Change of Doctrine

The following change of doctrine was proposed during the Autumn Equinox.

Judgement 3

Assembly: General
Raised By: Clarice Novarion
Judgement: To remove the Doctrine of Human Destiny and replace it with

The Doctrine of Enlightenment

Virtue lies in choice and action. Virtue's power to exalt transcends the boundaries of the soul, spirit, and species, guiding and inspiring both orcs and humans to their highest destiny. Through the practice of Virtue, orcs and humans develop the strength, knowledge and enlightenment which marks their highest potential as thinking beings .

The virtuous inspire others to greatness; they do not demean them. Let us celebrate the spiritual power of Virtue without degrading our fellow Pilgrims. Let us inspire orcs and humans as equals in the Way with a true expression of Pride and Ambition.

Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (3013 - 159)
Notes: This historic judgement both rescinds the Doctrine of Human Destiny and creates a new Doctrine of Enlightenment. The full implications of this significant change to the Doctrines of the Faith will be felt over the coming months.

Statement of Principle

Judgement 4

Assembly: League
Raised By: Prince Bishop Hildebrand von Holberg
Judgement: Virtue is spread by example and what better ay can there be to share that example than the arts! We encourage all citizens of the League to bask in the glow of stained glass, to weep at plays, and to be inspired by great virtuous tales. Art begets virtue and virtue begets art.
Outcome: Upheld (301-12)

Judgement 5

Assembly: General
Raised By: Yosephus Morningson
Judgement: The views of the Tample of Balance are not shared by all priests but neither are they heretical. Those who hold such views should be allowed to preach according to their beliefs. Note: Commentary on this judgement has been published on the public notice board in the hub and Yosephus Morningson is available to discuss it and share further documentation. Yosephus can be found wearing white robes with a straw hat and will be in the hub on Friday at 9pm, Saturday at 10am, 1:30pm, 3pm, and 9pm, and Sunday at 10am, Noon, and 1pm.
Outcome: Not upheld (340-760)

Judgement 6

Assembly: Vigilance
Raised By: Hector of Tropaion
Judgement: The Druj will always threaten that which we watch over. We must strike decisively in their heartland, to thwart their planned malice before we fall foul of it. This assembly advocates the cursing of Sarnath.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (275-16)
Notes: The Salt Flats of Sanath are part of the Mallum, the homelands of the Druj. The Empire is currently engaged in a military campaign there. The Citadel Guard are present, presenting the opportunity to take advantage of the Urizen army ability to channel ritual magic into the territory.

Judgement 9

Assembly: General
Raised By: Ortenzia di Sarvos
Judgement: This assembly encourage the ambitious, wise, and vigilant search for potions and substances that will allow orc priests of all nations to engage with the virtues in similar ways to how human priests use liao.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (2733-10)
Notes: Orcs are unable to use liao, and do not gain benefits from the Tisanes of the Labyrinth.

Judgement 13

Assembly: Dawn
Raised By: Set Mael Donjeon
Judgement: From the now-blest Barrens shrine / Weary we walked / Great grief tempering great joy / One thing I know / That soothes a heavy heart / Is the gift of faithful friend. We returned from the Barrens in summer to a heroic welcome from the Fellowship of the Broken Willow and the Winterfolk. The Troubadours of Dawn are grateful for, and shall remember this kindness.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (313-0)
Notes: This seems to refer to the Dawnish expedition to the Barrens at the Summer Solstice, during which they consecrated a chapel with true liao, creating an inspirational location.

Judgement 15

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: Averil Olsen Warsmith of the Iron Way
Judgement: Wintermark should remain Vigilant against our many enemies who attempt to shatter out battles lines. We should use our Wisdom to know further war with these enemies will happen. Therefore we should begin to produce Artisan Oil on a larger scale. As a nation we should take Pride in our runesmith traditions and build an Artisan Academy which would give us space to train new runesmiths. This would simultaneously produce a reserve of Artisan Oil for this great nation. This would allow our already trained Artisans to dedicate more time to crafting more complex magic items for Wintermark and the Empire. The Storm will never break us.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority(333-0)
Notes: Artisan's Oil is a substance invented in the Commonwealth that allows shattered weapons and shields to be mended. Any Imperial artisan can create it., as the procedure for doing so was disseminated throughout the Empire in late Autumn and early Winter of 379YE by agents of the Fellowship of Purple Sails.

