encouraged through life as a Marcher Briar. A Virtuous briar can overcome this and, as guardians of Marcher souls, it is our duty to aid them in this. Priests of the Marches must ensure that briars have an appropriate resting place, with dignity. Dependent on local circumstances, suggestions are within the hedgerows, in an orchard surrounded by flowing water, a normal orchard or burial of ashes	Edward Watcher	Upheld 62 - 0
27	General	High Inquisitor Petra stated that "Senator Dusan, Senator for Miekarova, has been found unoworthy of their position due to a fundamental lack of virtue", at 2.30pm on Sunday in a document circulated by Falstino Toliccu von Tassotto, upon her request and payment, before the Synod vote on the matter closed. Three others were named also; some of which were not inquisited directly	Fr Drakov	Outcome needs checking
28	Loyalty	We the Assembly of Loyalty wish to recognize the Loyalty displayed by the fighting citizens of Dawn, the Marches, Navarr, the League and the Imperial Orcs for their successful and valiant defence pf the vulnerable and besieged ritualists at the Battle of Reikos	Oberon Caeli di Rezia	Upheld 113 - 0
29	Courage	Lazarus of Cantiarch's Hold and all our departed brothers and sisters who have fallen in Reikos and have been unable to enter the Labyrinth due to the actins of the barbarian orcs: You have not been forgotten. Have Courage	Nina	Upheld 94 - 0
36	General	The General Assembly does not intend to veto the Senate Motion to address the boggart issue in Morrow	Hector de Rondell	Upheld 350 - 10
37	Vigilance	Naming Vitomir Vardov of Varushka as the priest responsible for coordinating consecrations and exorcisms across Miekarova to act against the Anarchy cultists in that area	Abraham	94 - 0
