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
