Mandate

Judgement 5

We send Lepidina with 25 doses of liao to encourage those Urizen magicians who have decided to stay to share the best of Urizen culture with the League. Let us share our values with them and make Apulian a city founded on philosophy, learning and a vision for a better future.
• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (238-22); Margin of 216
• Enacted. This mandate will have a slow but inexorable effect on the culture of Apulian, shaping the future of the newest City of the League. As detailed in the Blue flowers in the snow wind of fortune.

Judgement 52

• Assembly: Navarr
• Raised By: Morwenna Witheredrose
• Judgement: For our Empire to offer sanctuary only to those we find convenient is to pretend at compassion while concealing the heart of a coward. We send Brynmor Rootround with 50 doses of liao to encourage Navarr to reach out to all who call Peytaht their home, swearing to protect orc and human alike regardless of their beliefs.
• Outcome: Upheld (190-154); Margin of 36

• Notes: See Judgement 56

Judgement 56

• Assembly: Navarr

We will continue to work with them while the Navarr still live and breathe and we send Brynmor Rootround with 50 doses of liao to ask Navarr to look to their Loyalty and swear an oath to protect the Great Forest Orcs as though they were our family. Strength to the Navarr, Strength to the Great Forest Orcs
• Outcome: Upheld (252-58); Margin of 194
• Enacted. The fears of the Great Forest Orcs have been soothed. Those who have established steadings in Hercynia and Miaren will be reassured that they can continue to build lives alongside the Navarr. Some of those who still live in Therunin will remain behind, even as most of them return to the Heart of Peytaht, the bonds of friendship strengthened. As detailed in the Little mercy wind of fortune
• Notes: See Judgement 56 and Judgement 124

Judgement 70

• Assembly: General
• Raised By: Halwyn Splitroot

• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (306-18); Margin of 288
• Enacted. Encourages the people of Miaren to support the Navarri who support an army against Cold Sun, providing two random herbs to every military unit that supports an army fighting the Empty Hands. As detailed in the The Deer in the Sun wind of fortune.

Judgement 74

• Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (68-0); Margin of 146
• Enacted. This relates to the creation of the Library of Worth in Skarsind. The Imperial Orcs will donate 4 wains of white granite and 8 crowns to support the commission each season for the next year. This will exhaust their capacity to support other important causes; it will be impossible to use a mandate to urge the Imperial Orcs to support another commission or similar project that needed help.

Judgement 124

• Assembly: Loyalty
• Raised By: Kellin Embercast
• Judgement: I use the power of Eyes of Loyalty to send Kellin Embercast with 25 doses of liao to support "We have lived alongside the Great Forest Orcs and we consider them family.

Challenge

The following judgement of challenge was raised during the summit

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

We propose the virtue fund should take advantage and would ask for funds to acquire the needed resource to construct the house with the highest return at the point sufficient material has been gathered (currently Tassato for 16 crowns/season)> we seek the assemblies approval to purchase 2 wains of weirwood using 10 Thrones and 0 Crowns. Should this pass, further requests will be placed until the full balance of material is acquired. Last summit 2 wains were purchased for this endeavour.
• Outcome: Upheld (578-548); of Margin 30

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