Judgement 16

Assembly: General
Raised By: Friar John of the Mourn
Judgement: It has become common in current times that past life visions have been shared and recorded more widely for the sake of reclaiming lost history and investigating the Way. Until recently, past life visions were more often a private, spiritual affair intended to offer guidance to the visionary. We call upon all those across the Empire, including those who do not attend Anvil, who may have had a more private past life vision to consider volunteering that information. This should even be if their names are to be kept anonymous in the records. Such knowledge enriches our understanding of the soul and of the Way. It allows us to track whether known virtuous souls have been reborn, gives us an insight onto history, and potentially brings us new tales of virtue which could be used to inspire.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (2506-9)
Notes: A past life vision is achieved through the use of true liao. In recent years, records of many past life visions have been published by the Seer of the Gateway and shared with interested readers across the Known World; this publication represents only the tip of the iceberg however. There are more than three centuries of Imperial past life visions for which there is no publicly available documentation.

Judgement 29

Assembly: Marches
Raised By: Jedediah Boon
Judgement: Hue and Cry, Miners and Landskeepers of the Mourn and Marches! The constellation of the Wanderer still shines bright in the sky! Watch the tunnels of your land with Vigilance and cast your mine enchantments with cautious wisdom. Invoke the name of Jonah Gold as you stand together against mysterious spirits that offer wealth and good fortune; they are no hard workers of the land, but tulpas fit only for driving away! Miners and Landskeepers, Hue and Cry!
Outcome: Upheld (156-10)
Notes: This caution appears to refer to recent peculiar effects reported by magicians performing enchantments aimed at mines, apparently connected to a conjunction of the Wanderer.

Judgement 31

Assembly: Urizen
Raised By: Limonos of the Astral Observatory
Judgement: Magicians are the leaders of our nation, however consequences are the price of Ambition. In light of recent events we call on Sentinels to remember their role as guardians of our nation, and remind them that threats can come from within as well as without. Do not be afraid to act to protect Urizen, even if you would act against other Urizeni.
Outcome: Upheld (218-85)
Notes: An exhortation to the sentinels of Urizen, who form the bulk of the nation's armed forces and embrace the arts of war with the same passion and commitment with which their fellow Urizeni study magic.

Judgement 32

Assembly: Urizen
Raised By: Able the Taller
Judgement: Zenith is being rebuilt, stone by stone. One Ring At A Time. But we must not shy away from the lessons of the recent past, the mistakes and weakness that lead to the despoiling of our homes and the loss of our territory. Consequences are the Cost of Ambition, we must seek to raise another Army, and commit ourselves to this path however long it takes to travel.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (348-0)
Notes: Each nation can maintain only a limited number of armies (and navies). Urizen can support only a single army - currently the Citadel Guard.

Judgement 35

Assembly: General
Raised By: Luca i Taziel i Riquez
Judgement: The Human Spirit can be touched by Purity, Pride, Peace, Prosperity, and more. Seemingly, every aura is a tune which plays in harmony with something intrinsic and pure in Spirit's song, regardless of how we feel about the notes. The Virtues were chosen as Doctrine, as we choose peace or war, amity or enmity, enemies or lovers (although those can sometimes be the same). The Doctrine of Seven is a choice built on evidence first and opinion second, but it is a choice we made and can unmake. It must be treated as such. We cannot cry heresy at a question asked, when our predecessors asked it too. We cannot claim an understanding of the Human Spirit when we do not at least acknowledge all the music it sings.
Outcome: Not Upheld (743-869)
Notes: The Doctrine of the Seven is one of the Doctrines of the Faith that form the foundation of the Way. It states that "There are seven Virtues that guide the spirit through the Labyrinth of Ages. These are Ambition, Courage, Loyalty, Pride, Prosperity, Vigilance and Wisdom. Other qualities may benefit humanity, but lend no aid through the passage of death to rebirth, and some may hinder it.".

