387YE Spring Equinox Senate sessions

Overview

The Imperial Senate governs the Empire, and its authority extends to all areas of Imperial life not already covered by the other houses of government. Each summit the senators meet several times to deliberate and vote on the motions they have raised.

After the summit the civil service enact those motions, and ensure a public record of each is made available to the citizens of the Empire. This page lists all the motions raised during the summit, along with the announcements made by citizens with Imperial titles. In each case, the motion and its effects are summarized including the wording; who proposed and seconded it; whether it passed or not; whether any funds were disbursed to support it; and what the outcome of the motion will be.

Many motions (especially the commissions) also have a Further Details section that provides a link to a wiki page dealing specifically with that motion in more detail, any commentary from the Constitutional Court, progress on commissions, or expanded information about the outcome of the motion.

Following the mandate enacted by Luca i Taziel i Riqueza after the Winter Solstice 385YE the number of commissions available has been reduced as the faithful have been convinced to withdraw their labour. This will continue until either the Imperial Senate uses a motion to assign fines from the magistrates to the Virtue fund or the Prosperity Assembly uses a clearly worded Statement of Principle upheld with a greater majority to encourage the faithful to once again take up their tools. More information can be found in the Forwards and Rewards wind of fortune.

Administrative Motions

Create Judgement of Exaltation

Motion: To create a new judgement of the Synod: Exaltation. This judgement can be raised in any virtue assembly to raise up an individual whose actions should be praised and serve as a pattern for virtue of others. To be upheld it must be passed with a greater majority, and the civil service will keep a public roll of names.
Raised by: Speaker of the Senate
Notes: This motion was initially proposed by the Conscience of the Senate during the Winter Solstice 386YE. The original motion allowed it to be raised as a variant of sanction, rather than as an entirely new judgement. This type of judgement will only be able to raise in one of the eight Virtue Assemblies.

Create Singer of the Silence

Motion: To create a new title; Singer of the Silence. This title is to be appointed by the Wisdom Assembly every year. The Singer of the Silence will have the responsibility to protect the Great Library of Hacynian, and to organise parley with Sung and Phaleron to try and unlock the potential of the enigmatic regio at the library. This title has no clear powers, beyond any potentially granted by the regio.
Raised by: Speaker of the Senate
Notes: This motion is raised as a result of the mandate enacted by Nathair Autumngale after the Winter Solstice 386YE. For more information see the Little faith wind of fortune.

Amend Imperial Apothecaries Guild

Motion: To amend the Imperial Apothecaries Guild to have the power to add new potions to Imperial lore. This power will be enacted by vote of the members of the sodality and cost ten thrones. This motion will remove the Senate's power to add new potions to Imperial lore.
Raised by: Speaker of the Senate