Judgement 36

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Nekoda of the Shattered Tower
Judgement: As the Freefolk complete their pilgrimage around the Empire, in the way the forebears of Highguard completed their pilgrimage across the Bay of Catazar and the First Empress brought the Revelation across the nations of the Empire, we the Highborn recognise them as kindred souls and invite them to settle with us and find new homes in our Nation. We are all scions of Atun and Atuman, as peoples seeking our paths in the world, dedicated to the pursuit of the Way, and following in the Inspiration of our exemplars and paragons. Let us do so together. In Loyalty, let us build up one another. In Pride, let us embrace our pasts and inspire one another. In Wisdom, let us test what we know, and learn together.
Outcome: Upheld (602-10)
Notes: Atun and Atuman are inspiration figures credited with establishing the Highborn nation and the foundations of the Way. The Free Folk are former Asavean slaves who practice the Way, albeit in an unfamiliar fashion. Many have spent the last year engaged in a pilgrimage to inspirational locations across the Empire, with the support of the Imperial Synod.

Judgement 37

Assembly: League
Raised By: Isaia Pavone di Sarvos
Judgement: Prosperity teaches that all that is worthwhile is shared with those who deserve it. We benefit from Urizen's sacrifice and we must repay our debts. Let us prove we hear Urizen's pain and that we are no the thieving bandits they fear us to be. Lorenzo's Legacies provide the League with ample mana, and our Urizeni siblings are in need. Let us send the mana from these Great Works to shroud the spires of Spiral.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (325-110)
Notes: Wealthy philanthropist Lorenzo “La Volpe” Macelliao von Temeschwar left many legacies behind; some of the best known are the Legacies of Virtue established in half-a-dozen territories across the Empire - great works that increase the amount of crystal mana that can be harvested at mana sites in those territories. This statement also seems to reference the possibility of providing the spires of Spiral with the mana needed to enact rituals that would help them remain connected to their fellows in Zenith and Redoubt, as detailed in a recent appraisal.

Judgement 38

Assembly: General
Raised By: Velko Perunovich Razoradze
Judgement: Drowning criminals in the Semmerlak is not an act of idolatry it is a return to the agreements of old. Dho'uala wants the mortal bodies of condemned criminals. Fulfilling this request is not heathen sacrifice it is a necessary bargain. Lawful execution by drowning is no different to chopping of a head in the eyes of virtue.
Outcome: Not Upheld, Withdrawn (983-1042); Scrutiny was extended by the Cardinal of Vigilance.
Notes: Appears to be talking about the proposal to drown criminals in the waters of the Semmerlak to mollify the sovereign known as Chou'ala. While a Senate motion was raised regarding this proposal, it was subsequently withdrawn.

Judgement 47

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Saul Truthmonger
Judgement: Highguards bonds of Loyalty spread to helping souls in need. Vendarri orcs have stated that they want to settle, if only they had a swamp to call home. Ambition drives us to seek excellence in all things - so we should do what we can to make our lands more hospitable. Then we can begin to treat non believers as souls to be saved, rather than enemies to be destroyed.
Outcome: Upheld (252-80)
Notes: This relates to the complex situation of the Vendarri sept of orcs in the Barrens. The Imperial Senate has declared that this sept are barbarians, clarifying the situation inan administrative motion during the Autumn Equinox.

Judgement 50

Assembly: General
Raised By: Lady Josephine of Adina's Charge
Judgement: Orcs are members of the Empire and are known to benefit from the Way of Virtue. For years Orcish traditions have been attacked and their voices spoken over and disrespected. There are now many Septs in the Empire each with their own traditions. The Empire is changing, we as humans must acknowledge what we've done and treat them with the respect they are owed as fellow citizens of the Empire. Talk to them, ask what they need and actually listen to their answer rather than just assume.
Outcome: Upheld (1678-168)

Judgement 53

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Merari Navigators of Virtue
Judgement: Unveiling is a valid spiritual discipline, Highborn assembly 384. A year ago as a nation the lineaged and unlineaged priests of Highguard declared with one prideful voice that our tradition of unveiling is a valid practice in our spiritual journey. This remains unchanged! However, we each travel our own path while we journey through the Way. It is true that unveiling can be fruitful for a person's spiritual growth. But it must be stressed that if a Lineaged adherent of the Way chooses not to unveil, that is also equally valid.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (484-32)
Notes: Unveiling is a somewhat controversial practice among some lineaged Highborn in which they remove or disfigure the visible marks of their lineage, usually by cutting off their horns or antlers.

Judgement 56

Assembly: Pride
Raised By: Vespasian
Judgement: The Cold Sun seeks not only to exterminate the people of the Empire, but eliminate our culture and art as well. We have lost the Grand Conservatory of Music, Freya's Garden, and the Unbound Steel Hall of Lost Chapters - we must not lose any more great works of our cultures. We urge the Prideful to proclaim their Pride in how they conduct every part of their lives by rising up against the Cold Sun and aiding the soldiers of the Empire against it. Despise the half-hearted, the uncommitted, and the pretender in this struggle for our identities.
Outcome: Upheld with a greater Majority (590-0)
Notes: The Cold Sun is an eternal of the Day Realm whose soldiers are engaged in a military campaign across the Empire, one that recently saw the destruction of the three locations mentioned in the statement.

Judgement 58

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: Grogfear, son of Grignir
Judgement: The Prosperous are not selfish; all that is worthwhile is shared with those who deserve it. Atte Arrow-Tongued has shown themselves to be a steadfast supporter of strengthening Wintermark. They have guided us through some of the most turbulent times since the death of the Young Empress. It is their words we give voide to at our moots. "Three people, one nation. Ten nations, one Empire." They played a key role in the gifting of Skarsind to the Imperial orcs and were vital to the success of the initial Liberty Pact negotiations. Now they have committed themselves to lifting up Sermersuaq, ensuring the territory does not continue to be overlooked. Wintermark is proud to add their tales to the Chronicle of Heroes.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majortiy (371-0)
Notes: The name of Atte Arrow-Tongued has been added to the Chronicle of Heroism.

Judgement 59

Assembly: Pride
Raised By: Ubarius of Tropaion Citadel
Judgement: The Virtues do not demean others, they inspire them to greatness. The Faraden follow four of the True Virtues, but also are demeaned by the false virtue of Vengeance. They also have a national shortage of liao. The Empire should not be giving or selling liao directly to the Faraden, where it may fall into the hands of blasphemers. Rather, we urge our Prideful missionaries to dedicate Faraden priests that follow Pride, and given them Hallowed items. This will raise their status in Faraden society, relative to those who follow Vengeance, thus inspiring them to greatness.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (498-28)
Notes: The Faraden are foreigners who live to the west of the Empire, across the Jotun-controlled Lasambrian Hills. Their religion has similarities to the Way, including the veneration of the virtues of Pride, Courage, Loyalty, and Prosperity, but differs in several key regards most well-known of which is their inclusion of the malign spiritual presence of Vengeance alongside the four true virtues. The Pride assembly has recently engaged with the priests of Faraden, to learn more about their faith; further information is expected to be made available to Imperial citizens soon.

Judgement 61

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: "Shacklebreaker" Thranmir Hrafnar
Judgement: Helgunn Chargebringer of the Fellowship of the Broken Willow should have their name written in the Chronicle of Heroisum. They were a Courageous, Pridefull, Wise, and Loyal leader of the Heart of the Mark until they met their end in Kahraman. Time and time again they welcomed new heroes of Wintermark into their battle unit, helped train them up into heroes, and watched over them as they helped the Empire secure greater victories on the battlefield. They earnt their Hero name "Chargebringer" for showing immense Courage through leading multiple charges from the front and inspired everyone to step with them. A Hero has a name!
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (365-0)
Notes: The name of Helgunn Chargebringer has been added to the Chronicle of Heroism

Judgement 62

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: Rafe
Judgement: The young empress Britta Gilderling is a virtuous example to us all, memorialized in Necropolis, as she rests in the waters of the Sovevann. We believe it is time to link these two places of pilgrimage both symbolically and literally, for those visiting the memorial in Necropolis should also be directed to the pool where Britta Gilderling rests, and vice versa so that those what come to Britta's pool are also sent to see how her virtuous actions are remembered by all the people of the Empire. Three people, one nation, many nations under the Way in one great Empire.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (331-0)
Notes: The body of Empress Britta was given to the marshes of the Sovevann in 376YE, while her regalia was placed in a shrine in the Necropolis. In Autumn 379YE, the regalia were removed from the shrine and interred in the marshes alongside her body. Britta's Pool remains a place of pilgrimage for those who wish to honour the memory of the Young Empress, while the former tomb has been rededicated to the virtue of Courage.

Judgement 64

Assembly: Urizen
Raised By: Elagabala
Judgement: Rebels of Spiral, the Grendel are coming. Their false faith demands they invade your home. Philostrate, host of Menos, has asked "where were you twenty years ago? Ten years ago?" We are at the negotiating table. You are at the negotiating table. If you take the land you intend, the Grendel's eight units will slaughter you, and the Empire will be unable to help. Look to Urizen's enemies to the south. Your home is in peril.
Outcome: Upheld (181-110)
Notes: This seems to be an address to the rebellious Urizen spires in Spiral, referencing the end of the treaty securing peace with the Grendel that came to an end with the Autumn Equinox.

Judgement 67

Assembly: Highborn
Raised By: Hazelelponi of the Shattered Tower
Judgement: The Virtue face unwelcome truths as boldly as any barbarian charge. The Urizen National Assembly and the Sword Scholars within it have undoubtedly shown themselves to be bold; and have made the Courageous decision through their Wisdom to no longer venerate the actions of Sulemaine. In their time, they have inspired others to greatness and will continue to do so; and the Highguard National Assembly anticipates further brilliance from them. Let us see together what bright future we build for our wonderful Empire.
Outcome: Upheld (438-6)
Notes: This statement supports the mandate enacted by Herminius of the House of the Wanderer, which has significant implications for the future of the sword scholars of Urizen. It may be important to note that the decision to turn away from the founder of the movement is by no means universally supported by the sword scholars.

Judgement 68

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: Aedig Steadfast
Judgement: Foeslayer the artifact banner held by Emperor Gunthem and possibly Empress Britta, is missing since Britta's death. The Crows call upon the mystics, the wise, the scops, the elders, and the scholars, to bring us any news of this banner's resting place.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (337-0)
Notes: Foe-slayer is an artefact Three Tears banner, born into battle by the Banner-Bearer of Emperor Guntherm banner-bearer until he fell in battle with the Jotun. It was said that the banner was interred in the Kallavesi swamps alongside the Emperor - and that his ghost personally gave the banner to Empress Britta when she came of age. The whereabouts of the magical standard are not common knowledge at this time.

Judgement 70

Assembly: Vigilance
Raised By: Irada von Temeschwar
Judgement: The inspiration of Berechiah drives Vigilance pilgrims and priests to actively tear out the poison that threatens the Empire. We the vigilance assembly encourage the creation of an Inspirational monument consecrated with true liao at his Basilica in Bastion, so that his inspiration, in rooting out threats can be felt across the Empire
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (250-0)
Notes: Berechiah is an often-controversial exemplar of Vigilance. This statement calls for the establishment of an inspirational location at his basilica, which stands in the city of Bastion, in Highguard.

Judgement 71

Assembly: General
Raised By: Rey Fosterbrooke
Judgement: We, the Imperial Synod, guardians of the Empire's faithful, acknowledge the differing orcish beliefs within our borders. While the Imperial Orcs adhere to our current doctrine, we recognise the unique spiritual path followed by the Mournwold Orcs. The virtue of wisdom teaches us to test what we know. Thus we propose a theological research imitative to explore these orc related doctrines - Reincarnation, the Howling Abyss, and the Ancestors. This seeks common ground, evaluates historical and cultural significance, and fosters dialogue between these two communities.
Outcome: Upheld (1896-67)
Notes: This statement speaks on the complex matter of orc spiritual beliefs, especially as they relate to the doctrines of Reincarnation, the Howling Abyss, and the Ancestors. The Mournwold Orcs in particular believe that they are capable of reincarnation, a matter that has become increasingly pressing since the Marcher assembly has called on their nation to embrace the former Jotun thralls as fellow Marchers.

Judgement 74

Assembly: Wisdon
Raised By: Lord Laurant Sephulcre
Judgement: Test what you learn; only fools accept hearsay as truth. The Free Folk come to us with tales of their Divine Family. The Speaker for the Dead is recognised as an Exemplar, yet three more remain. We encourage those who believe the Free Folk to bring forward proof of their claims: evidence, fact, and reason. If truth an be found, recognition can follow. If the Divine Family are ~~nothing~~ more than tales and fables then they are unworthy of reverence.
Outcome: Upheld (300-44)
Notes: The Speaker for the Dead is one of the inspirations venerated by the former Asavean slaves known as the Free Folk, recently recognised as an exemplar. They are one of four figures dubbed "the Divine Family", who are further discussed in a number of pamphlets distributed by the Free Folk.

Judgement 75

Assembly: General
Raised By: Creighton Blackewater
Judgement: It has been one year since we freed the slaves at Rachensgrab and we have done nothing to help them. We killed their pretender god, burned its temple, freed its slaves, and plunder its vault for ourselves. Prosperity teaches us to despise those who take without giving, but we took everything from Rachensgrab without giving anything to the slaves. Now we take more by trading with the Bailiffs of the Guttered Flame. I call upon the Empire to right this wrong and see that the former slaves of Rachensgrab claim the just rewards of their labours.
Outcome: Upheld (1429-204)
Notes: Rachensgrab was an island city-state in the Sea of Steel, a centre for the international slave trade destroyed by Imperial forces following the Winter Solstice 384YE. The majority of the slaves freed in the fall of Rachensgrab were taken in by the Commonwealth, with only a few choosing to make the journey to the Empire. The Bailiffs of the Guttered Flame are a group of heralds from the City of Gold and Lead who recently offered deals to Imperial magicians relating to the estate of the former Voivode of Chains, a lieutenant of Ephisis involved in the slave trade before their destruction at the hands of Imperial forces.

Judgement 76

Assembly: Dawn
Raised By: Galahad Avalone
Judgement: We wish to announce the judgement of the troubadous or Dawn as to the Champions this year. Ambition - Catrine Words the "Unbelivably Magical" (2nd year): Courage - Laudine du Lac (previously Vigilance): Loyalty - Armand Remys (2nd Year): Vigilance- Morien de Carsenere (Previously Love, Glory, Ambition): Wisdom - Dindrane de Cantharos: Prosperity - Talis: Pride - Bors de Carsenere (Previously Prosperity): Way - Claude Videre (2nd year, previously Wisdom): Love - Claudia Lovelorn (Previously Courage): Glory - the Hounds of Glory.
Outcome: Upheld (183-0)
Notes: Each Autumn the troubadours of Dawn crown a number of champions of virtue, as well as champions of Love and Glory who receive small gifts from the people of the nation in recognition of their achievements. These are distinct from the Champions of Virtue appointed by the Imperial Synod.

Judgement 78

Assembly: Urizen
Raised By: Tarquinius Ankarien
Judgement: Since we raised a judgement refusing to aid the League until they proved that they were more than petty opportunists they have: 1) Paid mithril to erect statues that help to protect us. 2) Publicly acknowledge that a reckoning is due. 3) Assigned a reckoner and opened negotiations. The League have proven in word and deed that we are not just dealing with petty opportunists. The people taking these steps demonstrate a genuine intention to build a future for Spiral that benefits all of its residents. There is still much work to be done and our spires will remain apart from their city until it is complete, but it would not be appropriate to once again use the mithril block to defend their minds from the plateau, though we are not yet ready to share its secrets.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (345-0)
Notes: This relates to the complex situation in Spiral since it became part of the League. It refers to the mandate enacted by Lepidina, urging that the secrets of the Block (which helps mitigate the effects of living in Spiral) [[Urizennot be shared outside the nation.

Judgement 79

Assembly: Urizen
Raised By: Aspar
Judgement: Embrace your past, never be ashamed of it. Sulemaine i Taziel's teachings are timeless, and we take inspiration from them, but her legacy now belongs to us. The Sword Scholars of Urizen have found Sulemaine's limits and we have gone beyond them. To venerate Sulemaine without question is to have learned nothing from her lessons. We encourage all Sword Scholars to forge their own path, free from the shackles of the past. Interrogate the world with your blade and with your mind, be unfaltering, be relentless, question everything, and find your own truth.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (328-0)
Notes: * Notes: This statement seems to relate to the mandate enacted by Herminius of the House of the Wanderer, repudiating the legacy of Sulemaine i Taziel. The Urizen Assembly had previously endorsed the teachings of this controversial figure, [[ |stating in a mandate in 383YE that they were "the perfect epitome of the Urizeni spirit - pure calculating reason unhindered by emotion or pity."

Judgement 80

Assembly: Freeborn
Raised By: Atushak i Fijadoz i Erigo
Judgement: Each summit our senators and dhomiro agree on infrastructure projects that are the key priorities for the nation. Our prosperity should be used to support these strategic projects before shorter term tactical/personal gains which will have less benefit in the long run.
Outcome: Upheld (116-7)
Notes: The Freeborn people fiercely protect their right to decide how to spend their wealth, meaning the decision whether to invest in "national projects" or to donate to charity are always left to the individual. The assembly has also urged their people to contribute to the grand endeavour - the sacred city in Bastion - meaning that there is little interest in statements that urge the people to support other projects at the current time.

Judgement 84

Assembly: Wisdom
Raised By: Palladius
Judgement: Wisdom is finding the right question. The Apulian Orcs say power is a crown, but virtue is its own reward, the virtuous uplift then pe(?). But only one (?) wear a crown. We bring the (?)enge of Wisdom to the Apulian orcs so they can assure that virtue is their highest calling.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (399-28)
Notes: This statement was unfortunately water damaged so some sections were illegible. It appears to refer to the spiritual beliefs of the Apulian Orcs, and their integration with the Way.

Judgement 85

Assembly: General
Raised By: Tubris, Son of Armisael
Judgement: As the Free Folk complete their pilgrimage around the Empire, the time will come for them to settle and find a new home. The Highguard national assembly has a statement of principle in place, recognising them as kindred souls, and inviting them to join the Highborn nation. We encourage priests from all over the Empire who may be hosting Freefolk to advise them of Highguard's inviation.
Outcome: Upheld (1366-220)
Notes: The Free Folk are former Asavean slaves who are currently engaged in a pilgrimage across the Empire. A number of them are also studying the Way with Highborn priests, taking advantage of scholarships paid for by the benefactors of Highguard. The invitational statement referred to may be Judgement 127 from 384YE Autumn Equinox, raised by Brother Aemon, which was upheld by the Highborn assembly but did not receive a greater majority.

Judgement 86

Assembly: Dawn
Raised By: Chauntecleer Words
Judgement: The telling of tales within Dawn is one of our cherished traditions for the instruction of virtues. Dawn thanks all those who took part in the Summer Contest of Words for cotninuing this, in particular our winner the Earl of Fools for their tale of Food Hygeine, as judged by the acclaim of our children.
Outcome: Upheld (217-0)

Judgement 87

Assembly: Dawn
Raised By: Vivane Knotes
Judgement: We ask the Assembly to consider a series of judgements seeking consensus on the interpretations of the tradition of Black Knights. This is the first and pertains to the physical act of girding. Ideally a Black Knight would gird in isolation to maintain absolute secrecy. However this is not always practical; the entire tradition of girding exists because help may be required to put on harness. And sometimes an act can be made more glorious through an element of co-ordination. However girding as a group should be done in private, and any so witnessing understand the requirement for absolute discretion. It is definitely not appropriate to either gird; or announce the intent to gird identifiably, as a Black Knight in public. This completely undermines the premise that those taking part or observing do not know whom a Black Knight is, and therefore cannot attribute their deeds beyond "Dawn".
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (273-42)
Notes: This statement discusses the hearth magic of Dawn, as well as the tradition of the black knights and their singular heraldry.

Judgement 88

Assembly: Prosperity
Raised By: Pickers Blackleap
Judgement: As the prosperity assembly watches those that benefit from the white granite auction, it is clear Landon Hawcome said the quiet part out loud. He is now so financially insulated from competition that he can agree the lowest price for himself, while stopping others from getting on the ladder, and preventing them from being as prosperous as he can be. We believe the most prosperous individuals should show their virtue by nurturing healthy competition in the Bourse auctions.
Outcome: Upheld (150-56)
Notes: The Auction of the Seats for white granite resources takes place each Summer Solstice.

Judgement 89

Assembly: Marches
Raised By: Grey Stone
Judgement: On behalf of Quay Stone "Tomorrow's traditions grow from the seeds of today." Quay Stone of House Stone is gathering less-known Marcher maritime traditions. As the Empire's attention turns towards the Sea of Snow, the Marcher Assembly calls for Marchers to seek out and share the learned wisdom of our people, so that these traditions may better serve our nation and the world - whether it be through fishing, making war, or enabling others to march to safer shores.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (254-0)

Judgement 90

Assembly: Dawn
Raised By: Lady Kaywenn de Orzel
Judgement: What we win we proudly defend, not just for us as Dawnish but also those in the Barrens who accept us as liberators. The Druj always return, we should stay ever vigilant and prepared for that inevitability.
Outcome: Upheld (237-10)

Judgement 91

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: Tuuli
Judgement: We caution all to remain vigilant against Blood-on-the-Snow after the upheaval this year, with three cultist leaders still at large. Share with your neighbours, keep each other warm, and remind each other that this is not forever. We are scions sired by a storm and shall weather whatever winter brings.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (342-0)
Notes: As with Judgement 92, this statement relates to the lingering threat of the eternal Agramant in the wake of the liberation of Sermersuaq, especially the agents of Blood-on-the-Snow still believed to be at large - Kaarine White-Eye, Maarik the Golden Tongue, and Wemba the Bloody.

Judgement 92

Assembly: Wisdom
Raised By: Ourania Neofoti of the House of the Wanderer
Judgement: We caution all to remain vigilant against Blood-on-the-Snow after the upheaval this year, with three cultist leaders still at large. We urge all those who follow wisdom to question those who offer boons and easy solutions.
Outcome: Upheld with a Greater Majority (412-0)
Notes: As with Judgement 91, this statement relates to the influence of the eternal Agramant in the wake of the liberation of Sermersuaq, especially the agents of Blood-on-the-Snow still believed to be at large - Kaarine White-Eye, Maarik the Golden Tongue, and Wemba the Bloody.

Judgement 96

Assembly: Wintermark
Raised By: Maarit Suvidottir
Judgement: With regards the Barrens and the future of it's people we remind the Empire of its long history of heterodoxy and accepting non-Imperials and non-Way peoples living in our lands, treated them well, and sought their input when we felt it useful. This includes the Mournwold Orcs, Great Forest Orcs, Sandfishers, Hylje, ex-Iron Confederaxy, the Free Folk, and many others. The Empire is ten nations, Wintermark is three people. They will see the value of The Way over time. Rapidly putting them to the sword or ignoring their input imperils souls we could otherwise save.
Outcome: Upheld (312-0)

Judgement 97

Assembly: General
Raised By: Rooslan Stanvih Prochnost
Judgement: On behalf of the students of the Academy, especially Luca Lutaboravich Glinka, the Synod recognises that while boggarts of the realms can be troublesome there is no need to hurt them. With the right tools they can be herded and they can be bargained with for mutual advantage. We encourage the citizens of the Empire to first try diplomacy rather than aggression to more effectively deal with any boggart trouble. Remember, ambition teaches us it is better to try and fail, than fail to try.
Outcome: Upheld (1655-26)
Notes: Boggarts are creatures of the realms roughly analogous to vermin ; much weaker than heralds but still capable of posing a threat to Imperial citizens. Recent Empire-wide enchantments have seen boggarts drawn from the Spring realm, Autumn realm, and even the realm of Day making a nuisance of themselves.
